5 stars (Great) - I really enjoyed this book. I think it's the best one since Piercing the Darkness and This Present Darkness. It was just a story that I couldn't wait to continue reading. Can't really say enough about it except I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. 4 stars (Thought Provoking) - I've always enjoyed reading Frank's book and this one didn't dissapoint. The only week part was surprisingly the spiritual piece. I felt it was kind of stuck in there in an unnatural way. The characters seemed real, then almost awkward in their faith. I don't want to give away the ending, but I loved the surprise of what I thought was happening versus what really was and who the monster was. A must read for everyone, but not those who get spooked in the dark! 4 stars (I liked it : )) - I have to say that when it statred out about Bigfoot I thought "OH Great,what is this???" Only Peretti can make Bigfoot creatures come to life as individules with unique character traites. I enjoyed the book a lot. MJ ...

5 stars (An absolute necessity for the animal rights debate.) - Ortega delves into the art of hunting, and gets to the root of the matter. Both the nature of human, and of animal are examined. Be forewarned, this is heavy duty philosophy, not just an article on where to hang a tree stand. Ortega wrote in the early twentieth century, and so some will think his ideas are dated, and that we know much better now. This gives rise to the thought that humans change rapidly. Ortega's work stands because we do not substantially change over just a hundred or even a thousand years. This is why Shakespear and the Bible are still applicable, and why Ortega's Meditations On Hunting still stands. The act of hunting has changed over the centuries, to evolve into sport. Ortega delves into this also, and his answer to our inner questions, and the current questions of animal rightists is so clear and distilled that it shines in one's brain. It is rare to find one so clear in academia. ...

5 stars (Weapon X) - 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. 5 stars (Awsome Book) - This book is awsome, and although some people dislike the military references (using you gun, hide from the enemy)i thought it was interesting and sometimes a bit humerous. I gave this book 5 stars because it is EXACTLY what a military survival book should be. Now, if it was written SPECIFICALY for civilians i would give a worse score becase of the military reference. The thing i disliked about this book the most was the lack of information about surviving in what i consider a "normal" envirement. It has the desert, arctic, and tropical, but i want to know how to survive in the wilderness where i live (Northern MN). I was also disappointed with the plants. I know that they were having to cover the whole world pretty much but i would have liked it better to have a few more plant descriptions as only about 4 of the plants listed live were i live. I would also have liked to have a better description of how to prepare the plant (the most tastey way possible with little supplys so that you don't end up spitting it out cause it tastes like ****. Overall: Great for the military, entertaining and very informative for civilians but doesn't cover living/surviving in the Deciduous and Coniferous forests very well. I wouldn't recomend this to someone who wants information about edible plants as it has very little. For that i would recomend the Peterson Field Guide To Edible Plants (i own it, its very good, but i have trouble making any of the food taste good). 4 stars (Good except for Jungle/Desert Survival) - The U.S. Army field manual on Survival is...

5 stars (A great buy, at that price...) - For what you pay (less than 20 bucks), this book more than satisfies. The sheer breadth of the topics covered is astounding. But it seems that Tawrell went for quantity instead of quality when he wrote this. A lot of the information included in the book is too brief, whetting the reader's interest and then leaving him hanging. This lack of depth hurts Tawrell's credability a bit, but for a book this size, I can understand his need for brevity. The book would have been much better (but more expensive) with photos instead of illustrations. Also, a few reviewers have mentioned the grammatical errors that abound in the book. This bothers me too (I'm an editor), but I can look past it. It almost seems to give the book a sort of old-fashioned charm. The layout of the information is a bit messy sometimes, but again, I'm sure it was done to cram as much information into the book as possible. This is a great source to introduce readers to the wilderness. It almost functions as an encyclopedia of sorts, since it covers such a broad area. You won't be disappointed with this book. It's well worth the cost. Trust me. 4 stars (Survival is to try this) - I bought this book because of the boy scouts and my son and to re-freash my outdoor life.I found the book to be very good and full of good thing and after reading other peoples thoughts of this book is wrong because until you try it out or the tricks of how it works and they do for I tried them or most of them on campouts and a few classes I went through its just you trying it more then once on a few of them others no problem at all.The one that work of you keep them in mine and the ones that don't keep trying them you will find the loop hole as they say.. I would give this book a very good try specally for scouting. 5 stars (A very Good Book) - I also believe that the reviewers are being a bit too critical of the book; it is a guide to outdoor survival. It is not a textbook ... Falcon Distribution :: Sports & Recreation :: Sports :: Safety :: Outdoor Skills :: Camping :: Paul Tawrell :: :: Camping - Wilderness Survival
5 stars (Teaches you how to think) - Although it would be nice to have everything you needed for a survival situation, that isn't always the case. Davenport's book teaches you how to think through a survival situation and promotes the art of improvising when things go wrong. His book is straight forward--helping the reader identify survival needs while showing a myriad of methods in which to meet them. It is a textbook! One I highly recommend! 3 stars (like a textbook, materials not included) - This is aninformative read on how to survive while apart from all of our societal comforts. The diagrams, while somewhat crude, are helpful in identifying exactly what Davenport is talking about in his descriptions. My largest qualm is that what he writes nearly necessitates being prepared for the unforseen via many of the materials needed for your wilderness survival experience. That being the case, make sure you back a flameless lighter, a lightweight and weather ready sleeping bag (or bivy tent), and some flares instead - it's a lot easier that way. A lot of help is provided in food identification and fuel, but if you've any measure of great sense while lost then you just die to your fears and eat the bugs, right? In any case, it's a quasi-interesting read that reminds you to "be prepared" for the unexpected. 5 stars (Useful and informative) - I've read many wilderness outdoors and survival books for different country (mountain, forest, desert), and Wilderness Survival is one of my all-time favorites, along with Mountaineering The Freedom of the Hills by Don Graydon and The Ultimate Desert Handbook by Mark Johnson (both of which I also highly recommend). ...

