The Wallace Guidebook

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've had posts go un-replied-to for a week. Then everyone jumps in at once. <img src="/images/graemlins/laugh.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="" />
