Survivor Kid: A Practical Guide to Wilderness Survival

Between the practical advice and the description of basic survival skills this book is top drawer. It basically distills essential survival skills with a style and approach that will be clear to kid readers. The basic advice about what to do when lost, how to assess your situation, and how to decide what you need and how to get it is invaluable. Instructions about shelter, water, and the like are basic but sufficient. This is a great book to take along camping. You can practice and develop the survival skills that are described, and make a game or activity of erecting shelters, building a solar still, and so on. Being competent at bushcraft is worthy on its own and builds confidence and resourcefulness. I know this sounds odd, but practicing being lost is great fun, and even better if you're just practicing. Some outdoors and survival books look good but aren't necessarily very practical, (good luck with that rabbit trap). This book sticks to basics for kids and lays out a solid grounding for survival. A happy find.

My boys have loved this book. So much great information. It covers everything from injuries and how to treat them in an emergency situation to how to start a fire or build a shelter. Great fun and we are looking forward to doing more items from it as the weather warms up.

It's easy to read and we'll designed. Good quality for such a good price. It has a soft cover and is full of facts about camping and animals you might encounter out in the wild. Perfect for kids just learning how to camp and discover new things in the wild.

Good beginner book but doesn’t get into the nitty gritty for little outdoor adventurers.

The author's descriptions in the book are at a reading level that our 6 y.o. understands. She articulates the importance of outdoor survival well through out the book. Pictures and descriptions of animals, scat, plants, and more are a great addition to the book. My husband and I have looked through the book and we both enjoyed reviewing it. It is a good book to give to children that enjoy the outdoors, and especially for those that go camping and/or hiking. Our son really enjoys this book, and he takes it out and reads through parts of the book. I would buy this again or for a gift, and I would highly recommend it.

I ordered this for my 10-year-old son. He has to read a non-fiction book for a book report and chose this one. I have flipped through it several times, and read sections. My son found this book very interesting. I think it is very good too. It has a lot of information on surviving in the wilderness alone, such as finding food, poisonous/dangerous animals/insects/etc, building a shelter, and more. My son is a Boy Scout and loves this kind of outdoor stuff, so if you have an outdoor-oriented child, (s)he will probably like this book too. If your child isn't the outdoor type, this is still an excellent book containing important information.

My son loves the outdoors and over the early pa demic shut-downs he became interested in several shows related to surviving the wilderness. I found this book while browsing for Christmas and knew he would love it! Its hard to get him to read sometimes but now he goes to his room and reads this book every night before bed! Also asked to take it to school to show his reading teacher! I can't swear to the accuracy of any of the information, but he loves it and he's reading!

If your into survival, this is the book for you very detailed and informative step by step instructions on how to tie knots, how to read and orientate a compass and map and how to use a GPS, detailed ideas on shelters, what plants and animals are safe and edible and not safe to eat. I highly recommend this book!!!

Bought for my 10 year old, who wants to be an adventurer. He loves this book and is enjoying the different facts. He’s used it to pack his survival backpack ready for his next adventure . Recommend for any other intrepid explorers.

Thank you.....
