"The survival guides are absolutely packed full of information but skip all of the fluff. This makes them stick out from other similar guides that seem too intent on making for an entertaining read and not intent enough on providing the cold, hard facts of survival ... I personally carry my Wilderness First Aid Guide with me whenever I’m out for a hike or out exploring the back country on my snowboard during the winter."
