This book is filled with all the knowledge you'll need to be able to live through a zombie apocalypse.  Some of the information I found a little on the common sense side (maybe it's just me), but nothing in there seemed like bad advice to me.  When the zombies come clawing at your walls, make sure you've read this.  It could save your life.

Whether you are a survivalist or you just want to know how basic survival commodities are made this is the book for you.  These days it is not as easy to get your hands on many of the raw materials discussed in this book (like hunting wild game to skin, eat and make soap and leather) but if you were out in a really wild area this could save your life! There is a lot of step by step how to detail and it is just interesting to find out how things used to be done. Making soap for example is quite a process and usually in the old days they made enough to last for months! Also, who knows how to tan leather? Buy the book and find out! Want to make a log cabin ... it's in there.

Talk about being stuck in a place where you do not have anything with you to keep you alive. Unlike in movies where the survivor still has some things with him/her that can sustain them until rescuers arrive.

This book gives us tips on what to do to survive in the reality of being stuck in the wilderness. More like being boy scouts and girls scouts when camping sans the tools that they use.  It gives relevant tips and strategies on which plants are safe to eat, fishes that are safe and easy to catch, how to send an SMS message and so much more! Think of cave man lifestyle. LOL. I think thats the best way to train us from surviving in the wilderness.  I highly recommend this to everyone! Should you be stuck somewhere, you sure will survive with all the knowledge this book has given you!

To be fair, much to the surprise of most folks, we live in the safest time in history (on an individual level - health care, nutrition, disease, feudal conflicts, highwaymen, Norse invaders, conscription into the Crusades, and on and on). Most of the scenarios in any SA or preparedness book will never happen to 99.99...% (blah, blah) of the population. Except, car jacking and mugging maybe...? Home invasion? Getting locked out of your house or car? Whatever.

You *could* go to elite weapons training, join an MMA gym, and become an expert in guerrilla tactics and spy tradecraft, and become the baddest mamba-jamba walkin', and never really need to read this book ... as an alternative, you could follow some simple instructions in this book, maintain situational awareness and avoid 99% of the 0.000001% chances you have of needing them, without having to dedicate your life to being Rambo. I think a few folks misinterpreted the meaning and purpose of this book. It says "secrets that can save your life", not "I promise to turn you into Rambo".  It's accessible, easy to follow, easy to read section at a time, and once explained, easy to congeal the points into Tic-Tac sized rules of thumb you just keep in the back of your mind at all times.  Avoid trouble first ... then fall back on statistically (and common sense-wise) successful reactions to troubling situations.  You'll still be scared, but at least you'll have a plan...you'll have forethought on your side.  It doesn't take much to "not freeze in your tracks and catch a bullet" when all you had to do was duck behind something or evade without delay.

In all, this is a highly accessible book that doesn't stretch the imagination too far.  If you think back within the past several years, you'll note that almost all situations described (and addressed with statistically better reactions than freezing in place) have been encountered by Americans on American soil, to say nothing of what might happen if you travel abroad.  There are a few detractors from this book, and it IS elementary...once you've read it.  But, like in math or any other discipline, if you don't have the basics, you ain't got much.  If this sort of thing interests you, I recommend you blow the 10 bucks or whatever your preferred format will cost, and make sure you've nailed the basics.  If you move on to the Chuck Norris Academy for the Epicly Bad@$$ or the MMA from there, so much the better prepared you'll be.

There are accounts in this book that you will not find anywhere else. Along with these there is a coherent argument for survival of human personality after death. It is an informative book but also most enjoyable as, from time to time, there is humour. Tricia uses Evidence as her by-word and where possible highlights situations which would not only indicate survival, but leave alternative 'explanations' somewhat wanting. This is also a book that is easily read, without use of stuffy language and in a free flowing style. For anyone who wants reliable information about survival this is the book for you. You will love it.

This is a great book for anyone to read but I think for Americans in particular, and here's why I say that. We have lived in a fairly safe environment when compared with the rest of the world for so long that I suspect that many of our survival skills may have become rusty. Notable exceptions would include Oklahoma City, Katrina, 9-11, at least one of which immobilized the government as well as some of the participants.

After interviewing survivors to find our how and why they survived their situations, the author shares his findings with his readers. After his extensive research, one of the author's most powerful suggestions is - don't go brain-dead with the shock of what you're seeing or experiencing. "Take action and stay conscious". There are many more, but this one struck me as something I want to remember, in case of an emergency.

Hopefully, you'll never encounter any of the crises that the author addresses, but this thought-provoking book is worth a read just in case. I believe that the "walk-through" of many crisis situations that The Survivor's Club offers the reader as well as solutions on how to survive may be the best possible preparation for dealing with the unthinkable.  The book is highly recommended.

This book is more relevant than other survival books.  Not just for if you are out in the wilderness or a doomsday scenerio, but for how to be prepared everyday for any situation.

Regardless of where one lives, emergencies always arise. This is the book to have on hand, a guidebook for saving all the valuable materials needed to survive any disaster...fire, tornado, earthquake, hurricane, flood. It helps one to BE PREPARED!

This is one of the best survival manuals I have seen to date.  I have purchased several others, however, they deal a lot with areas in Africa etc, that don't apply to me. This is down-home practical knowledge. I have been associated with survival for years through the mountain-man hobby, and this is a great source of information.  This is definitely the manual I will take with me when I have to leave in a survival situation. I've told many, many people about this manual, and will continue to do so.
I feel that the comments about misspelled words, and punctuation are not relevant.  Which is more important . . .being able to survive, or worrying about punctuation.  To those people, get over it, and look for content.
Would buy again.  This is a great condensed book you can throw in your pack.
