As I grew older I began to expand on this list. This book spells out what everyone should have with them when they leave urban environment, and head out into the countryside. But before you start complaining that you can't carry a whole bunch of stuff with you, this book teaches you how to build a kit This book is a must for pretty much everyone.
But before you start complaining that you can't carry a whole bunch of stuff with you, this book teaches you how to build a kit that will fit into a small lolly tin half the thickness of a packet of cigarettes. No, not nonsense. You can actually carry ALL the items you need for a short term survival situation, in one tiny tin. A tin small enough to fit in your pocket. In all seriousness, I can't stress the importance of this book enough. It's not hard to read, and the items can be easily and cheaply purchased at your local camping or department store.
This is a "revised and expanded" version of the original. The main reason I rated this four stars is it really made me think. The market seems saturated with Survival Manuals and Guides; but the book focuses very tightly on the most basic components needed to get through most situations and how to organize them.

McCann expects that you already now how to use the basics and it you don't he repeat This is a "revised and expanded" version of the original. McCann expects that you already now how to use the basics and it you don't he repeatedly recommends practice and training.

The most elaborate and complete Survival Kit will do you no good if its sitting on a shelf somewhere and not with you when you need it.
It is and handy guide with some good advice and most importantly it offers much food for thought. May 06, Julie rated it it was amazing.
This is the first survival book I've ever read so I don't have anything to compare it to, but it seems very comprehensive and really made me stop and think about how unprepared I am for an emergency. I will definitely be putting together a few kits to have on hand and this book goes very in-depth on the items you should have for a mini, small, medium, and large kit.
I feel like everyone should read this book.

I got this one from the library but I'm going to buy the actual book so I can keep it as a reference. May 21, Ietrio rated it it was amazing Shelves: practical , relevant. I was ready to ridicule the 'perfect' survival kit. After all Summer in Sahara is quite different from Winter in the Himalayas. I was wrong. And the book is quite complete without 'fit-all' solutions.
Feb 10, Alan rated it really liked it. Very excited about this one.
