I enjoy learning critical skills that this book offers. The parts with radiation exposure and successful survival of those factors make it apparent that this book covers even the nitty gritty you won't find in your everyday Ranger Manual. These skills will help you to survive to fight another day.

Certain portions though, need to be addressed. The medical portion, covering the ABC's, is outdated. More recent pubs address better ways of blood loss, airway, and circulation. Also, the book is simplistic to a fault. Certain portions could use a more detailed analysis.

Aside from those, I thought the book was great! I will be using this book for years to come.

This book will definitely help out if I ever get lost in the woods. The price is nice, and I could not complain about all of the information I have learned from this book. Will be reading a second time to highlight the most important tips.

The content is ok, the formatting is terrible. Nested lists are not indented correctly, not all line breaks are in the right place.

Military manual. Explains some basic, but no advanced techniques in the area of survival in a war zone. Good begining manual for preppers who have never served in the military.

The only thing that can save one in a survival situation is knowledge. This book provides all of that knowledge and more. The only thing left is seat time.
