This is one of the most comprehensive survival books we have reviewed.  The U.S. Army has put together an excellent manual for survival skills, and attitude.  The opening chapters talk about being prepared. The book discusses the use of survival kits and provides some lists. While the lists are not all inclusive, they do offer a good start. The book has great suggestions in almost every climate a person would find themselves trapped.  This book offers an advantage over other books by covering weapons manufacturing, raft building, and team work in survival situations. The last part of the book also covers the requirements for defense against dirty bombs and radiation fall out.

While this does not directly fit in with CCW and shooting it does follow our philosophy at Carryconcealed.net in planning and preparation.  Following some of the preparation ideas in this book could help bring any one home from the hunting, camping or a family outing.

The staff at Carryconcealed.net gives this book 4 out of 5 stars and should be used to fill in where other survival books fall short.

The book can be purchased at Amazon.com for about $4.95 and up.
