I helped in the publishing of the book by Larry Dean Olsen, Outdoor Survival Skills, at BYU Press back in 1972. It was a tad more involved than I would ever hope to need. But I did learn a lot from it. Now that I am trying to keep my own 72-hr. kit sufficiently prepared for whatever could happen, I realize I need more than my memory from back then. What I learned in my Girls Camp Certification does help, but it is not as thorough as I would like my training to be. Here in Samoa, after we have experienced the earthquake and tsunami our mission leaders have strongly urged even missionaries to be prepared for whatever. Having proper materials would be a good start. Knowing what to do with them would be even better. I am eager to read your book!

I didn't expect such a thorough response. Your info. is very helpful. I guess I'll just have to prepare better and practice more. Thank you. Wow! I didn’t expect such a thorough response.

It seems to be a good blend of both primitive and current survival needs. Gerke's writing is easy to understand and carries you through the technical parts. It's easy to locate specific items, but is also a surprisingly good read just for entertainment. It's a book that asks to be read ahead of time, before the crises hit. I know that my hunting friends, back country skiers, mountain bikers, hikers and general campers would benefit from it. I might even get one for my son's scout troup. Good book.
