Book Reviews of US Army Survival Manual: FM 21-76Book Review: The Best Book on Survival Summary: 5 Stars
As a Special Forces soldier, I read just about every book there is on survival. Most are hardly worth the paper they are printed on, and that especially includes the popular "survival" books which tend to contain potentially deadly errors and omissions. The main problem with these "worst case" books and others is that most readers, unfortunately, have no way of knowing what is accurate and what is fantasy. For readers who wish to stick to nonfiction, this book is your best choice.
Book Review: Survival Guide a definate valued necessity Summary: 4 Stars
This book covers many areas of outdoor's experience, with everything except the (POW survival) part coming into usefullness for the avid outdoor enthusiast. My only complaint would be the brief explanations and mediocre illustrations of some of the types of plants and traps/snares. Still, as a hunter and outdoor enthusiast, I will still surprised to read a few things I've never learned about or thought of using as a means of outdoors survival / trade.
Book Review: Its a good survival book Summary: 4 Stars
Its a very good survival book, I recommend you to read this book with the help of some other well illustrated books, this one is well illustrated too but not perfect at all. I recommend it for outdoor enthusiast, and for boy scouts. I recommend to have other books at hands specially in the venomous animals and poisonous plants as well as edible plants, this because some plants are not listed, only few, as well as some dangerous animals.
Book Review: One of my favorite books! Summary: 5 Stars
This is a great book! It has every little detail about survival. If you want a survival book, forget the Worst Case Survival Handbook which only has tips you'll probably never use in real life. This book gives you instruction on Desert, Tropical and Sea survival. From how to get water in the Sahara, to starting a fire, to confronting natives, If I fly in an airplane or go out to sea on a vacation, I'm bringing this book!
Book Review: An excellent resource for the woodsman Summary: 5 Stars
While the cover is plain, and the pictures are goofy, the content is A-class.While most of us will never need to worry about trapping animals with deadfall logs, it does have a lot of useful advice in it concerning basic first aid, preventing exposure, plant edibility, etc. For the outdoorsman, the hiker, hunter and such, this would definately be a wise choice to pick up. I have my copy in the glove box of my car.
