Adira ao LibraryThing para descobrir se irá gostar deste livro. Ainda não há conversas na Discussão sobre este livro. Field guides aren't exactly page turners, but I rate this one highly for two reasons. First, it's especially concise and practical. It would be worthy as the one book to grab for any unknown scenario. Second, the personal stories at the end of each chapter are engaging and bring a realism to all the practical know how. I originally read this book to enhance my knowledge of survival techniques that were implemented by famous mountaineers and explorers, specifically Shackleton. There were quite a few helpful hints about survival in the elements, and interesting first hand accounts of different explorers and adventurers. The only point of contention I must address is the lack of flow in the work. There are certain chapters and sections that feel disjointed. Other than that, a truly interesting read that is worth perusal. sem críticas | adicionar uma crítica

The book divides the techniques by region. Take going to sea for example. You should know where you are going, and how to identify edible fish and so on. It is also essential to secure a source of potable water. Throughout the book are stories of survival against all odds. These narrative accounts are really inspiring and interesting. It even contains information on how to prepare for Natural Disasters. Say a Tornado is bearing down on your house. Well, in that case, it would probably be too late to read this book, but there is a section on what to do. ( )
