I own the book, it's one of many in my collection of survival topics. I like it myself and feel it's worth the money. I have so many books on the subject, I find that a lot of them repeat the others. I like the SAS book better than the military issue survival manual. More information and illustrations. I do not own the Urban Survival Handbook, considered picking it up some day. Are you aware of Cody Lundin's books? I think they would go along good with the SAS manual. His first book is geared toward day hikers and trekkers surviving until help arrives. This book is called "98.6 degrees, how to keep your ass alive". Some real practical info for those of us who venture outdoors a lot. His second book 'When all hell breaks loose" is more of an urban survival guide. There are so many books out there on survival, they all have good info, I think the SAS book is a good buy.
