5.0 out of 5 stars Hopefully not necessary, October 22, 2001

This "survival calendar" gives a good laugh by it's serious, sober descriptions of how to face worst-case scenarios...
I sincerely do hope that I will NOT need the tips - but should I be bitten by a scorpion, need to jump off a train or fight off a shark, I believe I'll have a better chance surviving now than before reading it. The calendar will make a great christmas gift too, though it lacks tips about how to survive Xmas dinner.

I ran across this in a store last November and immediately bought a copy for myself and one to send to a friend. We both love it! For practical purposes, it has nice big writing spaces for the dates and weird survival-related events in some spots. The advice is real, obtained from people who definitely have the practical experience needed to talk about this stuff...most of the situations are HIGHLY unlikely, which is where it gets funny. If you travel to crazy places like I occasionally do, the page about "How to pass a bribe in a foreign country." could be useful. Enjoy!

While I hope I never need to fool a lie detector test or take a punch, it's reassuring to know that I'll be able to if I have to! Now if they could only come up with a "How to survive walking into walls/tripping down stairs/over curbs/etc. because you can't get your nose out of a book" I'd be set! An absolute must have!
