Book arrived in terrible condition, first two chapters unreadable

I ordered a "good" copy, so was expecting some wear and tear. The book I received has extensive water damage to the point the first two chapters are glued together, the pages can't be separated without ripping. At least I hope its only water, because it also has a strange red/brown staining along the bottom and spine and smells kind of off. What I can read of the book seems extremely informative and helpful, but frankly the book is filthy and gross to hold.

The Complete Wilderness Training Book

I did not mind the used condition, What I wasn't happy about is that there was writing in it. So I cannot gift it & I can't return it. Because it is under $15.00.

This IS survival

This is the best survival handbook for quick referance. If you want to take 5 minutes trying to look up one paragragh, The U.S. Army survival handbook is for you. Otherwise, this is an excellent training book. I plan to try to live in the woods for about a couple months. This really helped me prepare. I already tried when I was young. But I came back crying after a week and a half. Now I plan to stay longer, beacause of this. This book includes all the basics of survival. I'm sure there are more detailed ones, but they don't have the basics. This is not really good for a reading book, but it is good for reaserch, as well as training. If you want a good book to live off of the land,this is for you.

Indespensible

This book is written by someone who really knows how to survive. McManners gives detailed information on the most basic survival techniques and shows the reader how to live in the wild. Being compact, it will remain in my pack as I travel.

A great book for the person who wants to survive

This book was a great souce of information including great illistrations on all sorts of important matters ranging from emergency first aid to what to wear and pack. I was humored but greatfull for the section on how to find, and eat insects in a survival situation. Besides being a good book for the camping family, it could be very resourcefull in the event that Y2K problems such as power and water loss occur.

Excellent Source Book for Survival in Wilderness

This book is very good in that it shows exactly how to survive in the wild with illustrations, not just words. In fact, the book is full of illustrations covering everything from lashing to building shelters to catching fish--and more, showing exactly how it's done with illustrations and photographs along the way.

A top-notch book by a highly qualified author.

This book is magnificent. The author's credentials, always the most important factor, are excellent.The book is loaded with fascinating and indispensable survival techniques. It should be in the library of both beginning and advanced outdoorsmen
