Great "pocket" guide, Sep 20 2009

This review is from: Gem Sas Survival Guide (Paperback)
Very small but thick packed with tons of info. Great to throw in your backpack for reference on pretty much any survival topic. Way more complete than the U.S. Army survival manual. FYI this SAS survival guide has no military info (ie. evasion, camo, etc.) if you were expecting that. In a survival situation would definitely help you stay alive and signal rescue or walk out if need be.

I like the format I did not realize that the book is small, actually pocket sized. You could actually have this book in a survival kit. I would pull off some pages that are pretty basic. i have to say I ahve not finished reading. Browsed, now going through throughly. Overall worthwhile

This review is from: Gem Sas Survival Guide (Paperback)
This book has an unbelievable amount of information to keep you alive in the wild for it's size. It seems to have all of the info contained in Wiseman's full-sized book, The SAS Survival Manual.It's a great reference for your jacket pocket or backpack; I have given more than a dozen away as gifts.
Listmania!
