Book Reviews of Wilderness Evasion: A Guide To Hiding Out and Eluding Pursuit in Remote Areas
Book Review: Great stuff!!
Summary: 5 Stars
As a life-long student of survival and self reliance, I greeted "Wilderness Evasion" with particular interest. Most books treat wilderness survival within the context of getting found; this one takes the opposite tack of "getting lost," --and staying healthy and free in the process. But you don't have to be an outlaw or a misanthrope to benefit from this guide. As Mick explains in the introduction entitled Why Would Anyone Want to Hide Out in the Wilderness, the information is for everyone. To quote from page 2: "For people who regularly spend time in the wilderness or who live in remote areas, wilderness evasion can serve as a means of self protection. It takes little effort to find reports...of hikers being mugged or campers being abducted from their campsites." I might add that this information could be even more important for those who only occasionally get out into the wild, and are therefore are even on less familiar ground.
Eighteen chapters cover such topics as shelter, food, fire, and navigation, as well as camouflage, primitive weapons, caches, and resupply. I found Mick's chapters on survival medicine and communications to be particularly well done. Both are exellent stand-alone primers on these two essential topics for those who would be self reliant.
I particularly liked Mick's advice for putting together an emergency kit, which he dubs The GOOD Kit. A more pleasing (at least to me) sobriquet for the well known B.O.B., the GOOD Kit lists items essential for any emergency situation.
Mick Chesbro has a real winner with "Wilderness Evasion." Based on lessons learned during his career with the US Army, "Wilderness Evasion" offers sound advice for anyone interesed in wilderness survival or self reliance. It is a great addition to everyone's outdoor library.
My recommendation: Buy this book!
