Had the pleasure to learn from Tom Brown directly. This book takes me back those few days. Get the rest of his works, I'm going to. Funny how in retirement you remember and redo your life interests. Our youth needs to read and learn the simple ways of seeing what is around you. Hmm... sit down, be still and don't listen to yourself breath, observe.

Tom brown does a great job of teaching lifesaving survival techniques while keeping it interesting with stories of how he learned the skills, or how he has applied them. Very interesting read. Surprisingly detailed pictures, I actually was able to put together several shelters etc. After reading this book. All potentionally lifesaving content and a good story to boot. This would be a good book for anybody! I highly recommend it to people I care about...

This book is an excellent starter manual for beginners who have an interest in the outdoors as well as providing excellent information that may come as a surprise to the more experienced outdoorsman. Accurate depictions of plants and easily understood illustrations of traps and tools contribute to the general accessibility of the content. Well written and simply laid out, Tom Brown's Field Guide to Wilderness Survival is succint and to the point. The almost encyclopedic know-how provided herein is straight forward and reeks of common sense when compared to some other rambling guides that provide more anecdotes than information. I highly reccomend this book for anyone that enjoys outdoor activities from hard core deep forest hunting to basic hiking or camping.
