The SAS Survival Handbook Reviews

John (Lofty) Wiseman served for 26 years with the Special Air Service (SAS) and this book is their complete course; how to survive outdoors, on land or sea, in any weather, in any part of the world. As you might expect it covers all topics in a very practical and informative way, with illustrations to assist. It is the original survival manual and still one of the best. The ultimate instruction manual, but remember only practice makes perfect. This book should be required reading, but its size and weight prevents it from being carried everywhere. Thankfully it is also available in a Collins Gem pocket sized edition.
