1: Can You Survive?
Hey!
This is the book to read if you want to know how to survive high-risk, difficult situations. Chances may be good you never have to use the information in here, but it certainly can't hurt, and in the current economy, the information may come in handy in a non-survival situation.
I've read a lot of Survival Handbooks, and I like the variety of information in them, but this one is the one that I really had to have. The information goes a little deeper, and it all is laid out in a attention grabbing way. This one also hase the broadest range of subjects, attempting to cover more survival situations than most books. And it does a pretty decent job of covering them, too. However, John "Lofty" Wiseman hasn't been in the SAS for a very long time, so the modern methods they use aren't going to be in here. But it is a great reference to use on survival methods, and I intend to learn the skills they mention.
Hope that helps all you potential customers, and happy reading!
Luv ya,
Tashi :)

2: ...
this is the best book ever. I had the old colon's gem pocket version but this one is better.
the pocket one has it's place, But i highly recommend this book.

3: Good book, glossy pics would be nice
Needs glossy pictures of some things like plants, traps, and shelters. A sketch doesn't quite cut it when you're learnign about something completely new like making a snare/trap... I'd like to see some photographs of how they end up looking.

4: It's good to go
The book was bigger than I thought from other reviews, but it's still a good piece of gear.

5: Great info, good read
This book has a ton of great info, a lot of which I personally learned in the Army. There is so much that I didn't know or was no too familiar with also. If you do a lot of camping or backpacking, this book would come in handy. Just make sure you actually try and practice what you read. You don't want your first time to be the time that your life depends on your skill.
