Book Reviews of Basic Essentials Survival, 2nd (Basic Essentials Series)
Book Review: good solid book from a great series
Summary: 5 Stars
This is not the most comprehensive book on the subject, but you may be more likely to read this very accessible and simple book than a 300 page volume. Helpful information the novice can understand for finding or building shelter against the elements, building fires with or without matches, signaling for rescue help, finding water and making it safe to drink, getting food from native vegetation, emergency ways to fish, hunting or trapping, and other useful material.
Overall a great book for a camper of any level experience, extremely useful for new campers. The basic essentials series are terrific little books small enough to bring with you and reference. Long enough to provide everything you need to know about a particular topic such as wilderness weather, first aid, outdoor cooking, or backpacking, yet short enough to keep you from reading too much extra and unnecessary stuff. Camping can be dangerous even for the most experienced, things happen. You need to be prepared and this book will help you, in addition I recommend everyone take a Red Cross Basic First Aid class. I also you reccommend you pick up the book "Basic Essentials Wilderness First Aid" to add to this one. These two books from the same series may just save your life someday.
An efficient 80 pages in length with very helpful illustrations, paperback in a small size good for packing. This is a good book to keep a copy in your car trunk as well. I highly recommend this and others in the series.
