review 1: The book that I read was The Total Outdoorsman Manual by T.EDWARD NICKENS and the editor of FIELD AND STREAM. This book is about survival skills in Camping, Fishing, Hunting and Survival. One interesting skill that I learned is how to make a fire in pouring rain. My favorite part of the book is the whole thing because it was all about the wilderness and learned some technics that I didn’t know before like how to eat road kill. I think the author’s purpose was to teach both young and older people different survival technics that can help you in all most any situation. This book can get you out of almost any tough situation that your in. I could easily connect with this book because it talked a lot about the woods and I’m always in the woods practicing ... moredifferent technics. In this book I learned how to make waterproof matches, and eat road kill. I would defiantly recommend this book to any one how is interested in the wilderness and want’s to learn more about them or joust wants to learn a few technics that can save your life.
review 2: The book is divided into four sections: Camping, Fishing, Hunting & Survival. As someone not living in North America who hasn't fished in a decade and is never likely to take up hunting except in a survival situation the middle two (and by far the larger) sections were of interest but not relevance to me personally. This book is not a how-to guide but rather a collection of tips and techniques so this is a book you read in addition to other resources, and to further your expertise in these areas. Whilst I say much of the book was not of relevance to me and my activities, it was an enjoyable read with great illustrations and some humour. I learned new skills & got some ideas that were unique to this book that I haven't found in other texts and felt it was definitely a worthwhile purchase. less
