an adventurous read

This book was great, it covered survival techniques for the mountians, sub-zero conditions, the jungle, and the desert. from making a snow cave in Siberia, to collecting water in the Sahara, this book teaches you everything you need to know for survival in some of the most extreme conditions in the world. I would recomend this book to anyone who is interested in survival.

Man Vs. Wild book

I received the book in very fast time. The book was new as described. I will definitely buy from this seller again.

Worth every penny

Very easy to read, catching and useful. Takes you to unimagineable places along with bear.

Excellent guide and read.

When I first opened the cover, I was greeted by a breath-taking picture of Bear crossing a volcanic area. I knew then that this book would be great. There is a tremendous amount of knowledge packed into it with some beautiful pictures and excellent illustrations. Bear guides you through the fundamental survival skills (fire making, natural ways to treat illness, making knots, and more), and to the more specific skills for certain terrain types. There is a lot more information in here that he has yet to reveal in the show. Even you don't watch the show, this book can act as a "Staying Alive in the Wilderness for Newbs" guide and still be useful. This is a great buy and is fun to read thanks to Bear's magnetic personality. I highly recommend this book to anyone who has an interest in the outdoors.

Excellent!

I haven't completely finished reading the book, but I must say that it is very useful and full of wonderful information, provided in an entertaining way. Mr. Grylls enthusiasm in sharing his knowledge is apparent and holds your attention and also helps you to remember his tips (such as figuring out your prioritites in a survial situation - Protection, Rescue, Water, Food, summarized in a helpful mnemonic: Please Remember What's First!). I would definitely recommend this book to anyone with an interest in survival techiniques or who just loves the show Man vs. Wild and Bear Grylls!
