Ratings and reviews

The author is a good writer, my problem is with the app. I paid for the book and the app won t let me read any of my purchases. Fix it and I ll change my rating to 5 stars.

Goes over the basics really well and if you already know how to bush craft and survive than this book is still a fun read when you're off grid and bored.

It's a good book, but it is purely for entertaining purposes only, you can't learn bushcraft safely from a book.
