Customer Rating:      Summary: I frickin' love this book Comment: I have numerous survival manuals, icluding an airforce manual written by one of my best friends who is a retired survival intructor with the airforce, and actually got this book as a gift from him.
It is one of my favorite books ever, and is definitely my favorite survival book. I have never seen the debris hut information anywhere else and it may be the best survival technique of all time. I can't believe it isn't more widely known.
The book is very thorough on many subjects that are spoken little of in other survival manuals. Get it.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Practical Comment: Cool book. Very practical about how to survive in the wilds of North America with nothing but the clothes on your back. Maybe not even that!
A little bit of "be at one with nature" stuff, but otherwise very informative. Good choice for a Boy Scout, or anyone wants to "go lite" when hiking and camping - using natural surroundings for cover, shelter, and food.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Excellent field guide Comment: Again, this is an excellent field guide put together by Tom Brown Jr. Another must have for anyones personal library. Excellent, life improving information in these pages. Great work!
Customer Rating:      Summary: book Comment: good book to have in the field. Very informative. a must have for wilderness survival. Great price.

Customer Rating:      Summary: interesting storing telling, poor survival information Comment: This book has many far fetched tales and only a few good survival tips. The author talks alot about what seems to be a fictional character called stalking wolf and tries very hard to make him sound real. I liked a few of his shelter ideas and some of the traps, but there was nothing in this book i havent read before. If you want to read some interesting survival tales and dont care to learn survival skills, this will be a good book for you. my advice, look else where for a good survival handbook.
