    Confident in the outdoors

    Read this book decades ago,a great guide into feeling at home and confident in the outdoors if you practice and learn little parts at a time.Not a read once and out into the wild. Wanted a copy for a grandchild.

  • A fun and handsome book to have around.

    Probably, like most people who own this book, I received mine as a gift. Perhaps some innate mountain man spirit or boy scout tendencies of mine made somebody think this was an appropriate present to give me around the holidays. Anyways, I appreciated the gift and have only recently gotten around to reading and reviewing it. In this edition of the book the cover is bound in olive drab, grip rubber, not unlike a basketball. This unique cover material makes the book a handsome and manly looking piece of literature if there ever was one. So what about the content? Well, as a former soldier, I found much of the material consistent with standard military survival manuals, particularly when it comes to woodland survival. The language of the writing is classic 1950's American English, not too ...

  • 2008 review classic "How To Stay Alive In The Woods"

    This is the hardcover edition of the 1956 book of the same title by Bradford Angier. This book is absolutely remarkable - it has the ability to rearrange your priorities - to reassure anyone of their ability to SURVIVE in the 'WILD'. This book is basic, in the best sense of the word, to help focus on the essential needs to 'stay alive' until rescue or reaching civilization. Which foods supply the best nutrients? (its a sliding scale i.e. effort versus return on energy expended) What if you don't have a compass? What constitutes the best strategy/strategies for optimum success? Different considerations for an individual versus a group. Simply addressed - this book has its focus on 'necessity', literal survival imperatives, and shows why some well-known (and well thought of) strategies are ...

  • About two tons of essential information in a one pound book!!

    I have purchased 6 copies of this books at present time. Five of the hardcover and one paperback. Two hardcover copies went to grandsons, two to friends, one I've kept, and the paperback is stowed in my backpack. The reason I bought these books is that I couldn't put mine down once I started reading it. Had I had this book when I was sloshing around in Vietnam back in 1972, I would have had an edge over a lot of people. I have been a firearms and survival instructor for almost 18 years, and when I got into this book I just smiled. Some 1950's (it has had different titles, refinements, and re-publishing through the years) skills and wisdom that are even more important today then they were back then. If you hit the woods, care for somebody that does, or you are building a bug ...

  • Misleading, it should be what NOT to do in the woods.

    It is too weird, antiquated and does not help in survival in woods. This guy talks about eating stuff in ways far beyond what we need to know. Other books are a better choice.
