I just got this in the mail and have been thumbing through it. I seriously can't believe how much stuff is in it. It covers 100x more than I could even imagine it would. I plan on reading it cover to cover many, many times.
@Zakiuz101 I don't like phony hollywood survivalists and the way the show is produced, sorry for not being clear english is not my native language. Bear's show is for entertainment and there are better ways to do stuff he does on TV, but I bow my head to his experiance and skillset, not many guys can pass SAS selection.
@Zakiuz101 Bear is one hell of a man,but the show isn't focused on die hard survivalists/outdoorsmen, that's why I don't like it that much. He got himself injured performing one of those stunts I'm talking about.

@Zakiuz101 No one with a sane mind would do these crazy stunts, they decrease your chance of survival. I'd love to see lofty young, there are a lot of good survival experts these days but not on tv, shows are supposed to be entertaining not teaching.
@Zakiuz101 Modern survivor-Hollywoody suicidal showman, Lofty-for me he's an old timer, trust me he's been around more places than native americans, he even uses similar techniques...
can someone tell me the difference between: The big Sas Survival Handbook and sas survival handbook ok the second is smaller and has different cover but besides that? less content or less images or smaller font?: S what? plzz need to know
You guys know he is much more then a Survival guy right? He was the youngest person to join the SAS and basicaly SET the standard when he ran the courses.... I is the only one to do so.
John's the man, always has been in my eyes, he was here before Gay Mears and Spare Grills. I got this book out of the library and would keep having it repeated until one day they had a book sale and it was in for 50p......bargain and will always be on my shelf....
I swear by this blokes teachings, his 1st book has never been out of print & the way that it has been written, anybody can appy the knowlege...be they camper's or hunter's etc. Top bloke, would love to met him & get my book signed.
Cool. I have the SAS Survival Handbook by Lofty Wiseman ...(A progression from building dens and making fires when I was a kid ; ) Gonna look out for the Nuclear War Survival Handbook now (Another of my li'l obsessions)
lofty is a survivor legend i have the hardback book and it WILL save your life tested and highly recommended
