Don't waste your money, there is better books out there., 21 Feb 2009
By Wayne A. Stanfill Jr. "cowdog64" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Rough Guide to Travel Survival (Rough Guide Reference) (Paperback)
After looking the book over concisly, I found not only nothing new here, but most of the info is common sense. You would be better off buying a better book such as "wilderness 911" by Eric A. Weiss M.D. or anything of that caliber. Also Cody Lundin's books are good.
