Excellent - Especially when combined with the New DVD - By: Rebecca Boo, 22 Nov 2008 
I bought the pocket version of this book already owning the larger copy. As expected, this book is hands down the best available for genuine survival skills. The handy size means I can always keep itin the pack so if I need it it's there. However, one thing I should point out is that I bought this copy AND a copy of the New Trueways Survival Skills with John 'Lofty' Wiseman [Interactive DVD] at the same time. The DVD is simply excellent to accompany the book & actually demonstrate many of the skills & principles on screen. The ability to readin detail about necessary skillsin the book when out & also watch how they're done on screen is priceless. I'd highly recommend both of these products to anyone. 10 out of 10.
Survival is for the fittest, or those who read this book. - By: D. M. York, 05 Apr 2008 This little book could save your life, seriously. Though it is obviously aimed towards people with a predilection towards outdoor pursuits such as hiking, mountain climbing, sailing (etc) it does also make a point of saying that you never know when this information may comein handy. Written by a former member of the SAS, who would be the ultimate authorityin extreme survival, this book is full of practical information on how to survive anywherein the world. It details information like how to find a source of water, or create one yourself, how to treat injuries, how to make a shelter, ways to stave off dehydration, what plant forms are edible. It is a very long list because the book is full of no-nonsense information. If you are interestedin outdoor pursuits this is a book that should definitely be read, or for any other reason this book contains information that could save your life.
SAS Survival - By: Th0r, 26 Jan 2008 For the price this book is well worth the money. It is a reliable guide to survivalin the great out doors. The ammount of knowledge I have accumalated from this small book is amazing. The author, John Wiseman of the SAS greats is enough to make you want to buy it.
Survive- anywhere. - By: "Outdoor" Jack, 18 Jan 2008 No need for a long review here. This book was written by a professional soldier who wasin the SAS, or the Special Air Service. For those notin the know, that's an elite unit of the British Army trained to carry out operationsin ALL parts of the world. Eventually, the author became a survival instructor to the SAS, so you can be sure that this guy knows his stuff.
The book covers all you'd ever want to know about the essentials of survivingin climates such as: the polar region, mountains, seashores, islands, tropical regions, or even at sea. Here's few of the many topics the book covers:
-food, what you can & can't eat
-animal tracking with numerous pics
-color pics of edible plants
-pictures of traps & how to trap things
-how to handle animals you've killed for food
-how to make a camp & various shelters
-knot tying pics
-first aid
-color pics of medicinal plants
-picures of dangerous/poisonous critters
-things to havein a survival kit
A very handy resource for anybody who enjoys outdoor/wilderness activities, it's just a darn good thing to have aroundin case of emergencies- or even just to look at the pictures! Also recommend Treat Your Own Rotator Cuff if you have a shoulder problem that is interfering with your outdoor activities.
