Both Interesting and useful - highly recommended

Reviewed in the United States on February 18, 2006

Wilderness Survival is a valuable source of information on woodland survival techniques. Like most books on this subject, he covers shelter, acquisition of water, food, fire building and signaling to search and rescue personnel. A significant bonus is the excellent section on land navigation included by Davenport. The illustrations are nothing to write home about, but still quite clear and effective. This book includes a surprising amount of good information considering how little time it takes to read. One reviewer criticized the book because the material was "almost word for word from about 10 different books I own". From my perspective, any single book that provides the information of 10 is worth owning.

Reveiw to replace poor review which was a mistake.

I received this book on time, I did not think I had it because I had ordered 13 books and it did not say that I received it, it now says shipped and I have it. I wrote another review which was a poor one and this is to replace the other review.

There's things in this book that everybody could learn from! I was amazed at all the information in this book and would recommend it to anyone wanting to learn to survive in the woods by themselves. Even my son read some of it and said he learned some new things so I'm very glad I ordered it!

Well written and nicely illustrated. I like the very practical philosophy and practices promoted. Nice size. Not too big and not too small.

A quick and easy to read book on outdoor survival.

Reviewed in the United States on October 14, 2001

I would say that this book tends to lean towards one finding themselves in an unprepared survival situation. It does not have an endless list of items to have when going into the wilderness. This book is a must for even those that are prepared seeing it will give knowledge to add to your survival package. This book is easy, simple, and quick. The chapter on land navigation is an added extra and again simple. I also enjoyed trapping wild game. The universal edibility test on plants was new to me and valuable. However, I felt Mr. Davenport could have been more informative on listing edible plants. The characteristics of plants to avoid is good information and new to me as well. The section on water procurement is excellent! The more I read this book the better I like it. I will find a book on edible plants to compliment this book. I would recommend this book highly and read it until you know it by heart!
