SAS Survival Handbook

A comprehensive manual from a former SAS soldier, this book covers everything from fire and shelter to first aid, navigation, and urban survival. The clear, methodical layout makes it a trusted go-to for both beginners and veteran adventurers.

Often hailed as “the most complete survival manual ever written,” this book draws directly from the experience of John “Lofty” Wiseman — a former British SAS soldier and survival instructor. Unlike many generalized guides, the SAS Survival Handbook offers real-world, field-tested techniques with a level of detail that sets it apart. Whether you're navigating wilderness terrain, setting up an emergency shelter, or purifying water under duress, the handbook provides clear, actionable instructions that work in life-or-death situations.

Readers consistently praise the book for its depth and clarity. One reviewer said, “This isn’t just a survival book—it’s a masterclass in self-reliance.” Others noted how the full-color illustrations and seasonal survival advice make it ideal for beginners and experts alike. It’s frequently used as a core text in bushcraft courses, and many call it their go-to reference for both wilderness and urban preparedness. With thousands of 5-star reviews and years of credibility behind it, this handbook earns its spot in every serious survivalist’s library.
