"This is the perfect book if you don't want to have to talk to any male member of your household - because they have their face buried in this book. It's full of interesting, and some gross, facts and ways to survive in any - and I truely mean any dangerous and life threatening situation you may find yourself in. In fact for the most of it, I NEVER want to be in any of those situations - but at least I'll know what to do if I get bitten by a snake, attacked by a bear or lost at sea."

"This book will give any person a decent knowledge of survival, and is therefore recommended for that reason. However, if you are like me and know the basics of survival, and have had experience practising them, then this book will prove a bit repetitive. Having said that, it is a good read, and Mr Grylls has undoubtedly incorporated his trademark enthusiasm into this book. "

"Update: Recent concerns about parts of the program on which this book has been based have been a source of media speculation. Feel free to make up you own mind but after those concerns were raised I felt it backed up my comments below.
I would stick with the likes of Ray Mears and John 'Lofty' Wiseman(although some of Lofty's techniques are getting a little dated). After reading this book, comparing with other bushcraftsurvival technique books and actually spending time in the wilderness putting what I've learnt into practice, my concern would be if you follow what Bear Grylls recommends you could end up in a worse position than when you started!!"

"After watching the 'Born survivor' series religiously I decided to buy myself the handbook. The book is not complicated to read and I would recommend it to anyone who likes survival or adventure books."
