Ky delivers it all in a very easy to digest, straight to the point style that makes it very easy to take in and remember. I can't wait to use the skills I've learned from her book.
This book wasn't cheap (it was a gift) but I got it as it said it was a hardcover edition.

As someone new to South Florida I am truly enjoying
I purchased this book because I’m not very experienced in survival settings and it looked like a very comprehensive guide book. I’m also a big fan of Ky’s from the Naked & Afraid show on TV. If you have watched Ky you know she is a very experienced & knowledgeable survivalist. I really like this book - it’s chock full of survival advice for natural disasters & survival situations. It has detailed instructions & photos. It’s a big book but very thorough. Definitely a great buy!
I've been a survival fan and practitioner all of a fairly long life. I read George Washington Sears (Nessmuck) and Bradford Angier as a kid. I studied Dave Canterbury and others. Then, I recently discovered the book that has it all, Survive, the All-in-One Guide to Staying Alive in Extreme Conditions, by Ky Furneaux. "All-in-One Guide" raises one's expectations. This book meets and surpasses those expectations. Australian stunt performer Ky Furneaux lives what she wrote about. This book is not meant to be a beach book or flight book. It's 637 pages of well-curated, logically ordered how-to's under almost any survival situation one could dream of...or dread. I keep it on my desk as a reference, but read the chapters in personal impact order. As wont to do, I read the worst cases which might impact me personally first. And, study them. From getting hurt or lost on a hike to urban riot situations. Whether one is an active outdoors person or city dweller, there is good information to be found in here to keep you alive when things take a decided turn for the worse. The information is cogently presented and supported by Emily Sullivan's illustration. This is a five-star with something for just about anyone. And, a lot for adventurers! Buy it today!
