Summary: why only 3 stars
Comment: I've read all the reviews and I have to add something. While this book has alot of useful information, it doesn't contain every trap method, shelter, edible plants, etc,etc. Tom Brown's style of writing is more of a story telling. To some, this makes the book more interesting but not to everyone. All the stories take up alot of space and is very inefficient way of learning survival skills, much to the point that alot of things are left out and never discussed. This doesn't mean this book is uninformative but it's far from complete.
Rating: 5
Summary: Awesome book - become a survivalist
Comment: I have just started reading this book (I've read about 30 pages so far), and what I like most about it so far I will list below:
1. Diagrams are used to demonstrate constructions of shelters
2. Tom's methodology while writing the book is true to what he says in his introduction - he seeks to impart to the reader a knowledge of survival that does not depend on any modern technologies - his reasoning, I believe, is very well founded - the best survivalist is the one who can survive anything, anywhere, and under any conditions. If you want a book that can teach you invaluable knowledge about how to survive when you least expect you might need to (ie: to be prepared for anything), then get this book.
Rating: 3
Summary: informative but above average.
Comment: Tom brown's field guide is very informative piece of over 250 pages and it makes a good reading but I doubt I could go out in the wilderness and build an effective trap even if I studied the whole thing over and over. Here's the problem, all the stuff is practical but are you going to identify all the plants out in the field or remember how to build shelter just after seeing sketches in this book? NO. This guide lacks real life color photos, that's what you need to be able to recognize stuff out there like different kinds of wood and plants that are crucial to survival. Please don't be misled by people who tell you this book is all you need, Those kind words might get you killed. For a more vital source of outdoor survival I suggest looking somewhere else.
