U.S. Armed Forces Survival Guide by John Boswell is a very good and informing book if you believe one day that you would be a victim to a crashed plane in the middle of no where, or a victim to one of Bear Grylls’ survival scenario, then this is the book for you. I picked this book up and read it; because I believe that one-day I would end up lost either in the woods, or the Yukon. This book was very informative, it told you the reader how to survive, in any condition, in the same way that an American soldier would have trained to survive in that condition, so juts from that you know that this is the real way to survive in bad conditions, and that is why I recommend this book to anyone who wants to know how to survive in any conditions.
