An... entertaining... manual, but don't read this expecting to conquer the wilderness! Some of the information is clever and useful, such as different types of shelter, navigating by the sun and stars, and a fairly extensive list of edible plants (black and white drawings only but still pretty accurate ones), but other information is very outdated, most notably some of the information on reptiles and fish. For example, treating a snakebite by cutting the skin and sucking out the poison - NOT a good idea, and will cause more tissue damage than benefit! Also, the idea that barracuda are aggressive fish that attack without warning or provocation... some of this stuff is straight out of a B-movie. Still, not a bad place to start if you're a novice and want to learn what dangers to watch for in the woods, and it's pretty cheap (free online if Google "FM 21-76"). Experienced hikers/survivalists/etc will know to look elsewhere for more up to date and accurate info.

A really great book. It is worth hanging onto. Money well spent. I highly recommend it.
getting ready November 2, 2008
I live right on an earthquake fault and thought it was about time I get prepared. This book isn't glamorous but gives alot of information.

The item arrived in good condition and quickly but it was not as described as far as the information it provides it left a lot to be desired.

Get this as a free download (Input on Google: "FM 21-76") and save this PDF File on a memory chip. It is what it purports to be. It could save your life and the lives of everyone in your family - even your neighbors. If it turns out that you don't have a need for it, then it cost you nothing.
