I like that these directions aren't reduced in the name of excess caution. The idea is that a kid who is old enough to look for these sorts of directions is old enough to be trusted to use a knife and safely start a fire. Not that thees directions are given haphazardly. There are copious safety warnings. It's just better to give a kid complete, safe directions, than to leave them to experiment unaided. While not every subject is covered in depth, Grindrod gives primary focus on basic survival skills: recognizing and carrying what you need, finding clean water, building a survival shelter. Give this book to kids who want to go camping beyond a campground.
