Title: NOT the survival book for you!!
Review: This book is NOT the one you should pick, regardless of your background. For the inexperienced suburban/urban wilderness lover, it has some outdated info and simply isn't that useful without any pictures. For the more experienced survivalist, the packaging alone will be enough to turn you off (a bit too "Martha Stewart meets the woods"), not to mention the overly-simplified approach it takes to basic survivalist skills. As someone who has spent time on a mountain rescue crew, I can attest to the role books such as this play in getting people WAY over the heads in the great outdoors. If you insist on getting a survival manual, keep looking.
