Book Reviews of US Army Survival Manual: FM 21-76
Book Review: Ok, But...
Summary: 4 Stars
I like this book and enjoyed reading it. However, I agree with a previous reviewer who recommended Greg Davenport's books (Wilderness Living and Wilderness Survival) in addition to or instead of the US Army Survival Manual. Davenport covers the same material but avoids all the military issues found in this manual.Book Review: In Agreement with the Special Forces reviewer
Summary: 5 Stars
I, too, have read many survival books and I tend to disagree with some of the reviewers of this one. This is not only an excellent book, but the best on topic. The Survival Escape & Evasion version is simply not applicable to the average camper or disaster survivor. This is all you need, and much more.Book Review: Good reference book for outdoors
Summary: 4 Stars
This book will be more helpful if you are looking for wilderness survival tips than for urban survival tips (e.g. earthquake, flood etc). Not only is it detailed but also has helpful illustrations. If you are going camping I'd buy a copy to take with. It's small enough to tote and could come in very handy.Book Review: The Survival Book For Everyone
Summary: 5 Stars
I have now read this book, after taking the advice of the October 1, 2001 reviewer whose son is a military doctor (see, The First How-To Book Everyone Should Consider), and find it to be everything I expected, and more. It's a book EVERYONE should have, even if you're a couch-potato, not an outdoors person.Book Review: Good, but not great :l
Summary: 3 Stars
A good book with very useful info, but I was hoping for some color photos or something so I could better identify edible plants, etc. There are only line drawings, which makes it hard to identify the plants, etc. I think there are newer more recent editions that one could find. I plan on trying to find one.
