Be Prepared! Time-tested advice on emergency preparedness. An official publication of the Boy Scouts of America! Each year hundreds of outdoor enthusiasts find themselves in an unexpected outdoor emergency. They get lost, injured, or stranded. Cut off from the rest of the world, they have to depend upon their survival skills to survive. For most people, thanks to modern communications such as cell phones, satellite messengers, and personal locator beacons (PLB), it is merely a sobering two- or three-hour adventure. However, for some who did not take the proper precautions before they left home or do not have survival skills, it can end in tragedy. J. Wayne Fears uses his Army and Air Force training to make sure that everyone in the outdoors remembers the Boy Scout motto “Be Prepared.” His practical advice offers help with: How to build a fire How to purify water How to identify common edible plants and mushrooms How to signal for help How to build simple shelters Practical navigation skills And so much more! Since 1910, the Boy Scouts of America has helped build the future leaders of this country by combining educational activities and lifelong values with fun. The BSA is committed to training youth in responsible citizenship, character development, and self-reliance through participation in a wide range of outdoor activities.

This is what you need to survive. Excellent purchase!
This is seriously the most helpful survival book I have read... and I have a survival gear addiction.Helpful, informative, instructions easy to read and implement.The book itself is well made and I love the protective metal edges. It makes putting it into a pack easy and won’t damage the book.

A very useful book
This is a very good book for those who have not been scouts. The material was mostly covered in the Boy Scout's handbook , and is very good for those who are outdoor oriented.

Safety first and you will enjoy nature more!
Very helpful and important to those who live the wilderness and want to be prepared. BSA is certainly and informed and a reliable source.

Safely Survive the Boondocks.
I spent 34 years as a Scout and Scouter, attaining the rank of Eagle with Bronze Palm. For the last 50 years I have lived at the base of both the Manzano and Sandia Mtns. in New Mexico. With our Urban Society Search and Rescue are continually being called out for those that need help. This is an easy read for those that should prepare them selves. I also served as a US Marine prior to that. ProspectorPablo

Good Book
My kids are not big into reading. I bought this and just stuck in the back seat of the truck. I've noticed them reading it quite often when we are driving around town. They have enjoyed it. Good stuff in here too. My boys are 11 and 13 and have been in Scouts since Tigers.

For people lost while hiking
This is a very good book, but since it is specifically for people who go hiking, get lost and need to survive, I didn’t get everything I was looking for. I don’t get lost or take long hikes into the wilderness, I’m worried more about SHTF with current situation world wide.

Very disappointed!
I ordered a new book and received a used book. The front cover is wrinkled and there is a girl's handwritten email address in the back of the book

Buy a real up to date survival book
This is an updated edition but they’re old grainy photos and looks poor quality inside.
