Wilderness Survival
Do you have what it takes?
You’re alone in the wilderness with nothing but a knife and the clothes on your back. Will you survive? Do you have the skills to feed, clothe, and protect yourself? Mark Elbroch, a master tracker, and Mike Pewtherer, a woodland skills educator, put those questions to the test when they embarked on a 46-day, unprovisioned, unequipped journey into the dense wilderness of the northeastern United States.
Wilderness Survival is their highly practical and uniquely observant introduction to survival in the deep woods. Mark and Mike tested generally accepted truths, questioned conventional solutions, and distilled the best techniques for making fire, obtaining shelter, finding water, and hunting with primitive weapons. They give you:
• A life-saving handbook of survival skills that explores man's place in the natural world
• The secret to surviving in the wilderness as part of nature—not its adversary
• Explanations of more than 30 wilderness survival skills, including hunting and gathering food, fashioning tools, and preserving and storing food

Great intro!
I really enjoyed this. Mostly very good explanations of some survival techniques well-placed among the story of his summer in the woods in New England. This is not a comprehensive handbook, but a very nice, easy to read, introduction. Some of...

Worth reading!
I highly reccomend this book. Some have said the title is misleading and that the book isn't about survival, but what is the most important part of survival? Attitude! And this book helps you to think about that attitude and what it means. The...

Putting it all Together
I very much enjoyed this book. The simple description is that it's a journal of a few guys who wanted to put all the individual skills of survival together and see how they fared. The skills section is not a list of every survival skill, but a...

Wilderness Survival or Shame?
The title is what made me order this book. I wanted to hone my own survival skills that I'd gathered over the years, and the context of a story rather than a guide was quit appealing. Unfortunately what I found was of little value. I must say the...

Good Philosophy - Not so Good Advice
This book should be read more for its musings on man's place in modern society and his relationship to the land. In this sense the first-person accounts are very good and unique to this style of writing -- one does wonder what it would be like to...
