Anyone else have this book among their survival book collection???? I most informative piece of work. Lots of ideas, concepts, and a list of material, and learning resources in back( & Ron & Karen's videos ARE in the resources list, and ARE RECOMMENDED!!!)

Quite a good book to suppliment the videos series. Plus, it has some tidbit that fill in those "murky gray areas" about kit that you feel ashamed to ask in public!!

I got mine at Borders Books on RT38 in near the Mount Laurel/Mount Holly border. But you can get/order it at any fine book store!!!

havent bought it yet but alot of cool people i know have recommended it so far.

I had sent an email to Doug quite some time back asking him to put this book on his list. I never heard anything back and it never appeared on the list either.

I have a copy of this book and find it to be a good helpful book. Strongly recommend it!
