    About this ebook

    "If you breathe and have a pulse, you NEED this book."
    -Cody Lundin 

    Cody Lundin, director of the Aboriginal Living Skills School in Prescott, Arizona, shares his own brand of wilderness wisdom in this highly anticipated new book on commonsense, modern survival skills for the backcountry, the backyard, or the highway. It is the ultimate book on how to stay alive-based on the principal of keeping the body's core temperature at a lively 98.6 degrees. In his entertaining and informative style, Cody stresses that a human can live without food for weeks, and without water for about three days or so. But if the body's core temperature dips much below or above the 98.6 degree mark, a person can literally die within hours. It is a concept that many don't take seriously or even consider, but knowing what to do to maintain a safe core temperature when lost in a blizzard or in the desert could save your life. Lundin delivers the message with wit, rebellious humor, and plenty of backcountry expertise. 

    Cody Lundin and his Aboriginal Living Skills School have been featured in dozens of national and international media sources, including Dateline NBC, CBS News, USA Today, The Donny and Marie Show, and CBC Radio One in Canada, as well as on the cover of Backpacker magazine. When not teaching for his own school, he is an adjunct faculty member at Yavapai College and a faculty member at the Ecosa Institute. Cody is the only person in Arizona licensed to catch fish with his hands, and lives in a passive solar earth home sixty miles from Prescott, Arizona.

      This is an overview or tip guide for outdoor survival.For the most part it is fairly easy to read. In some places, the tone does seem to be condescending but this could also be an attempt at humor. Without knowing the writer, in a text format, these types of humor are rather difficult.Little to no references for fact checking or additional reading are left which is heartily disappointing.Numerous references are dated and/or regional which may cause confusion to outsiders.There are a number of good tips scattered within the pages though.Overall, an adequate read.

      Besides the dedication to "all Beings of Light," living "within a conscious understanding of our true Selves" and his gratitude for "all the Ascended and Cosmic Ones, to all the Archangels, Archeia, and angels, elementals, and Elohim"... and his characters "Elvis Parsley, Willy Nilly" and others, by the time you weed through all his flakey or cutesie fluff content, the meat on the bone is practical and useful, but lost. By three chapters in, I truly felt like I had wasted my time. The title suggests "How to survive Fear, Panic, ad the Biggest Outdoor Killers," but my initial survival was against falling asleep while reading this kum-by-yah, lets all hold hands and thank mother earth tripe. Just read page 209, and you've saved yourself $16.95 and the time spent reading it... OR... Watch your core temp, adequate water, stay dry, tell people where you are going, check your transportation, take a survival kit, know how to signal for rescue, don't take unnecessary chances, rest. DONE.

      An interesting and helpful read. Quirky in it's delivery; meant to help remember, but it doesn't really deliver for me - seems a distraction especially when you have to memorize the silly names and characteristics of his strange cast. Explains why most people get in trouble in the first place and how to avoid that. How to craft an emergency survival kit that's easy to carry (and he emphasizes inexpensive items). A bit cruncy-hippie for my tastes, but valuable none-the-less. I recommend checking out the Equipped to Survive website for great information and friendly no-nonsense discussion forums.
