I'll likely buy it but I'll keep my fingers crossed. I've bought several survival books in the last year and I have to admit that after the first 2, my oppinions on the rest were one of 2 reactions. I'd either yawn as the same information was repeated as it was in the first books or I'd laugh because the author things a jar of honey is all the first aid one needs for survival.

On rare occation there is good advice to be had but I haven't decided if a page or two of wisdom is worth buying a whole book for...especially since books can't teach you nearly as much as just doing it can.

I agree. I have yet to find a survival book that say, "Don't bathe cats." Learning that took real world experience.
