"If you breathe and have a pulse, you NEED this book." -Cody Lundin
(20030814)

Entertainingly Accurate AND Real...

I loved this book. Two things a person needs in order to survive anything, anywhere are: resilience (toughness--which can never be faked) and a sense of humor. Cody Lundin possesses both, along with a sound understanding of what it takes for the human animal to survive in a currently existing environment outside our normal, civilized comfort zone.

The book's theme is all about keeping a proper perspective...about yourself and about the situation, meaning, one must be armed with accurate, reliable, valid and CURRENT information, first and foremost, which one actually is proficient in applying under duress of an immediate, survival need. (Note: The book is about modern survival--not learning primitive life-style skills.)

98.6 DEGRESS is all about K.I.S.S.A.S. Keep it simple, silly...and survive (for real).

This book needs to be right next to the Family First Aid Manual in any properly prepared household. Like the First Aid Manual: possess it, read it, study it and know how to apply the lessons in everyday life.

Great advice from an experienced survivalist!

A new approach to delivering the key ideas of survival and his recommended components for a survival kit with some humor. Short and sweet...this is a great book with another survivalists perspective on how to be prepared for that unexpected situation. I am not going to repeat all of the other 5 star reviewer comments but I will say that after reading many books on survival I have still managed to pull information from this book that was useful. For example, Cody suggests that you put brightly colored tape on survival objects so they are easy to spot if dropped...simple but brilliant. I rapidly modified my kits! I never knew how useful REAL parachute chord is until I read about it in this book. I bought 150' to slip into my kits! Oh! and the dental floss...I haven't use it for survival yet but experimented using it to sew a fiberglass screen around a wood dowel frame for drying plant parts for tea...worked nice! Your survival chances are only limited by your imagination...buy this book for some imaginative stimulation and learn some of Cody Lundin's techniques.

Top Notch Buy

This book I would highly recommend for beginners. The title refers to the bodies core temperature and thus the book delves deep into the science of how to regulate your body temperature. Regulate that and prepare a survival kit and your in good shape to face most situations. The authors knowledge on these subjects is extensive and while you will forget 90% of the statistics you are given you will retain the overall gist of how your body works and what tools to use when in survival mode.

I looked at some of the negative reviews and the main complaint seems to be that the book is too simplistic (It doesn't teach you how to build bows or shelters or any of the other cool, fun stuff). It's true the book sticks to its basic subject matter rigidly but the information contained is simply the most vital a person can have. Add to that the interesting manner in which the book is presented and you have a quick read. I didn't want to put it down.

Great, to-the-point survival manual

Awesome purchase. This book's a keeper. It goes straight to the point and tells you what you need to know and do, if ever caught in a survival situation.

One downside of the book, in my opinion, is that it does not go into a lot of detail regarding survival situations in environments other than hot deserts and cold temperate areas. The survival kit components that are featured in the book attest to that fact.

But overall I love the book because it gives you knowledge you can begin to use immediately.
