Book Reviews of US Army Survival Manual: FM 21-76
Book Review: Wasted my money
Summary: 2 Stars
First off, this book is dated Jan 1970 and there are no revisions listed inside the book, as to imply that it's been updated over the years. No, it's the Jan 1970 copy. And even at that, The information is so general as to be useless. For example, it says about Alligator encounters and such that one should avoid contact with large reptiles because they're likely to inflict injury. Well, no freaking duh!Wasted my money.Book Review: Great Book
Summary: 5 Stars
I have read many survival books, and ive noticed that sometimes they get way too involved on one topic, but this awesome book gets to the point and its easy to flip thourgh and find what you need quickly. This book touches survival from many aspects, dessert, rain forest, tundra, wooded forest, artic and other conditions. A great read, and nice to have if your going camping or to just but in your car just in case.Book Review: Outstanding
Summary: 5 Stars
Having recently broken down just near Dagenham, I don't know what I would have done without this superb guide to practical survival. For a full two hours, as I waited for the RAC man to come, I was hiding in my lion-proof shelter while stalking the A406(S) for meercats to cosh and stew along with the edible grasses I had fried in improvised oil (let's not go there). All in all, an excellent book.Book Review: We all have different ideas
Summary: 4 Stars
The information in a survival manual that makes it good or bad depends entirely on whether you've read the right one when the need hits. I went through the US Army Survival Training in 1963. The skills learned since then by the military are incorporated into this book. It isn't the be-all-end-all, but anyone who intends to read a single survival manual won't feel cheated by buying this one.Book Review: Weapon X
Summary: 5 Stars
As a US soldier this is the perfect book to hone up on your survival skills. As a civilian it may have some of the base facts, but some of the military "jargon" might confuse you. AS well as the enviroments depicted in the book. How many civilians are going to get lost in a hostile enviroment in the frist place. I highly recomend it for the military minded and experienced camper/hiker.
