Hits all the right notes
Conrad Blake walks the reader through all of the necessary equipment. He covers hydration, layers, shelter, getting lost, how to get found..all of the essential tools and techniques necessary for survival in the wilderness. Any serious hiker knows that the difference between life and death in a tough situation is 1% luck and 99% preparation. Mental and physical preparation coupled with knowledge and use of the right equipment. I highly recommend this book to any beginning hiker. Happy hiking!

A great basic hiking guide! It covers all the basics, even going so far as to recommend his favorite brands of equipment! Read this before you go and take his advice!

This is a short, basic but comprehensive guide to the key areas of the topic. There’s nothing here which isn’t readily available on the internet but having it all in one place at a reasonable price as an aide memoire or pre-trip checklist definitely has value.

Easy to understand guide on what to include in survival kit to make it useful and not heavy for the hiking trip. Book contains simple and comprehensive survival tips on land navigation and water purification with images and diagrams.
You can't even imaging how many people go hiking every day without any survival items on them. Don't be silly, this is your life! Every hiker should carry the survival kit and should know these basic survival techniques.

This is an okay pamphlet to read through before planning a hike, but it was pretty basic and could have been condensed down to a short checklist of mostly common-sense items to bring. I'd been hoping for a bit more how-to bushcraft. The ebook is lavishly illustrated with photos of pretty hiking trails, which isn't really very useful - some diagrams would have been nice instead.

This is a good guide for assembling the basic survival kit with recommendations and images. Second edition also contains a lot more detailed info on survival skills
