I read this book and love it very much. I got it out of the Public Library but probably could be bought. It is easy, entertaining reading, and a good survival story, even if the guy was not really prepared. I don't know if everything is true, but you will gain some good confirmation on the need to have a minimal survival kit ALWAYS with you specially if you plan to visit some wild places. I would love to hear from anybody that read the book and his/hers commentaries.
