Apr 12, 2003 - http://outdoors-magazine.com. Complete Wilderness Training ... living / survival / training book. Lots of pictures or drawings, very practical.
This is a good reference book, everything, every action is described with appropriate picture or drawing, it is very visual, making it close to it's title, it is a training, think of it of a powerpoint [1] presentation, as compared to a word [2] document. So , while it covers a bit less survival than a SAS Survival Guide / Handbook, it is a very practical book for you and me civilians going outdoors, and covers more practical day to day aspects of hiking, and camping.
One thing I like a lot is that the author is very conscious about the environment, and often gives advices on how to keep places clean and removes traces of one's presence.
It covers a wide variety of skills, in a wide variety of climates, but does not go really in depth.
I got it from amazon.co.uk
In conclusion : Visual, very practical, probably one of the best books to start with, for people that like the outdoors and want to be able to face most eventualities.
