All the meat and none of the fat September 16, 2003

I've read alot of wilderness, rescue, survival and outdoor medicine books in my life and have found only a select few that I keep coming back to, and this is one of them. The one of the best water survival books I have ever come across. The book is full of useful information actually backed by the research with a rundown of real accounts and what the people did right or wrong. At the end of each chapter it contains a list of the main points you don't want to forget. If you live near water (any water), enjoy watersports or plan on finally taking the family sailboat to some hidden location, don't leave without reading this book !

I haven't read the entire thing yet, but mainly the book cites specific historical examples of characteristics of sea survival (or the lack there of), and then goes on to explain the latest data that is available. So far very interesting, and definately a must have for naval buffs.
