Book Reviews of US Army Survival Manual: FM 21-76
Book Review: Excellent Reference
Summary: 4 Stars
The Army Survival Manual is simply an indispensable resource for anyone concerned with basic outdoorsmanship, disaster survival, zombie apocalypse, wilderness pioneering, or other insane venture.
The book has all the basics for land and water survival; there are tips on how to make a life jacket from your pants, what plants are safe to eat, how to kill and cook a snake, and many other tips. The information on water purification is especially useful.
For the price here on Amazon, there's no reason not to have this manual on hand. But it just in case, read it to keep the information fresh in your mind, and keep it handy in the event that all hell breaks loose--or you just want to spend a weekend hiking.
Book Review: Life-saving content, bad printing
Summary: 4 Stars
This is the official military survival guide used by all US forces so its got everything you're likely to need if you get stranded in the wilderness. I used it for a guide teaching Civil Air Patrol cadets. Some of the survival lessons are aimed at in-field military (duh) but the techniques are clearly presented. Unfortunately, the print quality isn't what you might expect and several parts of the book looked like they'd run just a bit short on ink (budget cuts?). Once you get past that, though, its everything you need in a reasonable sized guide. Put it in the backpack and go. You're now reasonably assured of a safe return.Book Review: A Great Book
Summary: 5 Stars
Survival is a skill, and one you need to work on, you can have all the books in the world but unless your actually go out and try these things it's nothing but a collection of paper.
that being said this is an excellent source of information that you can use to attempt trapping food (Please check that it's legal in your area and remember where you placed all your traps as well as make sure you take them down after you have proven they work.) making camps and fire, cooking and eating and so forth.
hopefully you will never NEED This book, but if you do i hope you made the right choice and bought it.
Book Review: This is the definitive guide for survival.
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the definitive guide for survival. I bought this book and I am going through all the chapters and it is taking quite a long time because the book is full of material including visual guides for building fires, traps, etc. Make sure you have this book in your backpack, truck, or car at all times. I believe you could save your life with the techniques if you learn them correctly. Make sure you read this and have the proper provisions. Also, be sure to share this with others. If you don't want to buy the paperback it is available as a free Army document, but I find I like the paper copy better.Book Review: It is written just like a DoD manuel giving to soldiers.
Summary: 4 Stars
I actually own both this civilian and the army issued version of the DM 21. There is really no difference between them and if there was, like I would tell, right? But really, it is a good manual for those who have been trained hands on for what the manual covers as reference in the field. Exp, la de da dah- I am a little soldier having to survive alone in the wilderness---I'm hungry---those two flowers I know I can eat one of them because instructor said I could---O' yeah, I have the DM 21---I'll look and see which one---crap both are poisonious---glad I had this book to go along w/ my training.
