365 Essential Survival Skills: Knowledge That Will… by Creek Stewart
Creek Stewart is an innovative survival expert and this collection of ideas include many of his ideas, including the amazing cigar roll fire starter. Great resource on a variety of interrelated topics. Not a point-by-point survival guide but invaluable for the outdoorsman or prepper who wants to focus on individual tasks to build your bush skillset.
I'm not exactly sure why this type of book caught my eye in the library. But is was interesting to look into the survivalist mindset. Be prepared as the Boy Scout motto states!
A must-read for preppers. Some really impressive improvisations using everyday objects, either in advance or scattered among trash you would come across in the bush. Other books promise "survival hacks." Forget them...this delivers, big time. You won't believe some of the ideas like the one Stewart came up with and showed on Fat Guys in the Woods: fire-starting with a tampon and ashes. .
This book was very helpful in offering suggestions and quick tips to create a more effecient bug out bag. There are lots of helpful tables and charts for reading a bag for 1, 2, 3, or more people in a family. The book is divided up into succinct chapters starting with the most top priority: water. The thing I liked about this book was the authors commitment to realistic planning and situations. He doesn't get bogged down in rants or conspiracy theories, it's just plain and simple info.
My only gripe is that the book is written with the assumption that the reader has never slept outdoors before in a wilderness setting. A lot of the advice is fairly basic stuff: don't wear cotton, layer up for warmth, carry dehydrated food to decrease weight. The best advice comes in the logistical areas for how to carry enough gear for you and a toddler for 3 days. That is not an easy task so it was interesting to learn what others have done. Stewart's ranch sounds cool and I would consider visiting it for some of his bush craft classes if we lived closer.… (more)
