Customer Reviews

Comprehensive, but sometimes outdated
I found this book to cover many topics in depth (probably more than most are looking for). I found the reading to be a little dry and the material to sometimes be outdated. Not bad as a reference tool because of the depth/comprehensiveness/diversity of the topics as long as you confirm what you find with another (current) source.

WHAT THE BOY SCOUT MANUAL SHOULD BE
As a former Scout and now as a Assistant Scout Master, I recommend this book as the best overall camping and survival manual to all Boy Scouts as a reference guide. Over the years, the BSA manuals have become more of a photo album and not teaching tool. They've left many of the needed skills and techniques out and if it was not for having leaders trained in the old way as Paul Tawrell does in his books. It makes a great gift for those boys & even girls that what to experince the great out outdoors.

Great reference!
This is a great book and should be read by all who enjoy the outdoors on a regular basis.
