"If you breathe and have a pulse, you NEED this book."
-Cody Lundin
Cody Lundin, director of the Aboriginal Living Skills School in Prescott, Arizona, shares his own brand of wilderness wisdom in this highly anticipated new book on commonsense, modern survival skills for the backcountry, the backyard, or the highway. It is the ultimate book on how to stay alive-based on the principal of keeping the body's core temperature at a lively 98.6 degrees. In his entertaining and informative style, Cody stresses that a human can live without food for weeks, and without water for about three days or so. But if the body's core temperature dips much below or above the 98.6 degree mark, a person can literally die within hours. It is a concept that many don't take seriously or even consider, but knowing what to do to maintain a safe core temperature when lost in a blizzard or in the desert could save your life. Lundin delivers the message with wit, rebellious humor, and plenty of backcountry expertise.
Cody Lundin and his Aboriginal Living Skills School have been featured in dozens of national and international media sources, including Dateline NBC, CBS News, USA Today, The Donny and Marie Show, and CBC Radio One in Canada, as well as on the cover of Backpacker magazine. When not teaching for his own school, he is an adjunct faculty member at Yavapai College and a faculty member at the Ecosa Institute. Cody is the only person in Arizona licensed to catch fish with his hands, and lives in a passive solar earth home sixty miles from Prescott, Arizona.

Rating: 
- 98.6
This is a book on wilderness survival, with a twist. The author fancies himself a lively, exuberant, postive spirit, breaking wearisome conventions and avoiding the routine content of other survival manuals. What he is, too often, is sophomoric and verbose. The book could have been half the length without a loss of the valuable information it contains. The cartoons are here as in his later book, which I reviewed earlier, but this time around I found them irritating. Lundin's flippant clownishness ... Read More

- Little information here, repeats many things many times to fill up the book.
The book is smaller in number of pages than your military type survival manual.Lots of topics that are just repeated in diffrents ways.Book is not clear and to the point.Really is a waste of money, should go with a book that has been proven for survival again most true military manuals are you best bet for the money.
Rating: - Buy the real book, not the Kindle version.
The info contained in this book wasn't bad, but it's painfully obvious that they didn't put a bit of thought into how the lists and illustrations would appear on a Kindle screen . The Kindle registers them as images, not text, so the resizing tool is useless.
Unless you enjoy reading size 3 Arial, buy the physical book, not the Kindle edition.
Rating: - A BIG WASTE OF MONEY!!!!
This book is very bad a lot of philosophy and theory that is off base.Some of it looks like it was a cut and past job from other books.Redundancy, bad information a waste of time and money there are better books out there, most military type books seem to be good.There is some very basic stuff here that might be helpful but again you can get that in any other book plus more.A poor buy!
