Customer Rating: Summary: From Camping to Survival, It Has It All! Comment: One of the best outdoor books written. Simple to read and to the point. Many, many pictures and illustrations. A wealth of information and a great reference book. A longtime proven source of information that you will go back to time and time again. Customer Rating: Summary: Big and good Comment: It's a bigger book than I thought but it still fits in my backpack :-) An excellent book with all the info a serious amateur or pro camper needs. If not for brushing up then for looking up. Customer Rating: Summary: SUPERB INFO- Easy to grasp & apply Comment: Alright- this book is a classic! For the family or individual who loves to get out & enjoy nature, this is the book for them. Our original purchase was done in the Sequoia's (of California) for a 10 year old boy who loves outdoors, survival techniques & nature. After reviewing the book ourselves, we decided we had to have one - plus three more for Xmas gifts to famillies! This is one you'll keep! Customer Rating: Summary: A great buy, at that price... Comment: For what you pay (less than 20 bucks), this book more than satisfies. The sheer breadth of the topics covered is astounding. But it seems that Tawrell went for quantity instead of quality when he wrote this. A lot of the information included in the book is too brief, whetting the reader's interest and then leaving him hanging. This lack of depth hurts Tawrell's credability a bit, but for a book this size, I can understand his need for brevity. The book would have been much better (but more expensive) with photos instead of illustrations. Also, a few reviewers have mentioned the grammatical errors that abound in the book. This bothers me too (I'm an editor), but I can look past it. It almost seems to give the book a sort of old-fashioned charm. The layout of the information is a bit messy sometimes, but again, I'm sure it was done to cram as much information into the book as possible. This is a great source to introduce readers to the wilderness. It almost functions as an encyclopedia of sorts, since it covers such a broad area. You won't be disappointed with this book. It's well worth the cost. Trust me. Customer Rating: Summary: Survival is to try this Comment: I bought this book because of the boy scouts and my son and to re-freash my outdoor life.I found the book to be very good and full of good thing and after reading other peoples thoughts of this book is wrong because until you try it out or the tricks of how it works and they do for I tried them or most of them on campouts and a few classes I went through its just you trying it more then once on a few of them others no problem at all.The one that work of you keep them in mine and the ones that don't keep trying them you will find the loop hole as they say.. I would give this book a very good try specally for scouting.
With over 3,600 illustrations and pages of information, Camping & Wilderness Survival provides a wealth of information on how to travel, make a camp, understand your environment, and choose equipment. A book no survivor should be without!
