Nice variety of survival projects and useful information. The book is easy to browse and has plenty of ideas to consider. I gave it four stars because some of the projects could use a little more detail.
A fun and informative book to have around. I like that it focuses on practical projects instead of just general survival advice. There are quite a few things in here that I would like to try.
Interesting collection of projects. Some were more useful to me than others, and I would have liked additional detail for a few of them. Still, there are several good ideas throughout the book.
I really liked this book. There is a great variety of projects, and the instructions are easy enough to follow along with. It is also nice having so many different ideas collected in one place.
Good book with plenty of different projects to explore. I especially liked the sections that focus on practical skills and preparation. A few projects could have had more explanation, but overall I found it useful and enjoyable.
