3.0 out of 5 stars Great for the basics but no details, December 6, 1998

It's a great book if you are looking for a small compact book with the basics but there isn't any detials. I was expecting some detailed information on edible plants and survival techniques. I like the fact that it's made from plastic so if it gets wet, it won't hurt it.

If your looking for a step by step guide go else where. If your looking for a pocket sized referance to jog the memory in a panic confused situation this is it. Tabed to help find topics. Solid laminated pages to protect it from weather; and my children. Large printing so broaken or lost glases aren't as much of a problem. And oh yes, informitave, with lots of diagrams to back up the info. The check list is compleat and helpfull and eveything I can think of is covered. I am defietly getting the rest of the series.
