I gave this to my 13 yr old son for christmas and my husband gave him some rope to go with it. My son spent an afternoon mastering knots, absorbing survival tricks and taking in Bear Gryll's wisdom. We don't miss an episode of his shows and this book is one that my son will keep forever, no matter how old he gets.

Somewhere between coffee table book and survival manual,
By C. Thompson "cthompson012" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Man Vs Wild (Hardcover)
First off. I am a big fan of Bear Grylls. I watch his show regularly, and I have read about his climb to the top of Everest. With that said, this book left me a little disappointed. It does have a lot of information in it and glossy pictures but it lacks the nitty gritty info of other survival manuals. For instance; I did not find a list of basic items that should be carried in the bush. Also, the fire making section doesn't really touch on how to use the flint and steel used by Bear in his show. I guess if you are a fan of the show Man vs Wild then this is a good accompaniment. But, if you are looking for a good survival skills book this isn't it.

Just a coffee table book,
By R. Chicago "R. Chicago" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Man Vs Wild (Hardcover)
I'm a big fan of Bear Grylls and the Man Vs. Wild series. That said, this is an interesting read, nice pictures, but it's not much more than a picture album for the Man Vs. Wild series. It makes a very interesting coffee table book. But if you're looking for a true survival manual, look elsewhere (The SAS Survival Handbook is excellent). "The Kid Who Climbed Everest: The Incredible Story of a 23-Year-Old's Summit of Mt. Everest" is also a book by Bear Grylls and is very good.

Excellent!,
By A. Mandrell "Lalena" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Man Vs Wild (Hardcover)
I haven't completely finished reading the book, but I must say that it is very useful and full of wonderful information, provided in an entertaining way. Mr. Grylls enthusiasm in sharing his knowledge is apparent and holds your attention and also helps you to remember his tips (such as figuring out your prioritites in a survial situation - Protection, Rescue, Water, Food, summarized in a helpful mnemonic: Please Remember What's First!). I would definitely recommend this book to anyone with an interest in survival techiniques or who just loves the show Man vs. Wild and Bear Grylls!
