Survival Hacks: Over 200 Ways to Use Everyday Items for Wilderness Survival (Life Hacks Series)

This book is so educational and informative. I love that there is a picture on every page and every item is very well explained. Highly recommend for campers or survivalists!

Review “Survival Hacks: Over 200 Ways to use everyday items for Wilderness Survival Creek Stewart “Survival Hacks” by Creek Stewart is one of the most useful, simple, real survival books I have seen. Every one of the 200 hacks is something you can use for alternate purposes to improve your chance of survival your quality of life when surviving. Creek divides his book into chapters 1) Shelter 2) Water 3) Fire 4) food 5) staying healthy, 6) gear 7) forward movement 8) every day carry. The book is one long series of simple, inexpensive, alternate means of successfully achieving success in each of these critical areas. For example: easy ways to make tinder. Bike tube slingshot. Bow from skis. Shipping envelopes for water proof stuff sacks. drinking straws filled with petroleum jelly cotton balls. The list goes on and on. This book is not for the beginner prepper as basic knowledge and basic gear are still necessary. For the preppers: Think into the future. How long will your best prepared bug out bag last and keep you going. These are ways to extend that time period, and enable you to take advantage of the debris of the post SHTF environment while developing a long, long term survival set up in the real SHTF world. These are ways to make your life more comfortable and easier with the stuff you will find out there in the post SHTF urban or wilderness environment. For the wilderness survivalist: These are tricks you can prepare at home and take with you to make your wilderness trek easier and more comfortable. These are things you can stuff into your “possibles bag” to save you when you get lost. Or, if you want to follow Tom Brown (last chapter of “The Tracker”) entering the woods truly and literally naked except for a knife, these tricks will help you understand what you need to do to survive a full year of 4 hard seasons alone. Great Book, Creek. Truly useful and practical.

It's a good book that provides various DIY tips for survival. Obviously, real-life practice is essential to truly master the skills needed to craft various items.

Books really useful, some designs could be simplified a bit but alas they work and it’s an interesting read

This is a pretty basic book. What I will say about it, having the book gives you a chance to actually perform some of these survival skills. The chapters are small and the tips are mostly useful. Being able to do some of these tasks will prepare you for if and when the need arises that you need survival skills. If you are an hiker, some ideas will defiantly save your life such as drinking from a bandana or scarf. The bicycle tube sling shot is pretty unique. This is a good way to sit down with your kids and teach them how to make things and also learn about home protection if the power grid ever went down. The lip balm ideas are also great for every day use such as lubricating a zipper. Who hasn't had a stuck zipper on a winter jacket? How about using a bottle cap for a pulley? This book is very informative for many idea's and the fact if you sit down and do these hacks with your kids or friends, you learn a lot. Yes, some is very basic but its always good to go over the basics. I highly recommend this book and I even recommend even more you actually do these hacks. This is knowledge that will not go to waste,

Wonderful book to start with.

First, I will admit I am a big fan of Creek Stewart and all of his books. Survival Hacks is one, if not the best, of Creek's books to date. The book is logically divided into various sections of survival topics. Many of Creek's topics delightfully begins with how and when he first learned the tip, or some beneficial background information. The tips listed are "real world" instructional information, and not some far fetched MacGyver projects that us mere mortals could never duplicate. There are many topic related drawings, I would prefer photographs, but the cost of the book would have been doubled or tripled. There are 9 full page photos showing examples of 7 EDC, (Every Day Carry), kits that are very helpful. The kit contents are listed with the reasons they are important. If you are new to the world of prepping/survival, or have been studying the topic for years, this book is a must have for your reference books. Thanks for reading this far. This is my first review of anything ever and I hope you find it helpful.

Il libro in se è carino ma è in bianco e nero, senza tante illustrazioni (essenziali per un manuale pratico) e in inglese. Inoltre di tutti i "trucchetti" che ci sono, tanti sono ovvi o altri inutili. Quelli davvero utili e praticabili in casi di emergenza sono una ventina. Il libro ve lo consiglio lo stesso ma non aspettatevi un manuale serio. Anche il costo è troppo elevato per quello che offre

Been bushcrafting for half a lifetime. I thought I knew all the tricks. Whoever said in their review they have heard all of this before isn't being honest. If they are, they grew up eating grubs and making epoxy out of charcoal and pine resin as a toddler. What, you haven't heard of making your own bush epoxy? Neither had I. Plus, the part about wearing nylons to keep ticks off your lower body. Why didn't I think about that? No way ticks make it through that barrier. And those are just TWO of the many little tips, insights and techniques in this book. Well worth the price. Might save your butt one day.
