Here are the REAL lessons learned by folks that weren't trained to survive in the wild, but who had survival situations thrust upon them! Whatever the life crisis; plane crash, boat sinks, avalanche, animal attack, financial disaster, health crisis - here are the rules for SURVIVAL.
Great stories and examples - with the lesson to be learned at each chapters end. Start to use these RULES and you'll avoid survival situations, but if ti happens - FUBAR/SNAFU; you'll be ready; Mentally!!
Book Review: painful to read
Summary: 1 Stars
Deep Survival needs another editor. The poor literary quality makes the book awkward and irritating to read. The author's attempt apply science to survival situations is unconvincing. The author appears to be unqualified and his analysis of each situation is brief and incomplete.Book Review: buh bye

If you read the book and didn't find solid points of practical application.... well, buh bye.Book Review: a must for nature enthusiasts
