"This book was quite disappointing. If you live in a region where water is abundant, this might be a good book. If you're afraid of being stranded in your own home without electricity or natural gas for a month... it could be useful. But if you life in a part of the country where the climate is arid and water is the main concern, this book is woefully inadequate. It didn't even offer how to make a carbon filter out of coal and a soda bottle. Want to make a spoon? Well, that's definitely in there. He offers many ways to make a fire without wood, but tell me where the heck I'm going to find lighter fluid, Heet, or rubbing alcohol in the remote woods? Nearly everything offered can be seen on Youtube or Buzzfeed."

Survival Hacks Over 200 Ways to Use Everyday Items for Wilderness Survival Creek Stewart 0045079593343 Books Reviews
- First, I will admit I am a big fan of Creek Stewart and all of his books. Survival Hacks is one, if not the best, of Creek's books to date. The book is logically divided into various sections of survival topics. Many of Creek's topics delightfully begins with how and when he first learned the tip, or some beneficial background information. The tips listed are "real world" instructional information, and not some far fetched MacGyver projects that us mere mortals could never duplicate.
There are many topic related drawings, I would prefer photographs, but the cost of the book would have been doubled or tripled. There are 9 full page photos showing examples of 7 EDC, (Every Day Carry), kits that are very helpful. The kit contents are listed with the reasons they are important.
If you are new to the world of prepping/survival, or have been studying the topic for years, this book is a must have for your reference books.
Thanks for reading this far. This is my first review of anything ever and I hope you find it helpful. - The title clearly says, “Survival Hacks Over 200 ways to use everyday items for Wilderness Survival.†Most of the “hacks†cannot be used for wilderness survival. The majority of these “hacks†could be used in a suburban or urban environment when the grid is down, however, not in the wilderness survival situation. For instance, the slingshot whisker biscuit, how many of you carry a paintbrush in your backpack or bug-out-bag? The hobo candle heater, who carries terra cotta flower pots with them into the wilderness. The shelf bracket stove; how many carry metal shelf brackets into the wilderness. The brick rocket stove; how many of you are willing to carry bricks into the wilderness in order to utilize this wilderness survival “hack?†How about the pallet shelter, who is going to carry pallets into the wilderness to make a shelter. In addition, how many of you have tried to take apart a pallet. You need the right tools and you need heavy tools. These are just a few of the “hacks†which don’t make sense in a wilderness survival situation.
A lot of the “hacks†in this book require prior planning and tools which most people do not carry into the wilderness. While this book does have a lot of interesting “hacks†which can be utilized in an urban or suburban environment with the proper tools, this is not meant for wilderness survival. If the author wishes to promote wilderness survival, then my suggestion would be for him to really re-evaluate every hack in this book and make sure it is something that can actually be used in the wilderness.
In all honesty, I cannot recommend this book for wilderness survival as quite a few “hacks†in this book are very impractical for that genre. For those of you who do not agree, this is only my opinion and nothing more. Thank you for reading and good luck. - This book was quite disappointing. If you live in a region where water is abundant, this might be a good book. If you're afraid of being stranded in your own home without electricity or natural gas for a month... it could be useful. But if you life in a part of the country where the climate is arid and water is the main concern, this book is woefully inadequate. It didn't even offer how to make a carbon filter out of coal and a soda bottle. Want to make a spoon? Well, that's definitely in there. He offers many ways to make a fire without wood, but tell me where the heck I'm going to find lighter fluid, Heet, or rubbing alcohol in the remote woods? Nearly everything offered can be seen on Youtube or Buzzfeed.
- The 200 hacks weren't new. The hand drawn pictures were not terribly useful. Out of the 200 topics, I would only count 10 or so as being meanful to me. Perhaps if you were just starting out down this trail it'd be more valuable, but anyone with more than a year or two of research into the survival woodcraft fields will be disappointed. I was excited about this book, but it was not at all what I expected based on Creek's earlier books which I thought were great.
- I bought this book as a Father's Day present for my husband. The book is fun, but do not buy it if you are expecting it to show you serious survival techniques of any sort. The majority of the ideas are more of a "perhaps fun to try as a neat science experiment", but a lot of them are not even that....(like the bra-breathing mask). In all honestly, there were less than five that we think could actually be used in a survival situation...but even then it would have to be a perfectly constructed survival situation, where you had all of the spare materials that you needed for each 'hack'.
- I found the book to be boring I wouldn't recommend I thought this was a book on survival in the wilderness like for example things that I could use in the wilderness to survive not with things u can find at home to survive
- His best book so far. Creek is an excellent writer who knows his subject from first hand experience & who can organize his information logically & express it succinctly with clarity. He teaches you to grasp the principles behind the methods so that you will be prepared to adapt them to the varied predicaments you may encounter.
This book contains the information presented in his prior book without the delightful interweaving of the Hunger Games examples. It does, however, contain valuable new content. I intend to keep it in my Evac Bag (every year we seem to face real possibilities of needing one due to local fires, & Creek's book on building a Bug of Bag has been invaluable in helping me to assemble what I may need) until I am certain & have assimilated it's contents. There are other excellent good survival authors, but Creek is outstanding among them IMHO. - I have all of Creek Stewart's books so far. This is by far the best informational documentation of survival hacks using simple items that nearly everyone has their house. It is informative yet has a bit of fun and humor, and easy to follow directions. This is my favorite book of Creek Stewart's writings. I love it and it's well worth the cost. in fact I would have paid more for this book.
