This combines simple, easy to use instructions on basic survival actions that any hiker or camper can use with a great color-photo index and directions to edible and poisonous plants, and a first aid guide. If you only want to carry one little book, this is a great one to choose!
I previously owned this well prepared reference work on edible & poisonous plants of western North America. The survival information occupying the first 20+ pages is quite weak on useful information to actually survive under winter conditions; poor (i.e. cold & inefficient) shelter concepts, unclear knot photos, fails to credit the Roycroft emergency snowshoe design (see instead Northern Bushcraft by Mors Kochanski). However the plant information is extremely well laid out with a concise & complete format complimented by excellent photos in a field portable size. Highly recommended for wilderness users with an interest in useful plants. I lost my original copy, found it here (Amazon is amazing!) and immediately ordered 2 to replace it.

NBPFG has good information and I fully appreciated the pictures of the different plants. It was written in such a manner that makes it easy to understand for Teens and Pre-teens who have a desire to learn about hiking and camping.
