    Comments about The Mountaineers Books Don't Die Out There - Playing Cards:

    This is a useful compendium of survival tips ... medical, shelter, signaling and so on. The cards don't feel as substantial as most playing cards, but should be good for a few trips into the woods after some careful reading (and adjusting of plans & provisions) at home. My eyes are not what I would like them to be, so it is nice that the corner markings are bold. Also, the illustrations and explanations are first class.

    I would not only recommend this to a friend, I would buy it for them.

    We enjoyed the color-coded survival tips and the dual use. They were a bit heavy but we still took them along with us. Overall, I would not camp or travel without them.

            Most hikers I know take cards along to pass the time if they are confined to their tent or winding down in the evening. These cards provide light weight entertainment while also providing useful information / reminders.

                        I bought these before a camping trip. I like multi use items.
                        These cards have a lot of information in them.
                        Unfortunately you can't call them a "quick" reference.
                        But once you start playing with the cards it will give you more exposure to the information.
