Book Reviews of US Army Survival Manual: FM 21-76Book Review: The Best Book on Survival Summary: 5 Stars
As a Special Forces soldier, I read just about every book there is on survival. Most are hardly worth the paper they are printed on, and that especially includes the popular "survival" books which tend to contain potentially deadly errors and omissions. The main problem with these "worst case" books and others is that most readers, unfortunately, have no way of knowing what is accurate and what is fantasy. For readers who wish to stick to nonfiction, this book is your best choice.
Book Review: An excellent resource for the woodsman Summary: 5 Stars
While the cover is plain, and the pictures are goofy, the content is A-class.While most of us will never need to worry about trapping animals with deadfall logs, it does have a lot of useful advice in it concerning basic first aid, preventing exposure, plant edibility, etc. For the outdoorsman, the hiker, hunter and such, this would definately be a wise choice to pick up. I have my copy in the glove box of my car.
Book Review: One of my favorite books! Summary: 5 Stars
This is a great book! It has every little detail about survival. If you want a survival book, forget the Worst Case Survival Handbook which only has tips you'll probably never use in real life. This book gives you instruction on Desert, Tropical and Sea survival. From how to get water in the Sahara, to starting a fire, to confronting natives, If I fly in an airplane or go out to sea on a vacation, I'm bringing this book!
Book Review: Great Book Summary: 5 Stars
I have read many survival books, and ive noticed that sometimes they get way too involved on one topic, but this awesome book gets to the point and its easy to flip thourgh and find what you need quickly. This book touches survival from many aspects, dessert, rain forest, tundra, wooded forest, artic and other conditions. A great read, and nice to have if your going camping or to just but in your car just in case.
Book Review: Outstanding Summary: 5 Stars
Having recently broken down just near Dagenham, I don't know what I would have done without this superb guide to practical survival. For a full two hours, as I waited for the RAC man to come, I was hiding in my lion-proof shelter while stalking the A406(S) for meercats to cosh and stew along with the edible grasses I had fried in improvised oil (let's not go there). All in all, an excellent book.
