I got a copy of that book the SAS survival guide when I was 14 in the 80s the best book I ever bought in my life. Always make sure to have a copy for the kids to look up if they have to, and I encourage them to memorize it and try all the traps, within reason
Awesome book Rob. I’ve given them to all my sons and nephews, I’ll be giving them to my grandchildren soon too. Such a brilliant book. A must have in your kit bag. 🤩👊🌟
Handy little book, i can see you probably got a few of your woodland cookout ideas from there! 'Threads', that was one scary film!! I saw it when it first came out in 1984, we had to watch it, then the subject matter was discussed in the school assembly the next morning! Scary stuff when you were only 15.
Thanks, Rob! I downloaded a digital version so I can use my text to speech to read to me because of my dyslexia. So far I see a ton of good information in it.
awesome video as always Rob spotted a few copies on Ebay cheapest was about £3.62 there are quite a few copies on there, but a good book to have, thinking of finding bastion five tomorrow (thursday) nice cafe near bastion 4. have a great evening Rob. best wishes Natalie
The Bible of 'vival! I still have my original 10x12 copy, bulky and heavy but can be used as an a-frame shelter in a pinch.😂 The wee one lives in the smock.🤘
@robtherover It's the one use that 99% of survivalists don't know that they don't know haha! And as the old wisdom goes, "There are known factors, these are the things we know that we know. Unknown factors can also get you hurt, these are the things that we don't know. And furthermore there is the division of known knowns, unknown knowns, known unknowns, unknown knowns and of course unknown unknowns, Any or all of which can get you hurt or killed. So when somebdy sagely tells you "Knowing is half the battle..." Rinse their heads out with that pearler :-D 🤘 Bonus points for deadpan Corporal/Sergeant major delivery 😂
If you struggle getting into anything, be it excercise or reading, get into the habit of doing it whilst you wait for the kettle to boil. 10 p.u. 10 squats, stretches etc, you'll soon be feeling up to more actual exercise, with a book just pick a page and read it until the kettles boiled. Finish the page but then put it down and brew on, That way if you're on a 'good' bit it stays in your mind and makes you keen to continue. 🤘🙂
Good book that Rob.
I loved it and lost it for years. Glad I rediscovered it.
It looks like a great book that rob, years ago when in the Army, I did a some training with old Lofty. I still have my notes from the course. 👍
There’s a few vids on UA-cam with lofty talking about survival. He seems like a proper character.

It’s a book that’s well worth having.
Awesome book Rob.

🤩👊🌟
So much great info in it. Well worth having.
@ I’ve seen Mr Wiseman a few times at the bushcraft show, very interesting fella 🌟👍
@@ChiefScout_Outdoors I must try and get to the bushcraft show sometime. I know I would love it.

Yeah Threads played on my mind for years after I saw it in 1984. Made me start thinking about survival techniques.

There’s so much good info. I read it all but not in any particular order.
@robtherover it seems like it! I browsed thru it and saw a lot of great info, so can't wait to go thru it in depth

I think there’s some people squatting in bastion 5 at the moment. I’m told they’re ok though.

My favourite book is turn left at orion.my best friend had a big version of that in the 80s
I love this little pocket edition. Though these days I need glasses to read it.
@robtherover I've a Collins gems the night sky.87 edition was £3.50 goes on holidays with me🤓
Just after ordering eBay used Collins gem🫡
great pocket book that, i think i have the newer version somewhere but its not as detailed as that from memory 👍
Great little book chock full of useful info.
Hi Rob I got the same book . Never read it. Just sits on the shelf 😭😭
The camp craft section might be of great interest to you Sam. Loads of ideas there.
If you struggle getting into anything, be it excercise or reading, get into the habit of doing it whilst you wait for the kettle to boil.
10 p.u. 10 squats, stretches etc, you'll soon be feeling up to more actual exercise, with a book just pick a page and read it until the kettles boiled.
Finish the page but then put it down and brew on,
That way if you're on a 'good' bit it stays in your mind and makes you keen to continue.
🤘🙂
@@robtherover yeah Rob I'll have to give a read one day again 👍
