.SAS Survival Handbook: How to Survive in the Wild, in Any Climate, on Land or at Sea

by: John Lofty Wiseman

March 02, 2004
I dont wanna write a book explaining this thing, but, even if youre just a part time backpacker, hiker or camper, this is a book you want to invest in. Lots of good information on lots of areas in the world. There is some stuff in here that should be common knowledge, but will teach you new things you never would have thought.

All and all, for 13 bucks, if the book helps even once while in the wilderness, you got your moneys worth. Its a must read/have for alot of people, from weekend warriors to that hardcore survivalist in your family.

This book is great. It tells you basic needs for survival like how to find water, make shelter and purify water. It is just a great book. If you frequently travel to different places like jungles or forests and you want to know how to survive in the wild if you get lost, this is a good book to get.

.SAS Urban Survival Handbook

by: John "Lofty" Wiseman

April 08, 2008
This book's title conveys its topic; it is a book with detailed guidance on minimizing your risks in the urban environment on a day-to-day basis.

Wiseman writes clearly and compellingly as he takes you from one scenario to another, explaining the types of problems you may encounter and the actions that will get you out of trouble. I began reading his book on a Sunday afternoon and I found myself stopping every few pages to tell my wife about some new bit of information I had not known about my own environment. For example, if your television catches on fire, throw a wet blanket over it because there is a good chance that the picture tube will explode! Perhaps everyone else already knows this, but I didn't: raw potatoes are poisonous and ... Read More:

.The SAS Self-Defense Handbook: A Complete Guide to Unarmed Combat Techniques

by: John "Lofty" Wiseman

April 01, 2000
I purchased this title for a civilian friend of mine who was interested in the unarmed combat techniques I was taught while serving with this Regiment in Rhodesia during the 1970's. While I agree with another reviewer that remarked that the laws in The United States and Great Britain (where I also served during the Faulklands campain with The 3rd Para) are rather draconian with respect to self-defense, the book is very informative regarding the basic tactics and pressure points of the human frame, i.e. body, and is indeed a wonderful primer for the lay-man.

A small bit of inside information regarding The Regiment: Unlike the films, which portray every fighting soldier as 6'4" 280lbs, the average height and weight of a member of the SAS and ... Read More:

.The Ultimate Survival Guide (Harperessentials)

by: John 'lofty' Wiseman

October 26, 2004
Many diagrams and step-by-step instructions for what to do in different situations. This book is probably more useful for the more adventurous type folks, frequent outdoor campers and hikers. About 1/10 of the information in the book can be used for everyday emergencies, like how to carry someone safely over your shoulder. The rest of the book covers things like how to make a raft, making ropes for capturing small animals, and making arrows are fun to read but only useful if you purposely put yourself in that kind of environment. Basically this book targets the die-hards of jungle exploration, mountain climbing, and cross-country camping. Might be useful if you have this book on the plane when it crashes, that's assuming that you're close to land and ... Read More:

.SAS Personal Trainer

by: John "Lofty" Wiseman

1998-12
This book was the first military fitness program that I followed. The results were amazing, in 8 weeks I went from 245lbs down to 205lbs and never looked back. I am now addicted to military fitness programs (books) and swear by them. This book is one of the best and so are the SAS. The program is well rounded with running, swimming, and weight training/calisthenics. There is even a section on self defense which is very handy. The professional program is a killer and I would suggest tackling the less intense programs first. If getting physically fit is your goal then you will have a hard time finding a better book! In fact the only thing tougher than this book would be to actually enlist in the SAS! Being a fitness writer myself (Backyard Sports for Kids), ... Read More:
