Bought as a gift for a family member. It was well liked. I would purchase again for a child gift.

Purchased this for my survivalist son. He skimmed it and cackled often. He said it would make a good bathroom read.

This book is easy to read and has lots of good info, including things you'd never think of learning: perform a tracheotomy, land a plane/survive a crash, wildfire, animal attack, snake bite, preserve food, treat wounds, build a sailboat/canoe, even remove your own appendix. I bought it for my 3 grandsons [all under 12] who just moved 20 miles from the Canadian border, IN BEAR COUNTRY. I've lived, fished & hunted for 50 years in Alaska, Pacific NW, and Bigfoot Country, CA, but my city-born family will need extra help when they're barbecuing salmon in their 10 acre backyard. This book is great for teaching kids how to act/survive on their own, for people who hike, bike, surf, swim, sail, golf, fly, scale mountains, or just go outside. It's also good for people who like to stay home. They can learn how to put out a fire, or break down a door. ;)

Fun read. Enthusiastic writing. Cute entries

Bill O’Neill (aka Trivia Bill) never ceases to amaze! He has enhanced our knowledge of the world with his many books on all sports trivia, unexplained mysteries, interesting stories, Hollywood secrets, the CIA, little known facts about WW I & II, the Civil War, and the Korean and Vietnam wars, inventions, many countries and states, rock and roll, the Titanic, decades of madness, famous ‘badass’ figures of history, and more and more. Now he steps up with a Survival Guide – hardly trivial! - but just as interesting and informed and accessible as his other very popular books. Reading this book is akin to having a personal guardian who just appears when things get strange or tough, bits of info that can avert potential disasters, such as extinguishing a fire (and building a fire!), surviving a night on a mountain, fixing a broken bone or sterilize a wound or restart a heart, making a tourniquet, gutting and cleaning a fish, surviving a meteor crash, making a life preserver, a slingshot, a makeshift canoe, hot wiring an engine, surviving an earthquake or snow storm or wildfire, how to escape from zip ties or a straightjacket, how to pick a lock or smash a window or land a plane – the list goes on and on with 127 topics well described in Bill’s user friendly technique. As the world grows crazier by the day, with natural and man-made crises, this little handbook belongs in everyone’s hip pocket – or purse – or backpack – or glove compartment…Very Highly Recommended!!!!!

I have this to my nephew for his birthday & he laughed excitedly when he read the title. He started reading it immediately.

Short and to the point, easy to understand, solutions to dire situations in the wild. Interesting for 8 year old boys and old ladies alike.

Nice paperback book. Gave as gift to 11 year old grandson. I did review the contents before gifting it… Has some tips on outdoor survival. Not as humorous as I thought it would be.

A lot of safety and first aid tips. Ended up buying one for each daughter.

Well received by my grandson on his 16th birthday

But it definitely is informative…good book for reading while on the toilet!

Bought for my teenage son but my brother in his 40’s loved it equally! - some good tips written in a comical way but fab

This book provides a lot of interesting information that one would never think of enquiring about. Bill O'Neill scores again.
