Survive anywhere

Mini-version of seminal survival book

Product

SAS survival guide

Promise

A Collin's Gem reissue of John 'Lofty' Wiseman's legendary SAS Survival Handbook, the manual that tells you everything you need to know to get by in a crisis - now in a pocket version.

Performance

Pocket sized is about right - and high time too. The original bulky, square version was all very well for boning up at home and practicing techniques in your garden, but the chance to take this extremely useful manual out in the field is priceless. They haven't dropped too much content either, with some great excerpts in all the useful areas - campcraft, wild food, preparing game, starting fires - all still there.

Verdict

When it comes to survival, it's fair to say that Wiseman wrote the book. This is a brilliant new version that everyone should stuff in their pack - just in case.
