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.

Lots of good info in here on how to use everyday items to improve your chances to stay alive, survive longer & thrive. Also lots of tidbits of knowledge to make things easier in rough times, or just while camping & enjoying the great outdoors.

Review “Survival Hacks: Over 200 Ways to use everyday items for Wilderness Survival Creek Stewart“Survival Hacks” by Creek Stewart is one of the most useful, simple, real survival books I have seen. Every one of the 200 hacks is something you can use for alternate purposes to improve your chance of survival your quality of life when surviving. Creek divides his book into chapters 1) Shelter 2) Water 3) Fire 4) food 5) staying healthy, 6) gear 7) forward movement 8) every day carry. The book is one long series of simple, inexpensive, alternate means of successfully achieving success in each of these critical areas.For example: easy ways to make tinder. Bike tube slingshot. Bow from skis. Shipping envelopes for water proof stuff sacks. drinking straws filled with petroleum jelly cotton balls. The list goes on and on.This book is not for the beginner prepper as basic knowledge and basic gear are still necessary.For the preppers: Think into the future. How long will your best prepared bug out bag last and keep you going. These are ways to extend that time period, and enable you to take advantage of the debris of the post SHTF environment while developing a long, long term survival set up in the real SHTF world. These are ways to make your life more comfortable and easier with the stuff you will find out there in the post SHTF urban or wilderness environment.For the wilderness survivalist: These are tricks you can prepare at home and take with you to make your wilderness trek easier and more comfortable. These are things you can stuff into your “possibles bag” to save you when you get lost. Or, if you want to follow Tom Brown (last chapter of “The Tracker”) entering the woods truly and literally naked except for a knife, these tricks will help you understand what you need to do to survive a full year of 4 hard seasons alone.Great Book, Creek. Truly useful and practical.

Its a good book, its about time something like this came out. It explains everything in a clear concise manner if your ever caught up in a situation somewhere without the proper necessities. When your stranded alone in the wilderness at night, lost and tired with no food, water, phone, nor anything else like I was just recently, the only thing you can rely on at that point is prayer and what you've learned in training, and the tips in this book can be a big help.
