Recommended January 7, 2009
I am totally satisfied with this excellent little guide.
It describes and illustrates most of the survival techniques, methods and tools, I have seen on Ray Mears and other similar TV programmes. I am particuarly pleased with the sections on fire making, knots, knife and axe sharpening.
Comprising 384 pages, it contains a large number of informative black and white diagrams, includes several pages with colour illustations and can still fit comfortably into a breast pocket.
If you want a comprehensive, take anywhere, survival guide, dont hesitate - buy this.
Its unbeatable value for the price.

SAS Survival Guide: How to Survive Anywhere, on Land or at Sea (Collins GEM)
This is a must have book,small enough to go in pocket/handbag and take with you anywhere.
Pictures,graphics and text are plain and simple,down to earth,written by
someone who knows his stuff.
I travel a lot and this book will be with me all the time,both here and worldwide.
Well done John Wiseman.
Excellent - Especially when combined with the New DVD November 22, 2008
I bought the pocket version of this book already owning the larger copy. As expected, this book is hands down the best available for genuine survival skills. The handy size means I can always keep it in the pack so if I need it it's there. However, one thing I should point out is that I bought this copy AND a copy of the New Trueways Survival Skills with John 'Lofty' Wiseman [Interactive DVD] at the same time. The DVD is simply excellent to accompany the book and actually demonstrate many of the skills and principles on screen. The ability to read in detail about necessary skills in the book when out and also watch how they're done on screen is priceless. I'd highly recommend both of these products to anyone. 10 out of 10.
Survival is for the fittest, or those who read this book. April 5, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
This little book could save your life, seriously. Though it is obviously aimed towards people with a predilection towards outdoor pursuits such as hiking, mountain climbing, sailing (etc) it does also make a point of saying that you never know when this information may come in handy. Written by a former member of the SAS, who would be the ultimate authority in extreme survival, this book is full of practical information on how to survive anywhere in the world. It details information like how to find a source of water, or create one yourself, how to treat injuries, how to make a shelter, ways to stave off dehydration, what plant forms are edible. It is a very long list because the book is full of no-nonsense information. If you are interested in outdoor pursuits this is a book that should definitely be read, or for any other reason this book contains information that could save your life.

For the price this book is well worth the money. It is a reliable guide to survival in the great out doors. The ammount of knowledge I have accumalated from this small book is amazing. The author, John Wiseman of the SAS greats is enough to make you want to buy it.
