I agree with the person above....

This book explains in detail all aspects of survival and helps you to understand with real life anecdotes. One of the books that never seems to end. Highly reccomended....it's a small price to pay...

This is a must read if you are a beginner or expert.

This author seperates fiction from facts about survival. He provides captivating real stories about survival situations in all the arenas of the world. What people did right and what they did wrong. Above or below water, desert or desert island, jungle, mountains, snow and ice, look here for expert advice covering major threats, hostile environments, science and survival. The author is a physician and well known author in his native France, where this book was a bestseller.
