A must for any outdoorsman

This is my second mora knife. First one is all carbon steel. It's my preferred knife for hiking and backpacking trips. The sheath is versatile enough to fit on my pack hipbelt or my belt. I wrap duct tape around the sheath for field repairs on equipment. This knife is sturdy enough to baton wood, precise enough for smaller carvings and camp work. The blade is a perfect size, wouldn't want it any larger or smaller. It also works fine for cleaning rabbit.

This is a wonderful piece of equipment! So many features in one tool makes this a must have for any outdoors lover! The blade is extremely sharp and seems really tough and durable. There are 4 double sided bits to use and that makes it versatile. Even the end you insert the bit into can be used to bust through glass. I love the flashlight on here and that it can be used while holding the knife in a defensive stance. This product is very well made and I would definitely recommend it!

The book that every woodsman should have written by the Gandalf of Bushcraft. This is comprehensive tome on shelters, bush tools, firemaking and more. The author even goes into research on fasting and what determines when you should live off the land or refrain. A true classic especially for those who teach outdoor skills or long-term wilderness living.

Love, love, love this book! Although it is brief, it is packed with great information, tips, and observations. I've lived in Phoenix for over 30 years and spent a great deal of time hiking and hunting in the Sonoran Desert. Most of my excursions these days are 4x4 day trips, sometimes to some of my old stomping grounds in some remote areas. I've assembled a Vehicle/Base Camp Bag full of gear and survival items, but reading this book is inspiring me to still put together a more portable kit for emergencies - like hiking out in the event of a breakdown. Other items not mentioned to consider:
1. Khaki Fishing Guide Shirt - Several companies sell versions of these for tarpon fishing, but its light weight, ventilated back, and long sleeves with buttons that convert it to short sleeves make it ideal for hot desert conditions, and the khaki color keeps me cooler.
2. Full Sized Orange or Red Umbrella - This provides portable shade without adding much weight, and can either be lashed to your pack or double as a walking stick. I picked orange for its high visibility if I'm trying to be found. If I'm not trying to be found, it is easy to cover the orange with a desert camo mesh sniper veil and hold it in place with clothespins.
3. A pocket comb - If you ever brushed up against a cholla cactus with its barbed needles, you know what a nightmare it is to get it off of you. A comb comes in very handy for this purpose.
4. Powdered Drink Mix - I recently added this to my bag for replacement of electrolytes. They're cheap and weigh practically nothing.
5. Neck Cooling Bandana - Dip it in water and beads swell up retaining moisture. Great way to help cool your neck, although in a true emergency, you may not want to spare the water.
6. LUCI EMRG - I picked this up recently on Amazon, and it would be another low-cost, very low-weight addition to your kit. It is a blow up, solar powered LED lantern. For a solar lantern, it does pretty well, but as a survival tool, it could really be invaluable. One of the settings allows you to use the red LED to automatically signal SOS in Morse Code. During the day, deflate it and hang it off your pack in the sun, then at night, blow it up, turn it on, and you have a decent lantern that works for several hours. It's not high in brightness, but in a rescue situation it is a way to signal at night without using up the batteries in your flashlight or headlamp.

I highly recommend this book to anyone who spends anytime in the desert! Looking forward to reading other Max Cooper books available on Amazon!

I often kayak alone on remote lakes, and before I found Practical Outdoor Survival I was always afraid that I might be forced aground by foul weather in a place that was too far from my truck to reach on foot.  This book makes that prospect a lot less frightening.  Not only does it contain great information about which emergency items I should pack, it tells me how to pack them, and how to use them effectively.  I own a number of good wilderness survival manuals, but this is the one I take with me when my life might depend on the advice I get from a book.

A definite MUST-HAVE for ANYone who goes on any day trip/backpacking/or hiking outing. This is a great item as it has a whistle included, and the unit is waterproof. An absolute life saver and the Bear Grylls product line is high quality in all their items.

This was recommended to use by outdoorsmen when we did a multi-week camping trip through the pacific northwest last summer.  I would not want to be in the woods without it.

This sharpener is awesome, I already cleaned up a nicked blade to field ready. Using the leather to strope takes getting used to but man you can make some razor sharp blades in no time with just a little work. I plan to have this with me camping always!

This book is a great way to learn outdoor navigation.  With the topographical map and grid reader that come with the book, you're ready to get started.  I recommend this book to campers, hunters, hikers - anyone who ventures out into The Great Outdoors. Written in a very conversational tone, "Don't Get Lost' takes you through your lessons painlessly.

Can't say enough good things about this little gadget. I've had mine for years, worn it through all kinds of out door activities and weather and it's still providing all the information I need about my daily activities. Great value. This purchase was a gift for a friend.

I have used this axe for the past three Whitetail seasons in Tennessee and have always come away impressed each time! This tool makes short work of sternums and bones, muscles etc during quartering and butchering.  I have been so impressed that I have yet to go hunting without it in the truck or near to hand. It has proven as invaluable as my hunting knife and Sako Finnbear in the field.  It holds an edge for an impressively long time and the grooves in the handle works as advertised when slippery with blood while butchering.  All in all, an absolutely fantastic piece of equipment no hunter should be without.

It's so important to have such a guide. Few years ago me and two of my friends got lost on hiking trip. It was a very hot day, we ran out of water, the phone had no service and not a soul passed in the area.
Luckily we found our way back at the last minute but it might end in tragedy.
A guide like this can save life and must be among all hiker especially families with children. The book is comprehensive and it written in such organized way so actually can use as a check list before going out.
Very recommended.

After reading many reviews here and on bushcraft forums I had to get one. Lives up to what I read. Great tool in the woods and around town.

a must have for all off-roading.  Strong, complete, and the bag is strong enough to hold the weight.  Too heavy to carry around in a daily driver perhaps.

This survival hatchet is a must have for any camper.  The belt holster allows you to carry and access it very easily.  It has a very good weight to chop through wood, large cuts of meat, or bone.  I love the grip on the hatchet.  You can swing away with confidence.
I like this hatchet so much, that it's even replaced my cleaver in the kitchen at home!

I ordered this to complete my hunting kit, and WOW! I wish I had found this knife a long time ago, would have saved me lots of time and money in supplies, because mostly everything you need comes with the knife. It is perfect for wilderness survival, hunting, camping, whatever. Very good quality blade, and I like that the fist cover can be removed. The pockets on the sheeth that hold the supplies are a little flemsy and would allow water and dirt to get in, but if you move the stuff to your hunting bag, and keep the matches and fishing gear in the handle it works perfectly. Every outdoorsman should own this knife... Yeah, its that good.
