Many of the situations are very likely, others are probably not at all likely for most people.

I found the suggestions to be occasionally interesting, but often they were incomplete and inadequate for example, "get to a hospital" was a continuous suggestion.

An example of an inadequate suggestion: they said that if you are dying of thirst that you can drink your own urine, as long as you filter it. But there were no instructions as to what to filter it with and what is considered a good filter. And what exactly is supposed to be filtered out that is bad?

If the ammonia, then how? And, if I found the suggestions to be occasionally interesting, but often they were incomplete and inadequate for example, "get to a hospital" was a continuous suggestion. And, if I am in the ocean, can I use my clothes as a filter? Most of the suggestions were like this: incomplete enough to be useless to somebody like me who does not know anything at all about survival techniques.

However, there were some very unique solutions like: make waterproof matches; judging where a tornado is heading; how to catch a squirrel for dinner; and how to build a outlet safe.

This is the kind of book I would actually buy because it's a reference that you shouldn't read through in one sitting, but refer to over and over to refresh and reassess your knowledge. Truly varied in the situations it covers, it is a useful resource not only for Boy Scouts and outdoorsy folks, but for anyone who realizes that our way of life is a fragile network that can be thrown out of whack with one flat tire, and maybe we should have a backup plan for stuff that can come up, even if it doe This is the kind of book I would actually buy because it's a reference that you shouldn't read through in one sitting, but refer to over and over to refresh and reassess your knowledge.

A beautifully written, illustrated and bound book on a series of over emergency situations and how to survive them. Most of the survival strategies seem well thought out. My big problem would be to remember what the book provided as a solution. I likely would not have the book or time to look up in the book, the solution. None the less it is a lot of fun to read. And certainly recommended for those interested in survival ideas.

Learn to store it , filter and purify it , harvest rainwater , and if possible, secure your own renewable source of water, such as a well or a reliable source of topwater.
