Fantastic read. It's very unlikely that I will need to use the tips given but it was nonetheless very interesting to read. Concise and broad in the topics covered, with pretty much no waffle....this is exactly what a book like this should be like. Highly recommended.

I started off really enjoying this book but soon lost interest. Maybe because I'm not one to intentionally put myself in survival like situations, but I read the first 100 pages. When it came to Bear talking about killing, and trapping animals I couldn't stomach it anymore. There was nothing wrong with the book, and I know in survival mode I'd have to do it, but reading about it made me upset and uncomfortable.

I've always enjoyed Grylls' TV shows and admire his toughness in surviving various situations. I read his earlier published memoir, [b:Mud, Sweat and Tears|10910164|Mud, Sweat and Tears|Bear Grylls|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1348541847s/10910164.jpg|15826367] and looked forward to a book on how to get through events you hope never to experience. He covers the basics, life-or-death situations, medical emergencies and everything in between. Need to land an airplane? It's here. How about escape from quicksand? You're covered. Find yourself in a jungle, desert, or in a snowstorm? No problem, you'll find out what to do to be able to return home.
This is a great book to purchase and keep in the car, or dare I say, the bathroom for episodic reading. Me, I'm keeping mine in the car in case I need to quickly find out what to in case of a "tyre" blowout or brake failure, or if I run into a snowstorm.
Thanks to the publisher for the advance reading copy which included graphics and special notes.

This book was pretty good. It was interesting to learn about many different survival techniques and things to do in an emergency.
