1: Amazing!
Even if I won't ever be in all the places this book is discribing, it has incredible value for me and my son's outdoors adventures! There might be conflicting information out there about Bear Grylls but we don't care!. We still enjoy his amazing book. Way to go, Bear!

2: A+ A book to learn from
Bear Grylls is an amazing individual I own all his books & his dvd's for mN VS. WILD I HIGHLY RECOMEND THIS FOR THE OUTDOORSMAN

3: Oh yes!
I love Bear Grylls and never miss his show when it's on. When I heard that this book was coming out I all but camped at my local bookstore until I got my hands on it. So, enough of the fan girl chatter. Is the book fun? Yep. Is it useful? Yep. I hope I never have to make a snow cave but I kinda sorta know what to do now. Is it abolutely chock of details about survival. Yep. I'm ready to go eat some ants or supervise my husband as he skins a snake now.

4: Somewhere between coffee table book and survival manual
First off. I am a big fan of Bear Grylls. I watch his show regularly, and I have read about his climb to the top of Everest. With that said, this book left me a little disappointed. It does have a lot of information in it and glossy pictures but it lacks the nitty gritty info of other survival manuals. For instance; I did not find a list of basic items that should be carried in the bush. Also, the fire making section doesn't really touch on how to use the flint and steel used by Bear in his show. I guess if you are a fan of the show Man vs Wild then this is a good accompaniment. But, if you are looking for a good survival skills book this isn't it.

5: Excellent guide and read.
When I first opened the cover, I was greeted by a breath-taking picture of Bear crossing a volcanic area. I knew then that this book would be great.
There is a tremendous amount of knowledge packed into it with some beautiful pictures and excellent illustrations. Bear guides you through the fundamental survival skills (fire making, natural ways to treat illness, making knots, and more), and to the more specific skills for certain terrain types.
There is a lot more information in here that he has yet to reveal in the show. Even you don't watch the show, this book can act as a "Staying Alive in the Wilderness for Newbs" guide and still be useful.
This is a great buy and is fun to read thanks to Bear's magnetic personality. I highly recommend this book to anyone who has an interest in the outdoors.
