I was REALLY looking forward to the delivery of this book, as it appeared to be a very well put together survival manual from an "expert" in the field.... Disappointed! The author writes very amateurish, and much of his advice is common sense and not very profound for someone with his experience. The pictures aren't very useful or interesting, more like they were only put there as fluff... But most of all, THE EDITING WAS ATROCIOUS. Quite possibly the worst I have ever come across in a modern book! I would look elsewhere for a useful Survival handbook

Informative in becoming aware that danger from many elements could be just around the corner.

Be totally aware and prepared.

Useful information even if never needed!

If your phone battery is getting low while in use, you might want to try pressing the keys *3370#; this sometimes releases the battery reserve, but does not work on every phone.

Eton Scorpion offers an excellent combined radio, flashlight, and cell phone battery (Combined Wind-Up and Solar-Powered Radio / Flashlight / Cell Phone Charger).
