Tony starts from the beginning with a healthy emphasis on commonsense and survival skills. He offers up the sage advice to always leave a travel plan with someone or let them know where you plan on going and ALWAYS carry your survival gear with you. He then proceeds to show you a list of survival gear for you to consider before giving a description for each item with more detail about it's purpose and often specific brand or model recommendations. He also offers up additional "considerations" that might not be for every situation or fit into the lists above. The book ends with several real-life survival stories and a "Lesson Learned" from each.The book has an simple, conversational writing style. While it would have been nice to have a few images and links to outside resources, the book is well formatted with headers, lists, etc. thatmake it easy to scan.I picked this book up after seeing it recommended on the page of my own book,Ultralight Survival: Prepping a Small and Light Bug Out Bag With Essentials and Gear That Could Save Your Life. This is the first book that I have read by Tony Nester, but I was quite impressed with the clear and concise manner in which he made his key points. While this isn't a long book, you won't find the filler and fluff found in so many kindle books.This book is highly recommended!
