Finished reading this book quite a few months back. Interesting read backed up by the fact that Cody Lundin has a wealth of experience and lives pretty much what he preaches. Take away the daft illustrations and you actually have some excellent info that could help save your ass. His experiences with eating very old 'out of date' food is a valuable lesson as is purifying water using just sunlight. His emphasis is that your attitude towards your situation is paramount to your survival. Loads of interesting facts and tips that will ultimately help. Not everyone's cup of tea but I connect with the guy and definitely his effort has it's place in my top five books so far!
