100 Deadly Skills: Survival Edition: The SEAL Operative's Guide to Surviving in the Wild and Being Prepared for Any Disaster Paperback – Illustrated, October 18, 2016

I bought this book mostly for my tween grandsons. We are studying it together so they can learn some good survival skills. With recent (Jan 5, 2023) U.S. government approval of 30,000 immigrants/month just from Cuba, Haiti and Venezuela, in addition to everyone who has been coming in from South, Central America and Mexico, I am concerned. We live in an area that already has homeless people camping everywhere, leaving garbage and drug used aluminum foil and/or syringes and human waste. I have been to some developing countries and seen similar hillsides and communities. This is the consequences of humans outbreeding their resources (and often poor life choices=drugs). Yes we have more resources than some countries but they are not unlimited. If we overpopulate the U.S. we will be in the same situation these people are fleeing when they should be working to fix what is broken in their own countries. Perhaps I am being a pessimist about these "generous" immigration policies but it doesn't hurt to be prepared. It would be amazing if they are all coming to be productive citizens not relying on my and your tax dollars to live on. This book has a variety of topics and so far they are all interesting.

I think if you are the one that reads this book you will be the one that can problem solve in a survival situation, even with little prior experience. This book is written in a way that the ideas stick in your head, with pictures and funny little "blufs" at the bottom. One such bluf says that if you are attacked by a shark and all else fails, just make sure you can swim faster than your buddy. I thought this was funny. But this book does have so many ideas and how to's that it's worth reading. If your like me, it will be fun to read because of the uses of everyday things that I never thought of before! Makes me look at a flashlight a little differently now.

A good book full of good skills

Very good book

Regardless of the title, this is not a book on 100 way to kill, but more on 100 ways to survive.This book packs large amounts of useful information in a simple to understand and easy to remember manner. The sections are short and to the point, which makes it great for reading even when you only have 5-10 minutes to spare. This book will help you prepare for any emergency anyone could encounter, anywhere and for most natural disasters. For these reasons I am reading it with my family. It is better to know and not need than to not know and need.Oh! you may want to have pen and paper to take notes as you read it. Great buy.Also the book is made out of high quality paper. I believe is water resistant paper.

My husband is a former Marine and he requested two of these small guides for his birthday. They're cute little books and once he's done reading them I'm like to read them, too. They're pocket-sized, but only if you wear men's pants.

I bought the whole collection series amazing book. I love it..

Interesting book
