- A lot of everything in this book...
- This book is great! It tells you (and shows you)how to make shelters, catch food, tie knots, what different plants and animals are good, bad, deadly, and edible(through color pictures). The book goes into detail about basic wilderness first aid and it also talks about everything from ocean to desert survival and even to nuclear fallout! It has detailed pictures and descriptions on just about everything. Buy this one...you won't be sorry.

- a reliable standard, along with US gov't pubs
- Pretty fair, illustrations good, maybe a little more expansive on first aid, snares and improvised equipment than FM 21-76, some stuff on vehicle operation that is sketchy but useful and often not in these books, I would put Wiseman on a par with FM 21-76 (Army) overall, though I almost agree with the reviewer that found 21-76 better; I also would add that AFR 64-4 (Air Force)is great as well, though not very portable. Scanning the books on my shelves, I see these three are falling apart while the others of this sort look hardly used.

- Good Book, but there are better
- This is a good book, but the best by far is the U.S. Army Survival Manual.

- Great source for emergency preparedness
- I bought this book after the attack in NY. I am not an outdoors type person but after reading this I feel that I could survive if the need arose. I think it's a great resource for everyone for any type disaster, natural or man-made.
