Editorial Review:

Product Description:
When survival is the name of the game, it's the inner aboriginal in each of us - the human spirit of resourcefulness and self-reliance that has allowed man to survive through the ages - that comes to the rescue. This inner abo-man needs just a bit of nudging, and a bit of knowledge, to emerge and prevail. This book provides information about civic emergencies, wilderness survival, home management, auto repair, food storage and health. The principles Joseph Bigley teaches are simple, proven approaches to managing your own life.



Customer Reviews
Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Sorry.
I'm truly sorry about the two star rating as I found "Aboman" to be a character and a likable sort. However, the book isn't about the character and had the author left out the references and, please, also the photo's which really detracted from the seriousness of the issues it could have gotten 3 stars. Mr. Bigley's book attempts to cover both "contemporary" and "primitive" skills and, for me, misses the mark on both. I would liken this book to those by the McPherson's which also doesn't do the title ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - More than just a "survival" manual.
Joe "Aboman" Bigley has compiled a complete resource for survival in almost all conditions. Many people associate the term "survival" with strictly wilderness related skills and in today's world that can lead to trouble. Today civil emergencies are a reality and Mr. Bigley comes to the front to address these situations. Covering subjects like understanding electricity and basic automobile repair this book brings home the fact that the key to survival, in all situations, is self-reliance. I have given ...

Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Aboman didn't own a car
This book covers "civic emergencies, wilderness survival, home management, auto repair, food storage and health". I find it odd that the text has been listed under a wilderness survival heading. At only 144 pages its wilderness survival focus is too terse to be compared to books of this genre.

If you are looking for books on wilderness survival and want FOCUS in your text, try reading the US Army Survival Manual.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - A Book About Life Skills
Through unfortunate overuse the word "survival" has been diluted into a cliche. You can get divorce, tax audit, and college "survival" guides, as well as a lot of untried and fantasy information from armchair survivalists. Joe Bigley (known to his associates as "Aboman") has placed the term back in it's rightful niche -- the means of preserving your life. While the book does contain much information on emergency and wilderness survival, it is also a guide on how to assume responsibility for your own ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Excellent read!
I try to keep up with survival books as they come out. When I scanned this one I knew I had to have it. It is a great read and covers a lot of material I had not read before. Mr. Bigley is a very skilled writer and outdoorsman and it shows!

Highly recommended!
