Personal Review: The Big Book of Self-Reliant Living: Advice
and Information on Just About Everything You Need to Know to
Live on Planet Earth by Walter Szykitka
I bought this for my collection of "survival situation" books, and I think it is a
very good addition. This book covers everything from First Aid of Burns,
Survival at Sea, Jam Recipes, Hydroponic Farming, to Brick Construction.
My no means is this a definitive book on any of these subjects, but it can
be used as a very good general knowledge book on all of them.
