How customer reviews and ratings work

Customer Reviews, including Product Star Ratings, help customers to learn more about the product and decide whether it is the right product for them.

To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. It also analyses reviews to verify trustworthiness.

Cain Mosni
4.0 out of 5 starsExactly what it claims to be - foundation basics
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 17 April 2017
Very US-centric, but it does provide all the basic grounding information. Worth a purchase, definitely, although if you already know anything about the basics you probably know most of the substance of the book. Serves as a nice concise reminder, though, and a good loaner after engaging interest in conversation, or good for discussion paragraphs if presenting to a novice audience unfamiliar with the topic.

Horribly american! Very old fashioned, and assumes you don't mind carrying 40 kg or so.

Knowing some ex SF members, I listened to their opinions on books worth having.
This was aways mentioned, along with 'Lofty' Wiseman's 'SAS Survival Guide.'
I'd read some online, but decided that a hard copy is more useful.
Recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars A must have for campers and wilderness walkers.
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 7 February 2017

Great book, just got into bushcraft and wild camping again about 3 years ago.
Canterbury speaks plain English and keeps things to the point, nothing here to bamboozle the reader with jargon.
Just looking at the diagrams learning the 4 or 5 important knots for ridgelines etc was dead easy!
His 5 C's of survival are a revelation and should stand anyone in good stead heading into the outdoors and wilderness.
I would be surprised if even a long time outdoorsy person doesn't find a few tips in this fabulous book.

3.0 out of 5 stars A reasonable introduction to Bushcraft and Wilderness Survival
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 14 September 2020
Verified Purchase
Very heavily slanted towards the American market for which it was obviously written. It is an interesting book to read but you do need to pick through what might be of help in the British context.

Very disappointed with this book. Most of its content appears to have been copied from the SAS handbook.
Save yourself some money and buy that instead?

4.0 out of 5 stars Old fashioned
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 26 November 2020

Some parts of this book are quite dated but it gives you the basics to apply to more modern techniques.

It's also very dry and hard to read in big sessions.

Superb book. Really informative, easy to read & dip into, & full of useful tips for the budding survivalist. Whilst it is written from the perspective of an American bushman, it is still very relevant to those of in the UK who like to go OTG.
