98.6 Degrees: The Art of Keeping Your Ass Alive

Rating:
Summary: Terrible book
Review: This book was a complete waste of my money. Way too much philosophy and theory on why/how the body gets hypothermic and so on with hardly any skills on how to survive. The author's ego was a little too much at times as well. Can't believe he rattled on for hundreds of pages to the point of utter redundancy. Not to mention the sexist drawings of buxom women which were offensive. Ridiculous book!

Rating:
Summary: It's good
Review: This is a good book that tells you how to stay alive. It also tells about what your body would do in certain situations, and how to prevent the bad situations from happening. Also, it tells you how to make things. It tells you a little about how to clean animals so you can eat them. So, over all I would get this book if you don't know a lot about how to survive, and you want to learn how.

Summary: The art of common sense...
Review: We live our lives supported and encased in artificial buildings and cars and have forgotten the basics of keeping alive. Cody Lundin reminds us that we are still encased in bodies that need special care and that "the wilderness" is right outside your window. I thought I knew a lot of this stuff, but Cody refreshed me on the basics and the details in a simple, direct, humorous, and easy to read style. This is a no nonsense book. You don't need to buy a lot of fancy equipment. Cody encourages you to first, use your head, wise advice in any situation. I'm distributing this book to the teenagers in my family and my 83 year old dad.
