Do you need to get away from the pressures of the world and the gaze of Big Brother for a while? Do you plan to live or work in a remote area where you need to be able to take care of yourself?

You don't have to be 'on the run' to benefit from this unique survival book: it includes skills you can use every day in your real life. Whether you are heading into the woods for evasion purposes or just a little relaxation, you should know what this manual can teach you about survival medicine, emergency caching, communications, food and water procurement and storage, counter/anti-tracking and the psychological aspects of being alone in the back country, among other things.

Learning the skills taught in this book can keep you alive for as long as you need to be in the wilderness.

The knowledge of a skilled woodsman,
By Ron Hood (Garden Valley, ID USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Wilderness Evasion: A Guide to Hiding Out and Eluding Pursuit in Remote Areas (Paperback)
Mick Chesbro really knows his stuff. I think I have the skills to know. I've been teaching survival for over 30 years and when I tied into this book I settled in to learn some new things and new ways of looking at old information. Mick writes in an easy-to-read style that is without pretension. When he decribes a technique it is as if you are seeing the technique. This is not some worn out re-write of a military manual. This is a down to earth manual dealing with an essential skill.I have most of Micks books and everyone of them has changed my viewpoint in some way. Once YOU start reading his works you too will be like me... anxiously waiting for the next in his series. Great work Mick! Ron Hood

Great stuff!!,
By aboman "aboman" (Tendoy, Idaho) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Wilderness Evasion: A Guide to Hiding Out and Eluding Pursuit in Remote Areas (Paperback)
As a life-long student of survival and self reliance, I greeted "Wilderness Evasion" with particular interest. Most books treat wilderness survival within the context of getting found; this one takes the opposite tack of "getting lost," --and staying healthy and free in the process.But you don't have to be an outlaw or a misanthrope to benefit from this guide. As Mick explains in the introduction entitled Why Would Anyone Want to Hide Out in the Wilderness, the information is for everyone. To quote from page 2: "For people who regularly spend time in the wilderness or who live in remote areas, wilderness evasion can serve as a means of self protection. It takes little effort to find reports...of hikers being mugged or campers being abducted from their campsites." I might add that this information could be even more important for those who only occasionally get out into the wild, and are therefore are even on less familiar ground. Eighteen chapters cover such topics as shelter, food, fire, and navigation, as well as camouflage, primitive weapons, caches, and resupply. I found Mick's chapters on survival medicine and communications to be particularly well done. Both are exellent stand-alone primers on these two essential topics for those who would be self reliant. I particularly liked Mick's advice for putting together an emergency kit, which he dubs The GOOD Kit. A more pleasing (at least to me) sobriquet for the well known B.O.B., the GOOD Kit lists items essential for any emergency situation. Mick Chesbro has a real winner with "Wilderness Evasion." Based on lessons learned during his career with the US Army, "Wilderness Evasion" offers sound advice for anyone interesed in wilderness survival or self reliance. It is a great addition to everyone's outdoor library. My recommendation: Buy this book!

Long term survival,

This review is from: Wilderness Evasion: A Guide to Hiding Out and Eluding Pursuit in Remote Areas (Paperback)
This book is really about long term wilderness survival. There is a section on evasion but the author suggests you should be where no one is looking rather than one step ahead of pursuers, and the book discussed surviving in 'the middle of nowhere'. This book is well written, full of information, and an enjoyable read.
