Handy pocketguide

An excellent and handy pocketguide to survival, Ray Mears puts his knowledge in this book and it shows. The info is at hand, practical and easy to read. Remember the old question, what book would you take with you to a deserted island? Well... this is the one.

Roughin it up? Read this one first.

The book is very focused, informative and explained. It could have a chapter on GPS, but we get it with the GPS so its ok not to have it here. And using a compas is explained. On the plant food, the chapter could have been clearer. But the chapter on survival in the wilderness is indispensable.

I loved this book! It was the most useful book ever!

I have read many books and this is the first one I have ever really found useful! I find this book to be a huge use for outdoor survival!

An excellent skills book for beginners and old hands alike.

This was the first of Rays books I bought.It is an exceelent collection of how to themes and skills to learn and use. Brilliant for Scouts and Leaders alike, as well as any other woodsman. Highly Recommended.
