An invaluble source of forgotten skills, a hidden treasure.
It is sad to see a work of this type go out of print. These are skills that with every passing day become that much fainter in our memory. These are the skills that once were required just to get through the day. Todayit is the rare individual that can master any of these forgotten arts. Thiswonderful book helps keep us in touch with where we came from and wheresome day we may be again. Knowledge is power, even primitive knowledge. ... Read more

Too little information to be of significant value
"Wilderness Survival" is well written and an excellent book to motivate you to study further (and the author encourages this frequently), but as an instruction manual it is severely limited.Though you can't expect in-depth coverage of many different topics in a book so small, the author fails to cover any single topic adequately.She does provide a list of emergency equipment that would likely be helpful to those unaccustomed to wilderness environments, but overall the book doesn't provide sufficient information to justify its purchase.

A Good Basic Introduction
This is a surprisingly useful book for being so small.Suzanne Swedo has over twenty years of experience as a teacher of outdoor survival skills.It shows.Read more
