A masterful weaving of a story of survival into one of life in the wilderness.  Joe is involved in an airplane crash and parachutes out into the wilderness.This is a fascinating glimpse into how an individual may be able to survive with only the barest of essentials with him.  A ton of knowledge is imparted in this story.  From how to make a fire set, clay pots, shovel, debris shelter, set snares and the uses of a yucca plant for natural cordage.  Those are the ones I remember but are just a few of the many listed.  One quote about animal sinew:  "a single strand of animal sinew only a sixteenth of an inch thick could almost support a man's full weight".This book also has a ton of action in it..  Joe endures a tornado, an ice storm, and an attack by a wild animal.  Oh, did I forget to mention that there is some romance in it, too?I only hope that if I am caught in the wilderness that Joe is beside me until the end!Most highly recommended.
