An Excellent, thorough collection of usable survival tactics for the everyday person who has had little or no survival training. Possibly could be a life saver at the right time and place. This is an over-sized, soft back compilation of 480 pages of clear type and black and white illustrations that prepare one for just about any human need to stay alive on the face of the earth. Although it is bulky, it is soft and pliable, about two pounds I would estimate, and could be taken along in a back pack, although it might seem more reasonable to study and learn the applicable parts for your outing and make notes to take along instead. A huge amount of information for an economical price.

I spend my summers working for a Boy Scout camp, so I figured this would be a handy reference when I picked it up. And indeed it is! It's a thorough and detailed account of every little survival or outdoor skill you could possible want to know without writing a thesis on any one particular idea. I love the old-fashioned organization and appearance--true handbook style save for the size! Excellent resource! My camp boss is actually looking into picking up more copies.
