I love to read this book when I have any free time.
Former Special Forces senior instructor in SERE (Survival-Evasion-Resistence-Escape) and lifelong hunter/fisherman. No fluff in Steve's book, just solid core of skills and survival thinking. I have a large survival reference library/collection and proudly added this excellent book to it. Print is easy to read and covers durable. Inex makes finding specific topics easy. I like the well thought out lists and that Steve names products and brands to use.
My favorite trucker reading this on the road
My wife bought me this last year for Christmas and I just had the time to finish it. Steve has a way of writing that makes flipping through the pages smooth like a beer with the boys. Thank you for all the tips and gear tips!
It's amazing the amount of information this book can provide for you.
