 Rating:  - Great, to-the-point survival manualAwesome purchase. This book's a keeper. It goes straight to the point and tells you what you need to know and do, if ever caught in a survival situation. One downside of the book, in my opinion, is that it does not go into a lot of detail regarding survival situations in environments other than hot deserts and cold temperate areas. The survival kit components that are featured in the book attest to that fact. But overall I love the book because it gives you knowledge you ...

The title refers to the bodies core temperature and thus the book delves deep into the science of how to regulate your body temperature.

The authors knowledge on these subjects is extensive and while you will forget 90% of the statistics you are given you will retain the overall gist of how your body works and what tools to use when in survival mode.

Two things a person needs in order to survive anything, anywhere are: resilience (toughness--which can never be faked) and a sense of humor. Cody Lundin possesses both, along with a sound understanding of what it takes for the human animal to survive in a currently existing environment outside our normal, civilized comfort zone. The book's theme is all about keeping a proper perspective...about yourself and about the situation, meaning, one must be armed with accurate, ...

To show how off track the book is look at the title....All that to tell you this book is about survival. Save your money on this one.

I have been slowly getting back into the outdoors and I have been looking for just a book such as this. In fact I found it by accident while looking at books at REI. This book is a godsend. This book is designed to give you the information to be able to PREPARE for and handle a short term "oh crap" situation. It reads very well and it contains very good and practical ... Read More |
