I bought the book and have looked through it. It is not really a page turner. It is more of: what item or kit am I interested in at the moment. It is the only book I have seen specifically on Survival Kits. It is interesting to read different web sites and see what items are common and what are different. This book had just about all the ideas you will see in any web site compiled into a book. I like it!

My biggest beef is that I don?t agree with many of the items he shows in his kits. For example if you look at the compasses in the different kits they keep changing. Most people need a good base plate compass and a good pocket compass. I also hate the Starflash signal mirror. I gave mine to one of my sons. The glass ones are so much better. The only good plastic signal mirror I have used is the Ritter PSP mirror. The hooded Space Blanket is too small to make a shelter you can lie down in and be protected. The regular HD Space Blanket is barley large enough.

Clearly a lot of research went into this book and it is well worth owning and reading. <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
