An informative and entertaining guide, but perhaps not the most practical resource for one who is actually stranded. I learned a little about poisonous plants—not enough to know for certain whether what I find is safe, but enough to be concerned should I ever find myself foraging. I suppose, in a way, that's an asset, too: it showed me how vast was my ignorance of many plants. It made me aware of the multitudinous variety of many of them, and it taught me caution. Of greater value was the chapter on how to build shelters; the different guidelines were divided according to region (shelters from the snow, the desert heat, etc.), and that was quite useful. This was a great introduction to life in the great outdoors, and fun to read, but I'm glad that I was looking for entertainment more than immediate assistance.

I will say this book is interesting, and it is definitely written for beginners who find themselves lost and needing to forage to survive. There are some typos in the ebook I read, but it does not detract from the overall content. Readers will learn which plants are edible and which to avoid. The author gives instructions on building shelters, how to find water, how to make fire, and how to deal with wild animals. In one really interesting and detailed chapter is the Edible Test. You will want to pay close attention to it. After reading this short but informative book, I have come to several conclusions. Nature and I are not compatible. I will get my produce from the supermarket and maybe a farmers’ market. I still haven’t decided about my neighbor’s garden produce. I am staying on concrete, blacktop, and wooden walkways when I do venture out. My water will be from own filtered tap or bottled. And I’m not going to be out long enough to need a shelter or fire. And I will keep an eye on my fully charged cell phone, and the minute it goes down to two bars, I’m turning around. Still, this book was entertaining, and I’m glad I read it.
