"This is an entertaining book. Offers a lot of resourceful information and some unique methods of survival. I have learned quite a bit from the book. Granted, I do not think I will use much of it, I do not think I will find myself stranded in a desert for example. But, the knowledge is great, it provides perspective, and also, you have to figure, anything is possible."

100 Deadly Skills Survival Edition The SEAL Operative Guide to Surviving in the Wild and Being Prepared for Any Disaster Clint Emerson 9781501143908 Books Reviews
- This book has some problems. The first problem is the title; it makes it sound like this is an extension of the first book. It's not. This is a book that provides tips about how to survive in various types of wilderness, natural disasters, or man made disasters (including active shooter situations), along with overly repetitive info on how to make a Go Bag.
Second problem is that some off the information in here is simply wrong. I'm hoping that's the result of a bad editor/ghostwriter rather than the author being this wrong.
Examples Pg. 50, cold weather survival; yes, alcohol does cause vasodilation which leads to increased heat loss. But caffeine and tobacco cause vaso-constriction, which can contribute to frostbite. Yes, both are bad in cold weather, but stating wrong info dilutes ones trust in the res of the info provided.
Pg. 94, desalinating sea water; minor but important point is missing - remove the tin can before trying to drink the water.
Pg. 116, choice of shotgun ammo; this is a major problem and so wrong it could cost lives. Contrary to what's written, buckshot WILL penetrate multiple interior walls. Worse, again contrary to what's written, the pattern size from a shotgun is roughly 1" per yard of distance from the target. So at 3-6 yards that you'd see inside a home, that's a maximum of a 2" pattern, which means you DO have to aim. Did Joe Biden write this section?
Elsewhere there are a couple references to saying NOT to use Goretex because it's not breathable. Well, Goretex is breathable. So the question is, did the author mean don't use Goretex BECAUSE it's breathable (and thus, unlike vapor barrier clothing, will make you colder), or did he mean you SHOULD use Goretex because it's breathable?
Those are the major problems I've found so far. The rest of the book is ok I guess, but for people who've already trained in wilderness medicine, advanced first aid, or have backpacked/camped a lot, this book has less to offer. - I got this as a bit of a gag gift. I read it while winter camping and ended up finishing the entire book in long night. Emerson blends functionality, humor, and a bit of unpredictability into what ends up being a pretty good book. I like his teaching method and will be using the book as a reference to teach a nine year old basic survival skills. I will wait till the boy is a little older before we cover the chapter on how to hide a body.
- This book is a continuation of his first book, 100 Deadly Skills, which I also read. Clint is a BTDT type from the SOF community as a SEAL of note, so his advice not typical mall ninja nonsense you'll often find out there.
Both books supply easy to read concise advice on surviving a wide variety of possible threats and make for excellent reference guides on the topic. Sort of cliff notes for how not to die from a wide range of potential threats.
The first focused on some tricks of the trade for all manner of threats and strategies more common to people who go into harms way for a living, and the second contains advice on threats more common to a larger audience and civilians, such as fires, natural disasters, home invaders, etc. I prefer the first book personally, but that's due to the fact I enjoy learning about spy craft and how high level people working in difficult and dangerous situations survive.
The first more fun to read, the second more applicable to a large audience and most civilian types, although civilian types will pick up some excellent tips from the first book too.
Either a worthy read, both worth reading in our modern world. - Excellent book full of great details anyone can use to prepare for the worst, should it happen. I really enjoy trying many of the skills, within reason, pointed out in the book. Practiced the navigation tips as well. I will tell you practice makes perfect. It's just fun to do.
- This is an entertaining book. Offers a lot of resourceful information and some unique methods of survival. I have learned quite a bit from the book. Granted, I do not think I will use much of it, I do not think I will find myself stranded in a desert for example. But, the knowledge is great, it provides perspective, and also, you have to figure, anything is possible.
- If you have family & friends who don't exactly embrace Being Prepared, then consider this the a book that is written in a way that they can consume quickly & easily. Easy to pick up, but hard to put down.
- This is a fun book. I got it for my husband. It even has details for how to deal with someone coming into your house (intruder), and surviving bear or shark attacks. Also includes things like avalanches and what kind of emergency things to carry in your car. A very visual book with illustrations on every single page. Very cool pocket guide. Really quick, applicable tips.
- Good basic information. Does not dive in to complex info. I would recommend this to any one learning or a quick over view for more advance survivalist. Because we some times teach others but forget to keep it simple.
