 Reality at its best August 3, 2004

Excellent book on survival. I am glad someone finally divides "SURVIVAL" from "Wilderness Living Skills" I would venture to say that most people that provide bad reviews of this book are looking for texts in Wilderness Living Skills. There are other books for that. I use 98.6 for a text book in our Search and Rescue Team training. In reality most victims succumb to hypothermia in survival situations other than trying to catch fish with a shoe string and a safety pin. It is reality at its best, presented in a humorous fashion.

I just got back from spending some time with Cody and others out in Arizona at a primative skills gathering and picked up his book there. I attended a class he taught and my wife attended two others. I read his book on the way back home and found it to be a refreshing presentation on a age old problem, survival. Now I am picking out what things must stay in my survival kit and what must go. Living in the middle of the country it is hard to not pick up at least some of the items at "the evil Store" luckily I still wear shoes so they don't stop me at the door. Party On Cody
 Terrible book October 15, 2003

This book was a complete waste of my money. Way too much philosophy and theory on why/how the body gets hypothermic and so on with hardly any skills on how to survive. The author's ego was a little too much at times as well. Can't believe he rattled on for hundreds of pages to the point of utter redundancy. Not to mention the sexist drawings of buxom women which were offensive. Ridiculous book!

There are hundreds of survival books out there. HEY - Buy them all but read this one 1st. Its Fun loving , but no nonsense approach to that first 78 hour of a crisis is great. As a outdoor skills trainer and all around outdoor knock about , I'm going to steal a lot of the advice in this book. Well it won't be stealing cuz I know it all anyway. Get this Book!!!!!!!

I had high hopes for this book but was very dismayed after reading it. Despite the author's attempt at over-the-top humor and cute buzzwords, much of the information seems derivative like it was cut and pasted from other survival books I've read before. Having worked as a lead instructor for many years for NOLS (National Outdoor Leadership School), I was rather disappointed to see another book that will fill the reader with bad information. I would recommend Davenport's books on survival or any by Ray Mears- both of whom have real-life experience with the skills they write about.
