Title: Where's the beef?
Product review: Deep Survival is a book that retells stories of survivors in the wilderness, and in doing so attempts to teach the common denominator in a person's mental preparation that enabled the individual to survive. The book's focus seems to be placed on mental preparation and mindset to the exclusion of other skills, such as how to stay alive in the wilderness or to plan ahead in case of trouble - a big omission to my way of thinking. So, what are the big buck secrets of Deep Survival? This is the sum total of what I learned from it: Stay calm, don't take risks without measuring possible risk/benefit, and don't be macho when your life is on the line. That's it. I didn't really need a whole book to learn that, but your experience may be better than mine. Me, I think Stephen King's character Red said it a lot more succinctly: 'Get busy livin', or get busy dyin..'
