Any fool could write a better book over a long weekend,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Advanced Fugitive: Running, Hiding, Surviving And Thriving Forever (Paperback)
There are only three kinds of information in this book. And you don't need to buy this book to get them.#1: facts and ideas that are blindingly obvious and basic common sense. Anyone with a pulse either knows all these things or understands them implicitly. #2: basic outdoor and wildlife information, which is presented haphazardly and not always accurately anyway. There are many respected and credentialed authors who cover these areas superbly. Their work is usually worth paying for. #3: bathos and banality. The observation that cities are big and it's easier to go unnoticed there than in a small town. The observation that people in non-English-speaking countries tend to speak languages other than English. A picture of a deer with the caption pointing out this is a deer. After I got over being mad at myself for buying this book, my family and I laughed ourselves sick as we passed it around and took turns reading the silliest parts. I tip my hat to Mr. Abago for finding a clever way to make money without evidence of any special knowledge, skill, or talent. What a great country we live in!

Pretty Good Stuff, but not 100% perfect,
By A Customer
This review is from: Advanced Fugitive: Running, Hiding, Surviving And Thriving Forever (Paperback)
The book offers some pretty good advice for anyone trying to 'disappear', but it's not perfect either. For example, when referencing hiding in Norway (where I live), the author points out that few people in Norway speak English. In reality, it's hard to find someone in Norway who DOESN'T speak English!

You Need This Book,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Advanced Fugitive: Running, Hiding, Surviving And Thriving Forever (Paperback)
Awesome book, buy both of his books if your thinking about buying this one first. Both are great and hold some interesting ideas and thoughts on hiding and surviving. This isnt a book that is gonna spoon feed you what you need to know, this is a book to make you think what your going to do, and what you could do. No one could write a book about your area and tell you exactly what to do. I read both of his books back to back, they are great! The info in his books are the hard part, but even he tells you that you need to know more and you need to look for the info to fill in the gaps.
Other books that go along good with this one. U.S. Air Force Survival Handbook Survival Poaching Mantrapping If your into this kinda thing, you'll like all these books! Hope this helps someone.
