Excellent Resource I really appreciated this book as a resource. What's more, we used it in an advanced wilderness survival course at Arizona State University. Yes, there is some information that feels incomplete and a couple of ideas that need to be modified for practicality (ex. digging a still in the desert). However, as a general resource, its excellent, simple, easy to use, and full of information. As with all survival skills, they should be tested and learned in a non-emergency/ non-survival situation before expecting to depend on them.
