That looks like a pretty useful book, Dave! I'll have to look into getting a copy.

Hey dave, thanks for the pictures of the inside of the book. I'm always on the fence about buying books like these because I don't know if it's a rehash of something I already had, but this looks good. On the list it goes.

I've got that book Dave... and the field version that is only 3'' x 4" with waxed pages.... unbelievably they have fit just about everything into it.... minus the filler pages like the SAK pics and many of the redundant photos. Chapters/Indigo Books, baby.

It really is a Great book Colt. Out of all the ones i looked at this was the one for me anyways.
I know there are many to choose from and some are not that great. Ive picked up many that are people
that in my eyes are just jumping on the " Survival " wagon & trying to make a buck, & the books they put out are
not very good if not crappy. Some are just storys about them selfs ?.
Good Choice if you get it Cheers.
