Book Review: Survival Cornerstone
Summary: 5 Stars

To my review. I was intrigued about this book because of the background of the author. Knowing that the military spends hundreds of thousands of dollars on training their pilots and other airmen, I could only imagine how much time and money they must?ve spent on training their instructors whose job it was to keep these men alive. If an airman were to find himself stranded in the wilderness, for whatever reason there might be, he would need to know the essentials of survival for many different climates and geographic locales. That is where this book excells. It gives the reader an intelligently structured set of instructions that offer anyone the best odds of survival in nearly every circumstance.

I have read every book on the subject of wilderness survival and there are many fine ones in print. This book by Davenport seems to bring them all together. It is concise, very well written, very informative, and most importantly it is organized better than any other wilderness skills book I have read. It serves as the new center piece in my library on the subject. If a book, or manual, or article has been printed on the subject of wilderness survival, I own it. There are other books that delve deeper into particular areas of wilderness survival but none encompass the totality of the subject as well as Greg Davenport?s. This book is clearly meant to serve as the cornerstone of one?s education. It offers an excellent foundation with enough specifics that the reader is presented with several different options or plans to follow in the case of an emergency. If I were to recommend only one book on the subject, this would certainly be the one. It will accompany me on all future assignments and I feel more secure in knowing that it will always be by my side.
