SEAL Survival Guide: A Navy SEAL's Secrets to Surviving Any Disaster

While most other books focus on tactics and equipment, this one focuses on thinking and planning - getting into the right mindset to deal with different challenges and problems. Of course, it also has some material on tactics and equipment. The real-world stories were helpful and entertaining. Overall, this was a great read with a lot of good information.

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. Rating: 5 Stars. Joseph J.

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.

"Seal Survival Guide: A Navy SEAL's Secrets to Surviving Any Disaster" by Cade Courtley, host of "Surviving Disaster," is a good general book on survival. Courtley provides tips and suggestions for surviving many dangerous situations, some of which include active shooters, animal attacks, bombs, earthquakes, fires, floods, highjackings, hurricanes, going to jail, wilderness survival, riots, stalkers, torture, and more. However, I think the most important parts of this book are when he talks about the SEAL mindset and survival psychology. Mindset is so important and Courtley does a good job of stressing the kind of mindset needed to survive. Because this is a "general" book on survival, some topics are not as in depth as some may like, and one would be wise to seek out additional information on topics that one may be more prone to experience. For example, the chapter on fighting is very brief, and while the book has some tips, there are many other resources that provide more information on fighting. Same can go for other topics too. For instance, the last two parts of the book contain brief chapters on gear, firearms, improvised weapons and survival medicine. There are entire books on these topics, so if you need more information, add to your library or take some classes. With that said, for a general book on survival, this is a good one. It is an easy read, contains some good advice and tips, and has some interesting stories from Courtley's time in the service. As someone who studies and teaches survival measures too, I liked reading this book. It reminded me of things, reinforced others, and gave me another view on some topics. It is one of many resources I have, and I'm glad I added it to my survival resource library. Because when things go bad, you need to be prepared, and this book is one step toward being more prepared and ready for whatever comes your way. Read it and others, be prepared, and stay safe.

Very good book. It is not a full how to book but will give the short story of what to do in many situations. He pulls no punches but for most people who have no clue that most of these things can happen, it will save your life if that situation comes up. Well put together.

Con buenas reseñas y dibujos ilustrativos para la supervivencia, es recomendable, tengo este y los SAS, estuve en el ejército y está tomando por un soldado de los SEAL

Loved it! The author knows his stuff and what to do in case of emergencies and does so in simplistic terms. Make sure you get this book and it's also a great gift idea.

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!
