I’m someone you would call a preper and I prep for the end of the world and this book is perfect because it gives all the information that you need to know

Plenty very handy tips to learn

There are some interesting and helpful points made in this book, and for the inexperienced and experienced alike, it will surely be somewhat helpful. However, this is an exceptionally short and brief guide (the book itself is literally tiny), and the author has clearly leveraged their time in the SAS to sell you this book. The information provided is very simplistic and in most scenarios not nearly enough to actually be of use. For example, there is one section about building shelter in the artic. In this section there is a (very rough) explanation of how to make an igloo. If you’ve never made an igloo before and aren’t currently in a position in which you’re required to make one, you might not notice how lacking the instructions are. If you were actually trying to build one based off of the instructions contained herein, however, you would surely fail. There are many other examples of this throughout, where the instructions contain just barely enough to function as a guide, but not nearly enough to be of any use to someone without prior experience. Simply put, I don’t believe anyone could reasonably use this guide to do much of anything contained within, or at least not without prior experience. If you’re already familiar with what the book describes, it can be a handy guide to ensure you don’t forget some important points. If you have no experience, you’ll likely learn some interesting facts that you might not have otherwise considered. I’d still recommend this book, simply because at the price of £2.99 there isn’t much harm in not getting it and flicking through it. On the whole, however, this guide achieves little for the average person who buys this hoping it will save their life in a desperate situation. You pay £2.99 for a book, and you get £2.99 worth of info.
