Great for a worriwr who want to be to solve any problem

I always buy my family small presents for our family vacations. For last year's road trip I made survival bags for my husband and son to keep them busy on the road since I did all the driving (with my car sickness it is easier for me to drive). This was one of the items in my husband's bag. He is a worrier who stresses about everything, really over the top things as well. He loved this book because he actually worries about the extreme things in this book and felt better knowing how to handle them. He found them fscinating and informative. I plan to buy him the rest of the series.

Hilarious..... but Practical!

At the ripe age of 77( but I've not met my expiration date yet), I may never need the plainspoken instructions in this book! But, again, I'm prepared in the event I ever find myself in one of these scenarios - even in a dream!!!

Fun read.

I bought this to kill some time reading on a short flight. I don't know if all of the tips in the book are really workable but it was fun to read and at least one or two could come in handy. Hopefully I won't need to bribe a third world government official and I am not likely to be trapped on a runaway camel but if I do I will have some idea how to do it.

If you are looking for a book you can finish on a 45 minute flight and get a chuckle as you read and imagine yourself in the situations that the book describes-- this is your book.

But if you are looking for real world survival tips that are technical and detailed enough to actually use you need a different book and you will need to practice most of the tips. (you probably won't be able to land a small plane in the water and survive by reading over this book once or twice...)

Have fun with it.

One hour of reading
by Barry L. Brumfield (3 out of 5 stars)

Slightly entertaining, but trivial. Other than copy and paste from safety, operational, and owner's manuals, there is no depth in advice given. At times offers dangerous choices without proper safety warnings, such as, if your car's brakes fail use the car traveling in front of you to stop yours by running into the back of it. A loose collection of really far fetched what ifs with an even looser collection of "answers" on how to extract yourself. A pamphlet of common (and not so common) sense. Sells for $1.99, should be priced at 99 cents with a page quantity listed front and center.

It was a fun quick read with some valuable info if the worst things happen while traveling. I enjoy it and suggest it for anyone that travels often to foreign or unfamiliar countries

I bought it for my husband as a joke
He's read through and said it was a little humorous. He said it's really valuable information and thanked me

Amusing and accurate (?)
by Jane Newhagen (4 out of 5 stars)

It's fun and hopefully not necessary to know ways to get out of a car trunk. Certainly vital to know how to trap water on a desert island. I have no way of knowing if all these tips are good practical advice, but they're definitely amusing. I must remember to determine whether the elevator is cabled or piston operated before I get on next time!

My daughter enjoyed this book a great deal, there is some very practical advice in it! There may also be some less than practical advice, but I'll let you form your own opinions about that. Overall this was a really good gift and I'm glad to have purchased it! It went over very well.
