3.0 out of 5 stars Interesting material but not survival oriented, 21 Jan 1999

By A Customer

An interesting book on how to live in the wilderness, but the book does not place enough emphasis on the survival mentality. For instance, the sections on fire and water, which echo information that can be found in any respectable survival manual, are very useful, while the sections on shelter and food contain methods which are too elaborate and time/energy consuming to be useful to anyone in an actual survival situation. The book also lacks any information on the main goal of survival: GETTING OUT ALIVE. A section on signaling and navigation would really improve the book's value as a survival text.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not very useful!, 4 Jan 1999

By A Customer

This book really isn't very useful, especially for anyone living outside the southwestern desert. Mr. Olsen wrote the outdoor survival merit badge requirements for the boy scouts, and this is indicative of how the book reads. Most of the information is nice to know and even interesting at times, but it gets silly at points and is more historical in nature than anything. This book might be a good read for those interested in how people survived off the land in the distant past, but offers nothing in terms of modern survival skills. I believe that anyone interested in actually surviving in the wilderness would be better off looking elsewhere. I was disappointed.

5.0 out of 5 stars A very good survival book., 6 Nov 1998

By A Customer

If you are strapped naked in the wild and ten thousand miles away from civilization, Larry's book will show you how to survive with the tools that mother nature has given us. Good pictures and layout. A great piece of work. I highly recommend it.
