The Upper East Side metrosexual may be good at cocktail chat, but a real man knows how to fight off alligators, create a tourniquet out of a t-shirt, and rescue a drowning person. Frank Miniter's The Ultimate Man's Survival Guide shows men how to do all of these and more, including:
* how to fight off a bear
* how to set a dislocated joint
* how to pick the perfect cigar and bottle of wine

Presented in seven sections--survivor, provider, athlete, hero, romantic, cultured man, and philosopher--Miniter teaches guys the skills, attitudes, and philosophies they need to be the ultimate man. Clearly written and packed with real-life anecdotes, as well as line-drawings and how-to illustrations, The Ultimate Man's Survival Guide teaches men that any guy can be the ultimate man whether he is rescuing a lost hiker, plucking a child from a swift stream, or standing up against injustice.

About the Author

Frank Miniter has floated the Amazon, run with the bulls of Pamplona, hunted everything from bear in Russia to elk with the Apache to kudu in the Kalahari, and he has fly-fished everywhere from Alaska’s Kenai to Scotland’s River Spey to Japan’s freestone streams. Along the way he was taught to box by Floyd Patterson, spelunked into Pompey’s Cave, climbed everywhere from New York’s Gunks to the Rockies, and studied Kenkojuku Karate with Sensei Masakazu Takahashi. He graduated from the oldest private military academy in the United States, a place that still teaches honor and old-school gentlemanly conduct. He believes that American men need this book because too many have forgotten—or never been taught—the gentleman’s code of honor.

He is the author of several books, including the bestselling Ultimate Man’s Survival Guide and The Politically Incorrect Guide to Hunting, has won numerous awards for his outdoors and conservation writing, and has contributed articles to Forbes, National Review, The Washington Times, The Washington Examiner, Foxnews.com, and many other outlets. He was a senior editor at Outdoor Life magazine and an executive editor at American Hunter magazine. Currently, he is editor in chief of the NRA’s political magazine, America’s 1st Freedom.

A well done book... for my son should anything ever happen to me

Reviewed in the United States on November 22, 2012

Verified Purchase

I loved my dad more than anything else in this world... but looking back at what he taught me as a boy and what was not taught... i wish i had this book when i was 21 years old.

This is a good book and covers so many different topics about what it means to not just be a man but what it means to be a decent human as well as a gentleman.

I feel that there was much more that could have been covered in this book but that doesn't mean i'm not totally pleased.

I got this book for my son. Should something happen to me someday before i can teach him how to shave, how to shoot, how to open a door for a lady and how to play poker, amongst so many other things covered in this book... he will have this book as a reference.

As mentioned earlier... i wish i had a book like this back when i was 21 for i remember how hard it was trying to learn how to tie my tie in front of a mirror... something i should have been taught as a boy/young teen.

I do feel that many of the topci's covered could have had far more detail/depth devoted to them, so again, i think this book falls a bit short... but to date... it's still one of the best references to becomming a man, that i have found.

I am open to thoughts and recommendations for other titles.

Thanks!

Tongue firmly in cheek

Reviewed in the United States on February 21, 2014

This book is a survival guide, but the you must keep your tongue firmly in your cheek when reading it. By that I mean that while it is enjoyable and does have a lot of good information, there are also some bits of information that are more for fun. It is overall a great read.

I use Amazon for most of my purchases and update my reviews if anything changes with the products. I do this so other Amazon users can get a real feel for the life of the product. You can look at my review which will be close to my purchase date and tell how the product is doing as time passes. I am not associated with any company and all opinions are my very own.

Great read good information

Reviewed in the United States on April 29, 2020

Verified Purchase

I am not going to be running with the bulls in Spain. I am too old and the wife won't let me. This book contains things that used to be passed down from father to son or by other male relatives to boy. That is something that has sorely been lost in our society. It is not a total how to be a man book but gives information to build and aspire to. Any o 18 year old, boy or girl, would do well to read this book and keep it in their library. It is an easy read and a great introduction to a good many topics.

Great read for all us guys

Reviewed in the United States on July 11, 2013

Verified Purchase

Takes a couple of hours to read. Though I felt I knew a great deal of the information in the book already, it still kept me turning the pages. The most important part of the book.... Men need to take back our right to be men. We've been hoodwinked into believing we have to be something we're not. Don't be ashamed to be a man. Show some class. Be respectful. Dress better, and don't think we have to be so in touch with our feelings, that you begin to look and act like one of the girls. I personally don't want to be a woman. I'm proud to be me... a man. Very well written book. I highly recommend it.

How-to: tie a windsor, fight an alligator, mix a drink. . .

Reviewed in the United States on July 13, 2009

Verified Purchase

Being a man/gentleman means knowing enough about a host of things to give a fellow confidence and thus enable him to navigate both the physical and cultural worlds. Please don't neglect the Introduction; this one really is an introduction. Each entry is a page or so long, concise, often pithy, and always on point and entertaining. Yes, I'm a woman and I read it. Wouldn't it be nice to know the husband/sons/brothers in your life could hunt and dress a deer, wasn't wearing a clip-on tie, and could dine with the Queen and not embarrass himself or the Queen? And, what if there's not a man around? What if the only guy around is like postman Claven on Cheers, i.e. clueless? As a woman, it helps to be able to spot even the slightly-Clavens in a crowd, especially when someone is being chased by a bear.

Father to son

Reviewed in the United States on December 28, 2011

Verified Purchase

I bought this book as a Xmas gift for my 2 sons. Lets hope some of what is in this book rubs off on them. Part how-to and part philosophical dissertation. For instance, Miniter tells/shows how to tie various knots he thinks a man should know, but then he goes on to explain why (in his philosphy) a man should know them.

If you want your son(s) to grow up into the kind of men I hope my sons will be; capable, without arrogance or cruelty, they could do worse than to read this book.

Great read

Reviewed in the United States on January 7, 2014

Verified Purchase

this book is very well written and I like the content. I recommend it to all teens who have not had a strong father figure in their life. What's in the book contains a lot that my father taught me and some that he didn't. The military finished the job. I don't agree with everything in the text; however, lots of young men could learn a thing or two about being a man in this book.
