AUDIENCE APPEAL: HIGH

This book is divided up into seven dangerous situations such as “Missing in the Rockies” or “Adrift at Sea” and in each section there are different tutorials and educational material about that situation. Most of the text is in bullet points and small boxes interspersed through the pages with photographs and illustrations.

This book is so much fun to read. It is full of fun tips that you will never need, but will indeed enjoy imagining needing. Building a raft and collecting rainwater are fun to imagine doing.
