Disappointing Read,
By John Willis (Mar Vista, CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Wilderness Survival (Paperback)
I was given this book a few months ago by my brother. I have read many survival books and this one is definitely not on my top 10 list. The illustrations look like the author copied them from other survival books I own or off of the internet. The content is almost word for word from about 10 different books I own. I would not waste my money on this book. If you are interested in "Wilderness Survival" I would recommend buying "Outdoor Survival Skills" by Larry Dean Olson instead.

Useful and informative,

This review is from: Wilderness Survival (Paperback)
I've read many wilderness outdoors and survival books for different country (mountain, forest, desert), and Wilderness Survival is one of my all-time favorites, along with Mountaineering The Freedom of the Hills by Don Graydon and The Ultimate Desert Handbook by Mark Johnson (both of which I also highly recommend).

Clear and Concise,
By A Customer
This review is from: Wilderness Survival (Paperback)
I am very impressed with Davenport's book. It covers the essentials (he lists five) of survival without adding a bunch of stuff you don't need to know. I carry it in my backpack as a reference. Mr. Davenport has also written an excellent book on primitive survival skills called "Wilderness Living" and has a series of books out under the series title "Greg Davenport's Books for the Wilderness." I like his clear and concise writing style and his basic approach to survival in the various global climates. I urge all those who explore the wilderness to pick up his books. All of them.
