This is a fantastic book.  I want to try some of the stuff I've learned here regarding surviving in the bush during my summer hiking trips.  Hopefully it is out of curiosity and not out of necessity due to an emergency!  Now, why did I buy this?  We live in a very, very fragile society.  Most people do not know this but grocery stores only have about 3-days worth of food stocked on their shelves meaning that if those semi-truck and trains were to stop coming just about every town in the good old U.S.A. would be out of food after a 3-day weekend.  This book gives some tips on how to survive in the bush, very true, but it also teaches one how to simply survive.  Something that nearly all American's have forgotten how to do with our everyday reliance on Starbucks, McDonalds, and Walmart.

Highly recommended for anyone that goes rough country extended hiking and camping (real camping not that RV "stuff"), hunting, and/or just wants to be prepared if the lights go out.  :)
