The Wallace Guidebook

How good would you say this is? Which book, of all the ones available, would the one ETS recommends as being the most applicable to most conditions a survivor might reasonable encounter?

I'm trying to carry just one, as opposed to the [I decline to say how many I actually carry on the grounds it will definitely incriminate me as a wussie <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />] I carry now.

No opinions here?

Give people a chance. They're probably still asleep. <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

I don't mean to sound stupid but what is the Wallace guidebook?

I don't think it's anything like this, but that's what pops into my head:

This Wallace's idea of survival preparation: "Don't forget the cheese, Gromit!"

A survival book I stumbled across. That's all.

That's what I was thinking of too!!!

From the description, it sounds like a standard First Aid reference with a couple of survival tips thrown in, rather than a survival manual. I'd probably pass on it. (Though it is pretty cheap.)

My personal preference still is the Collins Gem edition of Lofty Wiseman's SAS Survival Guide; not only is it one of the cheapest, it actually fits in a shirt pocket and so can be carried on you even when you're wearing a suit. (Except that my fiancee insists that you can't carry anything but a pen in the pocket of a dress shirt. <img src="/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" /> )

aardwolfe,

Depends which pocket you're referring to. Also, that's what shoulder bags are for. <img src="/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

YMMV, but in general I find very few "pocket books" fit in a pocket.

I don't wear a shoulder bag when I'm driving or flying; I do (usually) wear a shirt. <img src="/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />
