As all books that are over 50 years old this one a some views and language that just are not appropriate. That being said if you want a book that give a surprising amount of practical information at a great price this is it. If you have ever wanted to prepare for a disaster or wanted practical information before camping this book will give you a great beginners course in "woodcraft".
It does not show you everything and at its age does not have any information on the latest gadgets (like say a magnesium stick or striker stick) but it does give the basics of surviving. Warmth, shelter, food.
The best part about this book is how spot on it is even without the knowledge and modern research when have at our disposal now. His knowledge of food and warmth alone are astonishing even as his speech gives away the time period he is in.This is also shown by his lack of coverage on water. I am sure he just assumes water sources are available and just leaves it out. We know that water treatment is a priority but from the authors view water is either sweet or not.
So read it and gain knowledge.
