[Irene Baron · Rating 5 out of 5]

In writing the adventure/thriller series, MINDREACHER, I have bought and studied many survival books. This book has to be the best one of all the others. What I appreciated was the way it was divided into land, water, etc. sections. I found details about skills "mentioned" in other books. If I go anyplace, this book will be in my backpack or carryon. Advice concerning survival packs will be followed. I'll make several to keep in the cars we drive and for backpack/emergency kits in case of a natural or other type of disaster. I highly recommend anyone wanting to know how to survive in many environments, including the ocean, buy this book. A 174 pages, it's small enough to fit into any pack. We all need this book in our working library! Irene Baron
