Review: Nice fit in your pack book. - This is the mass paperback small size of the SAS guide. I read a review of this book on a survival website recommending the smaller version so you could fit it nicely in a Bug out bag. Well this is a very light weight book. Lots of helpful information in the guide, there are so many of these types of books out there. I like it for its size and ease of read, I can go to this in a pack easier than I can a lot of the big books that will stay at home. Also pick up an old Boy Scout handbook on here to toss in along with it.
Review: Excellent book! - Very readable and clear diagrams make this book the best guide for the price. It covers almost every conceivable emergency challenge in the desert, at sea, mountains, arctic, etc. Even volcanoes and emergency child birth. Having a copy of this in your preparedness rucksack will be one of the best investments you can make for the money. I've been through a military survival training and this expands on it covering an amazing number of scenarios and punctures myths like drinking your own urine, etc. The chapter on plants and their uses is very good considering the variety of climates and terrain covered in this guide.
