The US Army Survival Handbook covers just about every survival topic a person might be interested in, especially the pertinent topics.It was written for soldiers, but it will come in handy for anyone interested in camping,hiking,or someone who, having gone camping or hiking, has gotten lost in the wilderness in any climate. You will find in this book everything you need to know about surviving, from how to light a fire without matches or lighter, to surviving after a nuclear,biological,or chemical incident. I recommend this book to anyone who is interested in the topic, because one never knows when it might come in handy. Anyone who has ever watched the television show, I Shouldn't Be Alive,knows that sometimes you just fall into survival situations;your car breaks down in the middle of a deserted desert while on a road trip, or any number of unforeseen possibilities.This book is packed full of good, useful, information should you find yourself in such a situation.
