5.0 out of 5 stars
Essential camping-travel-survival equipment,
By Chuck Arnold (Bristol) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Collins Gem S.A.S. Survival Guide (Paperback)
This book has to be the best survival guide available aside from the original full-size version, both of which I own and find invaluable. Lofty Wiseman answers all survival questions clearly and thoroughly in this guide, and due to it's compact size (about the same dimentions as my wallet), it has earned a place in my knapsack/ backpack/ carry-on bag anytime I travel. Aside from a knife and matches, this is THE MOST ESSENTIAL piece of survival gear one can own. Highly Recommended!

Compact, informative, ad hoc survival guide,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Collins Gem S.A.S. Survival Guide (Paperback)
There is lots to love about this book: its tiny size, the quality printing and illustrations, and the first-rate outdoor living information throughout. It uses color especially well in the plant and insect identification section. It's loaded with improvisational survival tips. For example, I palm sap from young stalks is an easy source of essential water and sugar; a baited cloth bag can catch eels unattended overnight. One nit: the tome lacks an index, and given it's 380 pages, one is definitely needed. Still, I give it five stars and consider this book essential for any outdoors person.
