For those who want to understand how some people have survived what appears the impossible. This book is filled with fascinating stories of survival and tragedy. Even by doing everything right and having luck on your side you may still perish conversely doing everything wrong and having no luck you may survive. Sure it's a carp shoot but doing and understanding some basic tenants will give you much better odds of survival and that maybe the difference between living and dying.
This book takes a very practical approach to analysing what people who survived have done "right", including overcoming the feeling of being a "victim" and just getting on with surviving. With most of us living in urban areas these days we tend to forget the power of nature and the fact that it always wins against the insignificance of mankind. It is a pity that so many of us are not learning lessons that nature is trying to teach us.
A really worthwhile read and recommended to anyone wh...more
