SAS Survival Handbook: How to Survive in the Wild, in Any Climate, on Land or at Sea

Very cool book. Very informative and it even tells you that some techniques should only be used in dire need situations, as they can be against the law.

I found this book jam packed with information relating to survival in various conditions. It explains everything from the desperate situations to the mild encounters. It covers practical aspects of terrains, wildlife, how to prepare for the variety of situations you may face. Without going overboard or into far too much detail it remains easy to read by describing the facts and techniques in a non complicated manor. I would recommend this book for anyone planning traveling or even just with an aim to gain knowledge of our world around us.

That's what the hero in Terminator one and two said to Sarah Conner and that's what this book is saying to anyone that purchases it. I have lived off the land for several years, seen it all and this book still covers things I've not encountered. A most excellent book for the serious survivalist, or the guy/gal that just wants to mess around for a few days all alone in the wilderness. It's written plainly and easily so as to not confuse the issue at hand......especially when that issue may be causing a bit of panic. Put this in your backpack and take care knowing you've got a good friend coming along for the ride. wolfgang

I love this book. I was on a flight over the mountains recently and I was praying the jet would go down and I could use this book to help my fellow passengers and I survive. Unfortunately that didn't happen. Or is that fortunately it didn't happen? I'm not sure anymore. I'm so confident in this book I'm going to take up flying and crash in the mountains on purpose, just to put these techniques to use. You should too!!!!

I bought this book for my husband as a Christmas present, and it's the first book that he's gotten that has kept his interest the whole way through. I have begun reading it myself, and you can't find a better organized, better written, more concise book on survival out there than this one. It shared everything from edible plants, to how to carry an injured person, to how create a steamer for your food out of a hollow branch. I would say to take the plunge and buy it, you'll be pleased and very much so educated in any survival situation.
