About this deal

John Wiseman split the book into chapters for easier digestion. It covers everything I can think of and more. Do you have to live off the land? The book has an entire chapter on edible plants and tubers. Were you in a horrible plane crash? If you survived unscathed, the book describes how to administer first aid to those in need. Are you running out of supplies and need to get the attention of a passing airplane? The book has an entire section on signaling. Does any of that sound impossible to you since you never travel? The book discusses local dangers particular to the Urban Jungle. These books contain a vast array of information, carefully arranged into useful sections. Every survival subject is covered, from the essentials including many ways of finding water, through food, shelter, navigation, disasters, climate, terrain to health and first aid. The books deal with not just the practical, but also the mental approach to survival in any situation. The SAS SURVIVAL MANUAL won acclaim upon its publication in 1986, both because of its clear organization and the illustrious career of the soldier behind it, John "Lofty" Wiseman who served for 26 years and participated in operations all over the world. Having examined a range of survival manuals, I decided to sit down and read this one in depth, and all in all I'm happy I did. There are clear, often colour illustrations for edible and poisonous plants and for tying knots, while the instruction on how to properly butcher a deer or sheep are easier to grasp than in some other manuals. There's a fine section on eating insects that is missing from other guides.

Wiseman, John (2014). SAS Survival Handbook: The Ultimate Guide to Surviving Anywhere (3rded.). ISBN 9780062386717 . Retrieved June 3, 2018. The SAS survival Handbook is a guide to what to do if you end up in a survival situation. It features tools, how to's and what to do and don't in each situation. It is easy to see why this book is one of the first listed when looking for a survival guide. On the flip side, you don’t want to go too cheap or just plain get the wrong thing. There is no reason to get some free guide written by someone nobody has heard of and doesn’t know what they are writing about. You want something reliable that gives sound, practical survival advice.

As well as covering the essentials, being prepared and getting an essential tool kit together, Lofty’s guide has chapters on:

The SAS Survival Handbook contains survival tips to confront any dangerous situations with confidence.

The SAS survival handbook, first published in 1986. It is a complete course for the Special Air Service to prepare for any type of emergency. It presents real-world strategies for surviving in any type of situation, from accidents and escape procedures, including chemical and nuclear, to successful adaptation to various climates (polar, tropical, desert), to identifying edible plants and making fires. The book is very practical and illustrated with easy to understand line art and diagrams. Our research narrowed the field down to the several guides that we reviewed written by: Wiseman, Canterbury, Cobb, Trivet, UST, Riley, Lundin, Stewart, and more. I don't really remember what made me get this book. I've long been a fan of the outdoors and I'm thoroughly impressed by Les Stroud, aka Survivorman. (Bear Grylls is flat out crazy and suggests things no one should ever do.)
