Pakket werd beweerd door colis prive geleverd te zijn aan bewoner, terwijl wij die dagen niet thuis waren en pakket is dus nog niet ontvangen. Graag nooit meer werken met colis prive. Met post BE of post NL is dit nooit gebeurd.

Extremely detailed but mostly not applicable
This book covers a lot of things with regard to survival. The author definitely knows what he is talking about and some ideas/improvements are really fascinating (using a condom as a very small water pouch, lol...). I found it interesting just for the purpose of learning because there is so much content I had no clue about earlier. However, most of this is realistically not going to be applicable. First, remembering or even executing everything explained in the book is close to impossible and should be filtered for the most likely scenarios. Since most of us are not going to enter the arctic, jungle or desert (or anything too distant from civilization), this slims down the applicable stuff massively. In all this information, it can be difficult to filter the applicable from the rest. For example, the author explains various hunting weapons and how to build them - starting with bows (very difficult) but also including spears (much easier too build and handle). Including just the spear might have made things easier. Some content is questionable in its inclusion like the parts about how to protect oneself from spying and basic cybersecurity, because despite its accuracy, it simply goes beyond the scope of the book. Finally, I think the book ignored one of the most likely disasters: A blackout. Despite all of this, the sheer amount of quality content deserves nothing less than 5 stars - just do not expect everything to be applicable.

A book with very useful content, but not very practical for carrying.
Due to its extensive content, it's a reference book for specific topics. The book is heavy because of the quality of its paper. It could have been printed on lighter paper, which would have made it easier to carry on long walks.

Great book!
ENG If you're searching for a comprehensive survival guide, look no further – this book is the best! It covers every possible emergency situation and contains hundreds of detailed illustrations (including colorful images of edible and poisonous plants, dangerous animals, insects, and more), all printed on good quality paper. I've seldom come across a more complete and intriguing book in any field. The only downside is its weight, as it adds an extra kilo to your backpack. So, be prepared and do your homework before embarking on any adventure. FR Si vous êtes à la recherche d'un livre sur la survie, ne cherchez pas plus loin, celui-ci est le meilleur ! Il couvre toutes les situations d'urgence possibles et est rempli d'illustrations détaillés (y compris des images en couleur de plantes comestibles et toxiques, d'animaux et d'insectes dangereux, etc.), tout sur un papier de bonne qualité. J'ai rarement vu un livre aussi complet et intéressant dans n'importe quel domaine. Le seul défaut : il est très lourd. Un kilo supplémentaire dans un sac à dos fait une grande différence, alors assurez-vous de bien vous préparer avant de vous lancer dans n'importe quelle aventure.
