The Scouting Guide to Survival: An Officially-Licensed Book of the Boy Scouts of America (A BSA Scouting Guide)

This is a very good book, but since it is specifically for people who go hiking, get lost and need to survive, I didn’t get everything I was looking for. I don’t get lost or take long hikes into the wilderness, I’m worried more about SHTF with current situation world wide.

My kids are not big into reading. I bought this and just stuck in the back seat of the truck. I've noticed them reading it quite often when we are driving around town. They have enjoyed it. Good stuff in here too. My boys are 11 and 13 and have been in Scouts since Tigers.

This book is invaluable for anyone wanting to be self sufficient in difficult times.

Good information but poorly written. While it seams to have some good info. It turns the info, it turns the info it does have to crap by using made up words, and terms that just confuse the reader. Some may just be rhetorical language (trying to look ((smart)) like a big shot), but any writer worth damm would avoid talking down to readers. Not try to impress them with made up vocabulary, it should be about sharing the info they paid for. Not trying to impress them with your knowledge. Example he says to rag a blister. What ever that means. (Wrap the blister in bandage or rags as pading would be my guess) but it leaves the reader unclear as what to do. That is just one example. The book does have good color photos. And papes that like to stick to each other so much that trying to turn only one page is almost impossible. Turn 3-4 pages every time. I do think it has good info in the book but it is a batte trying to understand what is being said 🤯. Love the way it says if you are bit by a snake and have a working phone call poison control lol thank you Capt obvious for the lol. It does give you the phone number for poison control, as if 911 would not connect you, and in less time than it would take you to dig out the book and look for poison controls number in the book lol. ALL in all it does have alot of good info but be prepared to struggle to understand what the author is trying to say.

this is not a woods craft approach to survival and living off the landthe priceable presented are strait forward no nonce approach to staying alive until rescue.this is a good read for both the New person as well as a reminder for the experienced person going out into the woods

This is a very good book for those who have not been scouts. The material was mostly covered in the Boy Scout's handbook , and is very good for those who are outdoor oriented.

This is seriously the most helpful survival book I have read... and I have a survival gear addiction.Helpful, informative, instructions easy to read and implement.The book itself is well made and I love the protective metal edges. It makes putting it into a pack easy and won’t damage the book.

Interesting reading covers many of the basics. A shame really that the scouts are fewer then when I was one

Good book

This is an updated edition but they’re old grainy photos and looks poor quality inside.

Excellent for a young scouter
