This could be called how to buy a camping experience. No real outdoorsy info, with a few exceptions. This is kind of a novelty book, not a resource.

I read the book How to Live in the Woods by Sam Martin and Christian Casucci. By reading the title you can probably figure out what it is about. This book is about survival tips, tricks, and strategies of being out in the wilderness. I was drawn to the book because of title and cover. I was intrigued by the content of the book because of all the basics it covered on making your stay in the wild most pleasurable. I liked that it showed pictures and examples to help better understand the instructions on how to build fires based on the climate, purify and store water, build different long term and short term shelters, and plants that are safe to eat and filled with nutrients.
I thought this was a very informational and interesting book to read. I would recommend this book to someone who know’s their stuff about being in the wilderness because there is always something you can learn. I would also recommend it to someone that wants to know more about how to be safe in the wild or someone that wants to go out of their comfort zone and explore nature in its most natural state.

I really liked it. The building instructions were helpful, if not intimidating.
