 Great for kids! January 6, 2009
I've been on the lookout for a good little book on survival to use as a text in a class I'm teaching for 7-8 grade students at a local elementary/Jr. High school. I was pleased to find no bad language or "hard edge" military reference. Fine basic information for civillians. Very easy to read for Jr. Highers with no high-brow words. Lofty seems like a stand up guy, and I'm thankful he saw fit to put this together. Also, It's small enough to fit in your kit and the kids will like taking it home with them. Now, if only I could give them a Mora Clipper knife and Blastmatch as well, they would be set! God bless "zero tolerance"....
Excellent book December 28, 2008
This book is comprehensive and extremely thorough. Diagrams and drawings supplement written instructions on everything from knot tying, snare construction, animal preperation and edible plants.
Good as a pocket survival guide. September 29, 2008

This book is great. It tells you basic needs for survival like how to find water, make shelter and purify water. It is just a great book. If you frequently travel to different places like jungles or forests and you want to know how to survive in the wild if you get lost, this is a good book to get.
Compact, comprehensive, interesting and useful. August 11, 2008

I bring this with me every time I go camping. It is very compact, fairly light, and packed with tons of useful info. Much of the info is practical knowledge even if you're not in a survival situation. It is written clearly and well illustrated, and is fun to read. The book is also water resistant and very durable. I have noticed a lot of typos in the book, but I still consider it the best survival book I have seen, and I highly reccomend it. I also have the larger version, which is a little easier to read and contains a bit more info, but the smaller one is very comprehensive and has almost as much information.
very good July 16, 2008
seems complete, the color pics of plants & stuff are great, the only slight problem is he uses some idioms that are from england but considering were he is from, i have read & tried parts of this book, seem to work well
