"A fun reference with lots of practical advice for survival in various situations. I liked the scope of the book, which ranged from detailed instructions on how to land a plane and cross a river infested with piranhas. It had a fun humor to it as well, with advice on how to ditch a meeting at work and still get credit for being there, how to escape from the trunk of a car, and how to find out the name of someone you wake up next to after drinking too much. All directions were very specific. For example on the how to land a plane section, step 1 was remove the unconscious or dead pilot from the seat.
"It's hard to think back to a time when this book was novel- there have been so many spin offs the wit is still easily overlooked. Great to think back to the first time reading it in a bookstore and being amazed that info about how to escape a crocodile could be in a book. Ten years from now this will be a fun read again."
"Random, I know. Someone at work left this in the "Free" box and I decided it looked interesting so I grabbed it. It contains a bunch of little sections with illustrations, bullet point explanations, and explanatory paragraphs about a variety of things such as "How to Break Down a Door", "How to Land a Plane", "How to Leap from a Motorcycle to a Car", and (if that fails) "How to Jump from a Moving Car". You know, every-day practical kinds of things. Obviously I hope I would never have to use any of these, but you never know. And I think probably the better benefit of reading it is that while you may never get into any of these specific situations, it shows you how to approach those kinds of things and what you need to think about. It's like experience: experience isn't necessarily helpful because you're going to get into that exact same situation over and over, it's helpful because you can apply what you learned from different situations into your current one. I think I'll actually throw this book into my glove box. After all, you never know when you might need to know "How to Identify a Bomb" or "How to Perform a Fast 180 Degree Turn with your Car""
"great book creates solutions for troubling scenarios. The trouble is after a while a casual read just gets a person confused about whether to play dead or run for an aligator or a puma. A person should really read it twice, and then review info based on the locale you will be going to. Gives advice for minimum survival gear, and what handy things to do with materials you might have on your person in case of a bus rollover, etc."
