Survivor Kid: A Practical Guide to Wilderness Survival Paperback – May 1, 2011

My boys have loved this book. So much great information. It covers everything from injuries and how to treat them in an emergency situation to how to start a fire or build a shelter. Great fun and we are looking forward to doing more items from it as the weather warms up.

My daughter has this book. I read it and was impressed, so I purchased a copy for myself!

Between the practical advice and the description of basic survival skills this book is top drawer. It basically distills essential survival skills with a style and approach that will be clear to kid readers.The basic advice about what to do when lost, how to assess your situation, and how to decide what you need and how to get it is invaluable. Instructions about shelter, water, and the like are basic but sufficient.This is a great book to take along camping. You can practice and develop the survival skills that are described, and make a game or activity of erecting shelters, building a solar still, and so on. Being competent at bushcraft is worthy on its own and builds confidence and resourcefulness. I know this sounds odd, but practicing being lost is great fun, and even better if you're just practicing.Some outdoors and survival books look good but aren't necessarily very practical, (good luck with that rabbit trap). This book sticks to basics for kids and lays out a solid grounding for survival. A happy find.

I was hoping this book would be good for a 7 year old boy, however this is more advanced. Best for an avid reader as there isn't a ton of pictures. Probably 12 year old and up.

I have an only child who has an active imagination!! This has given him realistic ideas and how to just Incase. It has engaged him while we camp and kayak.

My 9 yr old grandson really enjoyed it!

If your into survival, this is the book for you very detailed and informative step by step instructions on how to tie knots, how to read and orientate a compass and map and how to use a GPS, detailed ideas on shelters, what plants and animals are safe and edible and not safe to eat. I highly recommend this book!!!

Love this for the grandkids!
