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
