Good introduction to survival skills - [10 Nov 2008]
It is impossible to teach people "How to Stay Alive in The Woods" in one book -- especially one that is as small as this one. But Angier does a very good job of covering some of the fundamentals and pointing you to areas that will later need further study...

A little outdated, but contains some solid tips. - [06 Oct 2008]
First off, it's important for the potential buyer to realize that this book was written in the 1950's. This is a handy book - if you already have some experience with the out-of-doors. The author assumes some familiarity with roughing it on the part of...

A fun and handsome book to have around, great to read through or just occaisionally reference. - [08 Sep 2007]

This is a great book - [09 Jan 2007]
I really enjoyed this book. Yes, it is a little outdated, but the ideas are just as valid today. This is written by a writer who lived off the land and knew exactly how to survive in situations that others would give up on. The fact that this was written...
