Editorial Review:

Amazon.com Review:
Rosehips, rich in vitamin C, will remedy scurvy. Poplar, red cedar, elm, and willow are preferable for friction fires. If stuck on a flat, shelterless desert, dig a shallow pit (east-west) to lie in; even a few feet can result in a 100-degree temperature change. This is the sort of information outdoor enthusiasts will find in Bradford Angier's classic guide to survival in the wilderness. Divided into four parts (sustenance, warmth, orientation, safety), How To Stay Alive in the Woods is packed with woodcraft tips and age-old tricks--and it's packable as well, so don't leave home without it.

Product Description:
Camping enthusiasts, hunters, and even the occasional hiker will benefit from this all-inclusive guide to the woods which offers tips on finding food, water, and shelter, and reveals fascinating secrets of the wilderness.



Customer Reviews
Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - poorly constructed - don't buy this version
We were passing this book around in the days following Christmas when we noticed that the inner back binding was torn. There is no flexure in the spine of the book. My son went home with book that was falling apart.

The other comments regarding the outdated writing are right on the money. Nevertheless, I am going to try and find a paperback version if one exists.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - GREAT BOOK
this was a gift for the son, and he absolutely loves it. Says it has wonderful information, and is just what he had been looking for. He's hoping to do some hiking and all in the great outdoors.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - A must read for all
This book is one that I believe everybody need to have and to own. The seller sent it faster then I could have ever thought, especially considering it was Christmas time. I highly recommend both seller and this book.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Good introduction to survival skills
It is impossible to teach people "How to Stay Alive in The Woods" in one book -- especially one that is as small as this one. But Angier does a very good job of covering some of the fundamentals and pointing you to areas that will later need further study. This is one of the first of many "survival skills" books that I have read and is generally the one that I recommend people read first (that or the "SAS Survival" book by Wiseman, which is also pretty good)

highly recommended ...



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - A little outdated, but contains some solid tips.
First off, it's important for the potential buyer to realize that this book was written in the 1950's.


This is a handy book - if you already have some experience with the out-of-doors. The author assumes some familiarity with roughing it on the part of the reader, and does not give in-depth instructions on some survival skills such as procuring food - making this book less than ideal for the rank beginner. However, there are plenty of valuable tips and skills outlined in this ... Read More
