SAS Survival Handbook: How to Survive in the Wild, in Any Climate, on Land or at Sea |
Rating: 5 (out of 5)
Summary: When the Zombies attack, who you gonna call?
Comments:
If you have his number, you will call this author, John "Lofty" Wiseman.
If you do not, you better have this book.
While this book will not help with actually disposing of the zombies, it will assist tremendously in surviving in the desert/jungle/arctic wilderness you've been driven to in your escape.
And seriously, folks, stuff happens. you will recall that there were air raid shelters when we were kids, all those years ago; and those are now gone.
So when the fertilizer hits the air circulation devices, you will need to rely on your own preparation and knowledge.
This guy (Lofty) is the THE guy in the area of survival. After 26 years with the SAS, he's taught survival and hand to hand and God knows what else, and he is as matter of fact as can be about teaching what he knows.
This book is sort of like an explorer scout handbook on steroids. It supplies simple, direct instructions about how to survive in all sorts of different environments, and how to obtain critical resources including food and water from those various environments.
Now, just having the book is better than nothing.
Even better is reading the book and putting together the "kit" he suggests (including knife, flashlight, and so on) in preparation for the zombie invasion, BEFORE that eventuality occurs.
This is a great book. While Lofty knows a lot about a lot, he had to cram a lot into1book. This book will not tell you in great detail how to build or use a bow and arrow. It will not tell you in great detail how to hunt, fish, or prepare wild game.
On the other hand, having this much info is WAY better than being as dumb as you currently are (you haven't howeverchered a wild pig, have you? And you do not know the major difference between prepping a sheep and a pig, and the reason for the difference, do you?
Well, neither did I; however having read it once, it'll stick. And if I am lucky, I will not have to deal with a reactor spill, or rocket attack, or zombie invasion; however this book is a useful book to have read, in the event that the dam does break, or the Creek do rise. |

Summary: Comprehensive Survival Text
Comments: My husband has the pocket sized version of this which he carries in his backpack. This1is for me. We're avid outdoors people, hiking and camping in the wilderness areas of the southwest and California. It's the "bible" of survival texts which Comes with emergency medicine, bushcraft, and safety information for e environment. This is a "must" for another serious about spending time in the outdoors. |

Rating: 5 (out of 5)
Summary: An essential for outdoor enthusiasts
Comments: This book was excellent at highlighting the need for great preparation and being forearmed with knowledge. Its a great collection of knowledge and experience that applies across almost all situations and locations.
The format makes for easy reading and reference and the diagrams are easy to follow. It covers all the essentials of navigation, food and water (even sources of salt), game trapping and hunting (inclusive of simple weapons). The author's approach of stressing the importance of great preparation and the manitainance of a "will to live" set the perfect tone for getting into the basics of survival.
Overall, a great purchase. Scope for improvement: Make this into a smaller, hardcover or leatherbound, waterproof edition that will easily fit into any camper's bag or outdoor excursion package for quick and easy reference.
