Lots of info on everything from hunting, ballistics, survival, boating, fishing to first aid. Very worthwhile buy. Wish it had more on tracking game but overall it is very complete.

Concise, no-nonsense information for outdoor enthusiasts

This book offers a veritable wealth of information for hunters, campers, fishermen and others who spend recreation time in the outdoors. I've used it to identify types of fish, to know how to build a fire in the rain, and to prepare food for overnight hikes. I'd give it 5 stars if it hadn't suggested one thing I consider very poor judgement--using prairie dogs as targets for practice. As a hunter and fisherman, I NEVER would take even a prairie dog's life needlessly... try a few clay pigeons instead.
