Very user-friendly; organized by the four seasons, the book combines abundant and well-executed graphic illustrations along with very thorough and easy to follow text to explain adequately how to survive in the wild. The author is able to address the technical aspects of survival and, at the same time, create an enjoyable and colorful guide that entertains and is a pleasure to read. Particularly well done are the descriptions of what can be eaten in the wild. The author is a recognized expert on fungi and roots as well as well versed in hunting and trapping techniques and this book is well enough illustrated to actually guide one in finding food in the wild. Well worth reading, even keeping in one's rucksack if space isn't too critical. Also makes an interesting coffee table book that most people will enjoy. 6" X 9.25" size paperback with 240 pages.Read full review
A friend told me about the book. It is one of the best. It has many tips for survival that are not in other books. At this writing there are 260000 homes without electric power in the north east because of a snow storm. These people are not outdoors but would have made it a lot easier if they had read this book and possibly saved a few more lives. No book is a must read but this one might save your life. 50calpet
