Pretty solid. It's written like a textbook - so useful if you're familiar with basic bushcraft - but it assumes you have an understanding of safety in situations like blacksmithing. Made me want to go hiking.

This is a good book if you want an overall view of first aid in wilderness settings or with low means or if you need a refresher.
What this is NOT, is a comprehensive guide to first aid or a clearly illustrated guide to follow, there are few illustrations, it barely gets into any details and while I can appreciate the art style I feel it would be better with photos.

There are better wilderness first aid books out there.

Ok, this book is seriously one of the best I have come across regarding bushcraft. If you are considering taking up bushcraft or just even backpack from time to time, I would recommend reading this book. The beginning is basic stuff, but then it covers so much info, from shelter to tools, to even what type of wood you should be using for each, woodworking, blacksmithing, food, trapping, knots, cloud charts, measurements are just some...yes, some of the topics covered in this book.
Awesome book!
