Come along to the amazing Summer Moot (21st July - 2nd August), a festival of bushcrafting and camping in a beautiful woodland PLEASE CLICK HERE for more information.
I have this on my Kindle together with his other books. Thought-provoking,amusing and entertaining, but I suspect I'd find him irritating at close quarters.
I like the book very much as well. It could use a little "freshening", as some of the equipment recommendations have become a little dated. But the principles Mr. Lundin expounds are fundamental and invaluable. It is "information dense" and very easy to read.
I also had some reservations about the cartoons. They do not match my sense of humor. But that is a minor quibble when the information in the book is so helpful.
By the way, Richard, yours is probably the best review of this book I have read!
Thanks!

Got both his books too, great reads for sure! The insight in hypothermia and dehydration delivered in this book has really augmented my overall performance on previous trips.
Interesting books ( I have them both) but it's the same old stuff retold in a modern hippy way, love the way he thanks the angels at the start!!!!!!!!!!
Corso, as I understand it he does not advocate going barefoot. It is his personal "lifestyle choice."
I believe he favors chemical disinfection over boiling and includes chemicals in his recommended kit. Although I carry chemicals for day hikes, for multi-day trips I also carry a container to hold water for boiling.

I am reading this book at the moment and it is a brilliant read. My main job a sailing/canoe and kayak instructor and this book pointed out how much I didnt realise I didn't know about hypothermia. As I said brilliant book and well worth adding to the christmas list.

You used the 'p' word. Practice. In the house, in the garden, in the pi$$ing rain.
If it doesn't work, go in the house and think why not.
Everything that you ever see him do isn't for the first or fiftieth time.

IIRC The reason he has stated going barefoot is he is trying to reinvigorate his Mitrochondria for energyproduction , and there seems to be some basic science to support this but mainly from Cold water/environment treatment and fasting.
I have enjoyed reading his books, very interesting reading and puts a different perspective on the subject his cartoons put across messages easily. It is easy to see why they chose him for Dual survivor for a different take. He is a good teacher and has a lot of information on primitive skills. Knowledge is the key.
