Quick Review: Dave Canterbury's waterproof Pocket Survival Guides

Waterford Press sent us Dave Canterbury's series of pocket survival guides to check out recently. The eight different titles are:

Shelter, Fire, Water

Wilderness First Aid 

Signaling For Rescue

Improvised Trapping

Basic & Primitive Navigation

Improvised Hunting Weapons

Building a Survival Kit

Basic Tracking

The guides are constructed to be lightweight and waterproof. The emphasis is on surviving in the Eastern US, but much of the information is universal. Regardless of Dave's "resume embellishment" saga, I think he did a great job on these guides, as the information is sound, helpful and well written. Definitely worth consideration as something to throw in your pack "just in case."

4 out of 5 Stars
