Practical

Great book for beginners, easy read and easy to understand.

Okay for people with little or no knowledge of bushcraft skills

I dont consider myself a bushcrafter by any means but some of the content talked about in this book, you can easily just read online or even glean from survival shows, like Dual Survival. Still, I think this is a good buy since there is some stuff I didnt know about before this. If youve got more than just a basic knowledge, I'd probably buy his "Advanced Bushcraft" books. UPDATE: I have finished this book & must say I'm disappointed. Dave makes great videos but I guess hes a better speaker than writer. The how-to pictures are lacking. Overall, not one I'd recommend unless you have money to burn. The food recipes at the end are cool tho.
