    Even though I am well into my senior years and served for 4 years in the U.S. Navy more than 60 years ago, I am still interested in anything to do with the martial arts, warrior fitness, law enforcement tactics, guns, knives, survival techniques, and especially anything written about the U.S. NAVY SEALS, even though I was never a SEAL myself.

    This is why when I saw this incredible 345-pages soft cover book, (SEAL survival Guide: A Navy Seal’s secrets to surviving any disaster by Cade Courtley), on Amazon for a bargain price I decided to purchase it. As always, the delivery service was quick and efficient.

    I loved this book from the very first page to the end. This book should be studied and read by anyone who is interested in not becoming a victim of circumstances but doing things where you are in control. It is a book about you and your loved one's safety and survival. As someone who has also taught many of these same principles to my fellow police officers and students in the past, the information taught in this book is very informative and will be of essential and practical value to anyone who wants to think and act like a survival warrior.

    The four parts in this fantastic book covers an enormous amount of material and this short review cannot do this book justice. Part, one teaches you about the SEAL mindset and survival psychology (my favorite topic). The second part, which is the largest, deals with numerous survival scenarios. The third part is all about gear and improvised weapons. The final part gives practical information on survival medicine.

    This excellent book provides specific and practical tips on how to deal with a wide range of incidents such as survival on ships, active shooter advice, airplane crashes, animal attacks, auto accidents, bombs, burglary and robbery, carjacking, fighting and numerous other incidents.

    I loved this book and highly recommend it for anyone who desires to take control of their lives and be ready for a multiple of things that could happen in our often-precarious life. I have read numerous books in the past about developing the warrior mindset and survival, and this in my opinion is the best out of all of them.

    This is an informative book dealing with "survival" tips for the regular citizen. Cade Courtley explains many scenarios one may encounter in life....the ones that you might need a few survival tips to get yourself out of or deal with. Bare in mind that the majority of these tips you will hopefully never need and after a few months might even forgot what you read, nevertheless all his info is useful. Also bare in mind that you will not be uplifted in spirit while reading this book as it deals with the stark reality of YOU vs. the Bad Guys and will spark your "situational awareness" up a few notches!! The funniest tip comes toward the end of the book where he explains what to pack in your "Go To bag".....he states to not forget to pack his book as well.

    I had heard the author on the radio, and thought this would be a great book for my adult sons. All of them live in places with inclement weather, and all of them like outdoor activities. I thought that the book would cover situations like getting stuck in a show bank overnight, but the book covers ALL survival scenarios--at least, all that I can think of--and many more. Be sure to go to the preview on Amazon & check out the Table of Contents.

    When my sons got the book, they asked when I was going to disarm a hand grenade or be involved in a high-speed chase. (You never know what grandma might do...) These are some of the more dramatic incidents that the author addresses, but the author does address more mundane issues like getting stuck in the desert, falling through the ice & auto accidents.

    One of the best parts of the book are the side bars. One is "Never Hesitate to Ask Questions That Could Save Your Life"--It's a paragraph long, but the salient point is--"Don't let the fear of what others think of you become an impediment to survival." Hmmmm....think 9-11 when people stayed in the buildings because they were told to.

    The info in this book is so current that the author addresses the Costa Concordia cruise ship disaster and mall shootings.

    The Table of contents is in alphabetical order by incident, and therefore serves as a quick & easy index! If I'm involved in the middle of a biochemical attack, I want to be able to quickly look up some practical tips. Of course, I'll be carrying my Seal Survival Guide with me! Grandma's got you covered.

    Buy it. Put it in the bathroom. Learn it. Live.

    Reviewed in Germany on December 26, 2013
    Das Handbuch für den postapokalyptischen Alltag! Der Nutzen des Buchs liegt darin, dass Überlebensstratetien und -kenntnisse aufgezeigt werden, die nicht irgendwo in einem exotischen Dschungel stattfinden sollen. Menschengemachten Schwierigkeiten geht man daher am besten aus dem Weg, indem man sie versucht zu vermeiden. A''''löcher lauern überall und sind nicht unbedingt deine Freunde. Durchaus Lesenswert!
