I have numerous survival manuals, icluding an airforce manual written by one of my best friends who is a retired survival intructor with the airforce, and actually got this book as a gift from him.
It is one of my favorite books ever, and is definitely my favorite survival book. I have never seen the debris hut information anywhere else and it may be the best survival technique of all time. I can't believe it isn't more widely known.
The book is very thorough on many subjects that are spoken little of in other survival manuals. Get it.

Cool book. Very practical about how to survive in the wilds of North America with nothing but the clothes on your back. Maybe not even that!
A little bit of "be at one with nature" stuff, but otherwise very informative. Good choice for a Boy Scout, or anyone wants to "go lite" when hiking and camping - using natural surroundings for cover, shelter, and food.

This book has many far fetched tales and only a few good survival tips. The author talks alot about what seems to be a fictional character called stalking wolf and tries very hard to make him sound real. I liked a few of his shelter ideas and some of the traps, but there was nothing in this book i havent read before. If you want to read some interesting survival tales and dont care to learn survival skills, this will be a good book for you. my advice, look else where for a good survival handbook.
