For those interested in the wilderness or hands-on outdoor pastimes, it keeps you flicking forward to see what other goodies it contains for you to get stuck into, or even fantasise about. It contains many interesting activities on how to survive in or simply enjoy the wilderness, suitable even for a first-timer. It breaks tasks down into easy to follow step by step instructions, along with the more detailed paragraphs along side.

Rating: - Good introduction to outdoor survival
I liked the way the book was organised, into seasons highlighting the essentials e.g. fire, shelter etc.
The writing style is clear and easy to read, demonstrating Ray's obvious knowledge and love of nature.
As mentioned elsewhere, the illustrations are fairly basic, but I think sufficient to get the practical concepts across.
Blatantly promotes his own Woodlore equipment & bushcraft/survival courses!

Overall I would recommend the book as an introduction to outdoor survival.
