Easy to read, well written, educational… I found this book to be a worthwhile addition to my collection of survival literature. It allows the reader to gain a unique perspective and humbling appreciation for survival from those who’ve been there.
I really enjoyed the “Elements of Survival” that Les Stroud adds to the end of each survival story.
Not only does Les add a lot of insight into the stories, he assigns a percentage to the following categories based on their roles in the survival situation.
- Knowledge
- Luck
- Kit
- Will to Live
If you are serious about survival I would certainly recommend this book as a means to broaden your appreciation for survival, and perhaps more importantly, the will to live.
