Excellent reading!

True stories written with exciting detail and knowledgeable and logical assessment of how to avoid problems and what to do should you find yourself involved in a dangerous situation. An easy to read book with one true story as engaging as the next! No chapter is without excitement and tips. Even the Introduction is a worthwhile read, which I find unusual. I also enjoyed reading his compliation of true bear stories in Bear Attacks of the Century.