5 stars (Just what I was looking for) - I've only had this book for a few days, and I'm very impressed with the depth of coverage this book goes into. It does a great job of covering all the important topics of survival, starting with the basics. It has a nice set of field guides for edible plants in various regions as well as poisonous. It covers trapping and hunting game, and a whole section on knots. Grant it, depending on your level of know how, it may still behoove you to get more in-depth book on some of certain topics. Still this book of course doesn't replace in-depth research a person needs to do for the specific region they plan to hike or hunt or whatever they do. It makes a great reference book! 5 stars (I hope I never need the skills taught in this book.) - However, if I do, I hope that I also have this book with me. It is very comprehensive, and I will keep this in a survival kit so that if I ever am stranded and have the good fortune of being stranded with my survival kit, then I will be able to use this book as a resource. Now that we have seen the havoc mother nature can wreak, as well as manmade disasters, I think that everyone should read this book or one like it in order to have some basic knowledge regarding how to live off the land -- no matter the condition -- and to be found (or not be found, if not being found is more conducive to survival). This is an excellent resource for any person who might find herself in a situation lacking in modern comforts, where knowledge of how to survive means the difference between living and dying. 5 stars (Filled with practical and impractical solutions...) - You know, reading this book, one might get the impression that it was developed by and for crazy war vets who are completely paranoid about getting stranded on a desert island and left for dead. Which is a good thing, because it is filled with invaluable knowledge about making shelter, fire, food, first aid, how to make deadly traps for animals o...

4 stars (Difficult to get lost with this one...) - An excellent book for those starting out on orienteering. Very good conversational wording. Doesn't use too much jargon. The practical exercises are easily understood. The combination of the written word and neat diagrams and pictures make the information easily digestable. 5 stars (Excellent Map and Compass Instruction Book) - The best map and compass handbook I've come across. Excellent photos and illustrations add to simple and straightforward written material to make a great book for use when practicing real-life outdoor navigation. 4 stars (The best resource for beginning or experienced pathfinders) - This book is the best resource on land navigation i've seen. I use it regularly in teaching land navigation in conjunction with search and rescue to area fire departments. The author makes the hard-to-explain easy to understand for beginners and experts alike. ...

5 stars (Very entertaining and a wonderful price tag!) - This book is simply awesome! I am an easily distracted reader and I haven't read a book cover to cover since I was a little kid. This book was so great I read it in less than thirty minutes! Everything you ever wanted to know about extreme survival situtations is included. If it's not, it's probably in another one of the Worst Case Scenario series. 4 stars (Don't Leave Home Without It) - "The indispensable, indestructible guide for surviving life's sudden turns for the worse. Survival experts provide illustrated, step-by-step instructions on what you need to know fast: how to fend off a shark, how to take a punch, how to deliver a baby in a taxicab, how to survive a poisonous snake attack, how to jump from a moving care, how to identify a bomb, how to escape killer bees, how to survive if your parachute fails to open, and dozens of other dire situations." What more could you want? Just don't try this at home. 3 stars (Interesting, but too short and thus overpriced) - Disregarding the probability of your engagement into those life and death scenarios (unless you are Bond or Bourne), the topics are very interesing. Please read the "See sample pages" for a quick look of what those "tips" refer to. However, I have a serious complaint about it. There are only 40 "How to" in this handy book. For the price of it, 40 more should be included. I didnt suppose to pay nearly fifteen bucks for a book which I could finish within an hour. ...

5 stars (Highly Recommend Reading It) - I liked this book very much. Its a no nonsense approach to a topic that many writers pretend they are experts in. The proof is in the pudding. The author is an excellent teacher. He makes a hard subject easy to grasp and understand, versus the many teachers I have had in various subjects, who make an easy topic hard to understand. . . . 5 stars (It kept my ass alive!) - Prior to embarking on a rugged solo day hike in AZ's Superstition Wilderness, I read this book cover to cover. (I'm a middle-aged, East Coast trail hiker who hasn't hiked recently, so survival was a major consideration.) My desert day hike turned into an overnight stay on a canyon ledge far from the trailhead. Thanks to Cody Lundin's book, I maintained a "party on" attitude, was fully prepared (both with equipment and mentally), and spent a fabulous night watching the stars. The right attitude is everything! Enjoyed the humor and common sense approach of his writing. His examples stick with you when you need them. Great tips on putting together a practical, personal survival kit that will work anywhere. There's now one in my pack and one in my car. Lots of useful information on how to overcome fear and keep your head. 4 stars (It's good) - This is a good book that tells you how to stay alive. It also tells about what your body would do in certain situations, and how to prevent the bad situations from happening. Also, it tells you how to make things. It tells you a little about how to clean animals so you can eat them. So, over all I would get this book if you don't know a lot about how to survive, and you want to learn how. ...
