"i bought a older version that is more compact and portable. i am finding that most survival books are kind of the same, but this one gets a bit more creative with shelters."
"This book is a wonderful resource for those outdoor folks who carry extremely limited gear. It seems to be written for those who want to enter the wilderness without the help of modern equipment. The black-and-white photos and drawings are very informative.
This instructional book shows how to make blankets from bark. hooks and fishing line, and shelters from the surrounding materials. If you are into camping and surviving with little else but a knife, this is the book for you. The Stone Age can return."
"Larry Olsen was the forerunner of survivalist literature. The man is a primitive skills god. Maybe five stars is a little high......think of it more like four stars with an extra star for Robert Redford writing the foreword."
"Larry Olsen is a wilderness guru!! When it comes to making your way in the great outdoors, he has blazed the trail. This book outlines many of his techniques for living off the land. Brilliant and insightful, I wish I had bought a version that wasn't so outdated. The sepia photos were sometimes difficult to decipher, and the message wasn't always clearly conveyed. Spend the extra cash and get a new and complete edition. It'll be worth it!"
