Alone in the Wild

The Essentials of Wilderness Survival

By: Marcus Duke

Narrated by: Kevin Pierce

You did not plan to get lost - no one ever does - but an unexpected weather event, an injury or poor navigation has lead you off the trail and caused you to become isolated, perhaps miles from civilization... are you prepared to save your own life?

Alone in the Wild by Marcus Duke is all about giving you the tools you'll need to get yourself out of trouble when things go bad.

What happens if you find yourself stranded or lost, perhaps when your backpack contained only enough supplies for the few hours you expected to be gone? The wilderness can be a dangerous place and knowing the basics of wilderness survival is absolutely essential before heading out on any outdoors adventure!

Good basic overview

This book gives an idea of what you need to know to survive in the wild. The details that are given are valuable, such as the procedure for testing out whether wild plants are edible or not, various methods for building a fire, and the most popular ways of gathering water. The narrator's voice was very pleasant to listen to, also.

Alone In the Wild

What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?

Focus on a being lost scenario and not drifting off topic. ( Like perhaps a 72 hour lost hunter.)

Would you ever listen to anything by Marcus Duke again?

No

Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Kevin Pierce?

Kevin Pierce does just fine.

What character would you cut from Alone in the Wild?

There are no characters.

Any additional comments?

I think Marcus needs more dirt time.
