"This book is great. It was published in 1981, so there are current publications that have current issues. But I like this one because it has wonderful how-to's if I decided to move to the mountains of New Mexico with my husband and play hermit. It's a survival guide for the city runaway."
"Every time I see this book at my parent's house, I pick it up. There's something about the depth of the material here, the insane level of illustration, that draws me to this book. My father has kept this book to hand for decades. He is the only person I know who's had the opportunity to apply a fraction of the knowledge contained in this tome.
This book explains how to do everything the old-fashioned way - and I do mean everything. You have to have held this book in your hands to get it. If a nuclear bomb went off I'd have this book in my shelter - heck, I could probably use it as a shelter."
