The complete guide to living in the wild from the ultimate survival expert
Product Description
In this essential guide to living wild, Bear Grylls reveals the secrets of his years of fieldcraft experience. This is the information you really need to know about living in the field from the man who has passed 21 SAS selection, climbed Everest and survived in some of the most inhospitable regions on Earth. In his inimitable style, Bear has thrown out everything that's boring about scouting and fieldcraft and concentrated only on what's exciting, inspirational and a little bit edgy.
It's all here, from mastering the art of making the perfect campfire and constructing the best camp, to navigating safely through all terrains in all weathers - with or without a map...The only other thing you'll need is this book!

Refreshing to read and with excellent, easy to follow illustrations, this book covers a wide range of topics around survival, scouting and bushcraft. I especially enjoyed the chapters on nutrition, fitness, and healthy living which aren't typically covered in other books on the subject. Do you find Born Survivor and the likes a little extreme? This book is not only written for the full-time, hardcore, tactical survivalist. It has a quite "friendly" tone to it and will appear to a wide audience in my opinion.

OK, you've watched the TV series and you've seen this guy put some pretty disgusting things in his mouth. You've watched him eat, drink and puke things that you would never consider trying alongside leaving you with very little desire to go to any of the places Bear has been.
What appears in this book is however a lot more friendly. It deals with everything from respecting your environment to giving you good survival tips alongside solid information on the basics from the setting up of camp to the preparation of a fire. It's a good solid book and one that I'll definitely be reading from cover to cover a few times before embarking on my next camping trip. If you want something different this year for that survival fan or just something for that adventurous person in your life then this will certainly hit the spot. Just make sure that they have a good supply of food beforehand as lets face it "doing a bear" will become part of the English language before long for eating something disgusting.

After having watched the series and falling in love with this man's work I decided to buy this book. It goes into complete detail about all survival techniques, skills and tips to increase your chance of survival. I have read it twice and half way through my third time already. This truly was a fantastic buy.

Average Survival Title - Nowhere Near As Good As I expected....
I was so disappointed with Bear Gryll's book (not to mention the way he is the greater threat to most wild animals) that I rid myself of it. Read more
