Excellent book that discusses everything from frostbite to dehydration. Learn how to find water, trap animals, prepare foods, navigate, make fire, and treat snake bites. This is an indispensible companian to anyone spending any amout of time in the backcountry.

5.0 out of 5 stars Worth it 15 years ago, February 22, 2002
By Henry C. Jackson "hank jackson" (Durham, NC United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I purchased this book in hardback... over 15 years ago. At the time, I was very interested in outdoor survival. Of the 15 to 30 books I read on the subject, this one was the most clear and practical. It addressed many facets of the wilderness survival with out a lot of jargon. The author focuses mainly on low tech solutions to survival situations, but gives some suggestions of more technology-based solutions as well. An example would be including Chapstick in a survival kit for its morale value and low cost in weight. It covers the basics of survival in any environment and then branches out to specific details for each environment. It covers much practical information, but also includes detailed information about where to learn survival skills, other survival books and what is covered in them and addresses for suppliers of equipment.
