Reviewed in Australia on 13 February 2021

Verified Purchase

Buyer beware 101... the books on 12x8.5cm... I can't read it... the print is way tooooo small for my 50+ eyes...I wish the size had been made crystal clear in the blurb.... I just didn't expect to get such a small book.

The ultimate, all inclusive, pocket-sized survival guide 👌

First book for my prepper collection and what a way to start it off. Didn't realise I was ordering the pocket size but so glad that's what I got. Perfect size for the bug out bag. Includes everything you need to know to meet survival needs and information that is essential for survival in all corner of the globe. Highly recommend for all levels of prepping.

Compact yet detailed outdoor guide

Bought as a bit of a joke for 13 year old grandson who doesn't like camping but has to go with the family. It's detailed for such a compact book.

Love the size, fits in the side of our hiking bag/trouser pockets so we can take on our hikes and teach our kids about the wilderness and outdoors.

Pocket-sized guide with up-to-date survival information, perfact for when you are locked out of the house and need to build a shelter and eat your garden. The cover is a little different from pictured

Great book

Reviewed in Canada on 11 January 2019

I remember. I remember it like it was yesterday. I was just walking through the town. But if it wasn’t for cop I wouldnt be in this mess. Then next thing I know I’m battling it out in the forest. They tried to stop me but war is all I know. They said it was over! Nothing is over! You don’t just turn it off. It wasn’t my war. They asked me I didn’t ask them! I did what I had to do to win! They drew first blood!

Simply 10/10

Honestly best survival guide I have read, this book includes the basics / essentials along with a large variety other tips. This book, despite it's relatively small size, goes in depth into all topics stated conveniently at the start of the book rather than just steps it offers detailed pictures and great descriptions on what to do and how to do it.

My personal favourite addition to this book is the plants section if fishing or other food sources aren't or temporarily unavailable this section goes deeply into what plants are okay to eat (e.g nutrient rich plants) and poisonous plants to avoid as well as stating how to primarily check if a plant is edible or not.

It shows shelters for all climates and locations as well as tips for creating fire ect, so to put it shortly this book is simply great and I advise anyone experienced or newbie campers or survivalists to buy this book it contains everything

A fun book which may be useful one day.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 12 July 2020

Verified Purchase

Whilst I am a person who really will never need this knowledge it was still a fun purchase to read. It comes in a small form factor so it can be chucked into any backpack for a hiking trip, just in case. The book itself is high quality and contains lots of images to help illustrate its contents. So if your someone who is often in a helicopter which crashes during a hurricane who then has to avoid poisonous animals or(perhaps more realistically) someone who is generally interested in survival, it is a must-have.

and it is a FANTASTIC repository of information

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 30 July 2018

Verified Purchase

I have the oldschool edition of this book, and it is a FANTASTIC repository of information.

Every page is absolutely PACKED with techniques, information, methods, and advice.

This book is an absolutely bombproof piece of equipment, and an ASSET for ANY survival kit. I would say to anyone that if they are building a survival kit or box, to put this book inside - you may have the knowledge needed, but your love ones may not. This book would provide all of the vital information that a person needs to get their foot in the door of survival.

Whether a hobby, or a legitimate misfortune or disaster has occurred - the SAS Survival Guide contains the information needed to save a life.
Great way to get young people interested in the outdoors and survival / bushcraft, too!

It has something for everyone, in every climate.
