Written especially for survivalists and retreaters, this book reveals a totally practical survival program unlike any other. Old Indian secrets and advice on survival medicine, firearms, preserving... This description may be from another edition of this product.
This is one of those books that just has too much practical information to pass by. The author has placed a great deal of information at the readers feet, just reach down and pick it up. Most of the information in this book is old hat to old timers but how many of those are out there. For the rest of us this is a source of information that cannot be ignored. A personal opinion is that this book is one of the ten best for rural or back to basics/survivalist type living. A must have.
An absolute "must have" for the survival library!

As a former US Army Infantry captain...having taught survival techniques, I can tell you that I wouldn't venture into any long term survival situation without completely knowing the details of this book. This should be the Y2K BIBLE. Invaluable info for people who may very well be trapped inside a large urban area. The section on "Roast leg of dog" is not, however, for the faint hearted! Most importantly, this book teaches you that true survival is NOT hunkered down in the woods, chewing on hides and eating raw snake. It shows that true survival must maintain a decent quality of life or life isn't worth it. ALL OF THIS REQUIRES FORESIGHT AND PREPARATION!!! If nothing else...this book shows you how to get ready. As of this writing...the world has: 181 days, 1 hr, 16 min and 33 sec. to GET READY! The best first step is to buy this book!
Great starter book for learning basic survival

The author gave great sugestions on basic survival skills. In the area of food storage he could have gave some more information on extending the life of everyday products and maybe a how to find experation codes. I would have given the book a 5 star but it was missing a few items....for the money, well worth the investment.
