The Survival Handbook Hardcover – September 13, 2016

Don't get me wrong, this is an excellent book on survival. Unfortunately, however, I duped myself into buying this version with its gimmicky little rectangular frypan thinking it would have some new stuff in it. Actually, it is a 100% carbon copy of Colin Towell's other version of a similar title. If you already have the other version there's no point in getting this one. If you don't have the other one, then by all means get a copy of this version. In my opinion it is one of the best survival manuals on the market today; I reviewed the other version and the same will hold true for this one.

Good little informational book. Will keep it in our emergency pack. We did add a few extra items from ideas in the book

DK publishing is always a reliable source of gorgeous visual design, great info, and fun reading. Bravo.

Surprisingly excellent.

Great book

Good book except the print is too small to read without magnifier glasses which I need to buy a stronger pair for just this book. In a hurry, if I can't find my glasses then the book is useless. A lot of information in small book, but I would have much preferred large book to pack around in my car, or home as reference. Disappointing, even though packaging is cute. A box of single chapters in separate pamphlet form in even larger print for those of us over a half century would be very useful - A mature adult version.

Fantastic book, much better than expected.

when i order i thought it is big size, and in turn i was wrong, it is pocket size, so i decision kept it as it is really very visual and clear information compare to other survival book it is really very good book.when i got it i was dispointted with size, yet it is come suspire package - FREE tin pan, book inside it. which i felt very values to buythumb up :-)one star off because i original thought it is big normal a4 size book

A well presented and thorough survival guide. Good basic bit of knowledge. It's not going to help you survive the Arctic but it's full of useful information about camping survival and information that could be invaluable in an emergency. My husband loves it.

Vital stuff.

Great value for money. Bought as present so not sure of the contents but it looks impressive with the real mess tin included.

Love it!, super handy

My grandson who is 8 absolutely loved this book. Great value and really good condition

Poor quality mess tin, actually cut myself deeply on edge as it's very poorly finished if at all

Amazing book.everything is explained in details with pictures.Good quality pages but the best thing is SIZE.small size ,easily fits in a backpack.(expected a big size book and cant carry that).Got an extra cooking cup for outdoor adventure. just go for it. Please check attached photos. I guess it will be helpful to you. Is it ?

Ein ,,muss man haben’’ Buch für jedermann! Im modernen Zeitalter, in dem fast niemand mehr im Einklang mit der Natur lebt und das notwendige Wissen um in der Natur zu überleben von den wenigsten besessen wird, ist dieses Buch die Rettung. Kompakt genug für jeden noch so kleinen Tagesrucksack! Ganz klare Kaufempfehlung.
