I saw the issue and picked it up.

The information in the interviews with the Maine Guide, Coastguardsman (Semper P!), and the Air Force SERE instructor seemed to have some solid information, just not in depth. The kit the SERE instructor recommended is strikingly similar to the contents of Doug's PSP - great minds must think alike.

The in depth recommended gear was OK, someone could do a lot worse. I wasn't a fan of the Rambo looking knife that was recommended, nor the signal mirror without a sighting hole, but they did recommend carrying a PLB, which probably makes Doug happy. (Anyone have any experience with that "fill and drink" water filter bottle? Looked like a good idea)

I didn't think the quiz was too bad, not as controversial to me as the Field and Stream quiz last month.

And one of the best parts was the "From the Editor" where he talks about the Kim family and the hope that others will be inspired to become prepared for emergencies from that tragedy.

All in all, a decent issue, and lots of other information on spring gobblers, massively huge bucks, and an elk hunt if that's your thing...
