101 Skills You Need to Survive in the Woods: The Most Effective Wilderness Know-How on Fire-Making, Knife Work, Navigation, Shelter, Food and More Kindle Edition

Not a bad book for practical knowledge and progression, but I was bothered by a few things. I am a realist with a twist of pessimist. Sure, there is a section on knots, but no good illustrations on how to tie the knots are provided - just a picture of the final knot. However, I far more troubled by the incorrect scientific information mentioned. Notably, the chemistry of fire triangle and the physics of air currents were incorrect. Even worse, aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid) is derived from the salicylic acid found in willow bark, but the author says acetaminophen (a.k.a. Tylenol) is. The mention of the taste of oxalic acid made me cringe a little as it is the harmful when ingested chemical found in rhubarb leaves.This book does not make the top 10 in my library section on survival.

( I am no expert, and this is just my opinion on something) (I'm confident in my skill set but you can never have enough knowledge) I'm an avid woodsman and spend as much time as possible in nature. Received this in mail last night. So far I can tell this is above the rest of the "survival" books. I haven't read much yet but the basis for this surpasses the others because well this isn't a gimmick book. This isn't a zombie apocalypse nuclear fallout extreme situation book. This is no nonsense knowledge. From survival in emergencies to just a great understanding of the woods and "bushcraft" this isn't pushing a certain pace, gear, a pre made kit like most do. Thank you @estelawilded for this great piece of work. Nothing beats knowledge gotta keep things sharp in the brain as well as blade. 🍻. So in this I highly suggest this book. Even if you are confident in your skill set and have been a woods tramper for your whole life it's always good to refresh and learn new ways for you to do things. Safe journeys and remember it's one thing to know but another to do get out and practice

Many survival books don't discuss the most important factor, the mindset. Kevin does a phenomenal job delving into this before he presents any skills. The book is also color coded to make it easy to reference the section/skill you are looking for. This is a MUST HAVE for any outdoorsman's library

Before you go, everything in this book is helpful to know.Perfect gift for the outdoor enthusiast looking to pack less and adventure more efficiently. Perfect for the Cub Scout leader looking to inspire kids for the future. Perfect for the guy, standing at the wood line, wondering what all happens when you step off the edge of the lawn and into the deep woodsBuy this book for yourself, someone you love, or your local library. Get it into everyone’s hands so that they may enjoy the outdoors more fully and have the confidence to bring someone else along with them in order to share the fun!

This guide has excellent visuals and the author is very articulate in his delivery of this valuable information. I’m completely blown away and enjoyed every minute reading it. The words WORLD CLASS and REFERENCE STANDARD come to mind and describe this book perfectly. Perfect gift to buy for those you care about.To the author: Thank you for taking the time to do this!!

Mr. Estella does a superb job of covering all the critical elements and then some with great tips for beginners and experts alike. From knife work to first aid, even to the often forgotten need for light discipline at night, the contents of this book could save your life. The book is an easy, accessible read and very well illustrated. Definitely keep handy for everything from a day hike to a days' long camping expedition.

Nice book, good clear explanations with photos. Actually field tested information unlike a lot of other books on this subject. If you are getting one book on this subject this is the one to get.

Amazing book and a good read. Broken down into sections that make sense. This author lives what he teaches and presents the material in a way that the average person can accomplish everything in the text

This book is full of what I think is common knowledge, if you have read at least one survival book before. He talks about a lot of things but no real in-depth explanations. Tells you what knots to use when tying up your tarp but no explanation on how to tie them. Not the book I would want to carry with me in a survival situation. Good for fire starter I suppose.

O livro pretende trazer "todas" as técnicas de sobrevivência; várias das escolhas são diferentes das que eu faria (your mileage may vary), algumas das descrições são muito superficiais e o texto é ruim -- o sujito escreve MAL. Os livros do Dave Canterbury são melhores.

Awesome book, purchased after listening to the author on a podcast, would happily of paid more for this wealth of knowledge, great to read and also have on hand for when you need it.

Interesting

Great read. Excellent info covering all the bases of outdoor adventure.
