No need for a long review here. This book was written by a professional soldier who was in the SAS, or the Special Air Service. For those not in the know, that's an elite unit of the British Army trained to carry out operations in ALL parts of the world. Eventually, the author became a survival instructor to the SAS, so you can be sure that this guy knows his stuff.

The book covers all you'd ever want to know about the essentials of surviving in climates such as: the polar region, mountains, seashores, islands, tropical regions, or even at sea. Here's few of the many topics the book covers:

-food, what you can and can't eat
-animal tracking with numerous pics
-color pics of edible plants
-pictures of traps and how to trap things
-how to handle animals you've killed for food
-how to make a camp and various shelters
-knot tying pics
-first aid
-color pics of medicinal plants
-picures of dangerous/poisonous critters
-things to have in a survival kit

A very handy resource for anybody who enjoys outdoor/wilderness activities, it's just a darn good thing to have around in case of emergencies- or even just to look at the pictures! Also recommend Treat Your Own Rotator Cuff if you have a shoulder problem that is interfering with your outdoor activities.

This is about the 20th copy of this book that I've bought. I keep giving them to my friends. I also have the app on my iPhone. It is a really great book, and I always have a copy in my backpack along with a compass, signal mirror, whistle, snare wire... etc.

For what I paid it's a bargain at �3.80 including postage! Very good little book, hundreds of pages on first aid and survival. I had this years ago as part of a first aid/survival kit and used it to make a shelter when I had to survive in the woods for 4 days as the survival part of a conservation course I did. Thanks to the instructions in this very compact little book I was able to quickly make a simple but effective shelter. Would recommend this book to anyone and everyone.

This book is perfect for camping, hiking, or just a general adventure. It's small, but contains every useful tip that you need to know in order to survive in the wild. It's easy to carry so you can take it anywhere. I would definitely recommend it as it covers every climate and offers excellent guidance on what to do in survival situations.

Probably the best survival book, written by the experts (SAS). This is a small edition, smaller than a normal paperback. But it has everything you need from basics to the more advanced techniques. Highly recommended.

very interesting read and at this price who could complain, 5*, try it for yerself, you canny go wrong, ty

really interesting book, definitely recommend to anyone who is interested in survival, explains everything in every situation. cant wait to use some of the stuff in it.

Smaller than you may think which makes it a little hard to read but great for carrying with you. Jam packed with virually every bit of info you would need for survival or even outdoor activities.

This one was exactly what I'd expected; a guide to how you
survive in nature. The info you need if you need to find your
way of surviving in almost every environment.

If there is something that they missed in this book i would be suprised ......................
Book is small , or would have veen 5*
