      Comments about Lifeview Outdoors Prepared To Survive - DVD:

      Great video, covers a wide range of relevant topics address many different skill levels. The video interviews a range of experts who give advice from their viewpoint and experience. My 8 y/o daughter and I watched these; as an experienced outdoorsman, I learned a few tricks and she liked the fact that they showed an example of a young girl facing being lost and how she was prepared. Overall it is a great video and covers topics that a typical person would face during a crisis situation.

        Comments about Lifeview Outdoors Prepared To Survive - DVD:

        The videos stress the importance of being prepared, even if simply going for a quick hike. One never knows what could happen out in nature. There were close-ups of products that were helpful. The demonstrations were straightforward.

        I can't wait to try some of the stuff out. I plan on starting in my own backyard. I figure if I'm going to shell out the money for the video & other survival equipment, I better learn how to apply that knowledge. If I have trouble in my own backyard on a beautiful sunny day, I'll really be in for it if I do it for the first time out in the wilderness in the pouring rain.

        The ranger's stories on disc two really hit things home for me. Be prepared: it's better to have & not need, than need & not have. I only hope I never "need" to apply the information I've learned.

            We used this DVD to provide an experts view during a Boy Scout Wilderness Survival meritbadge course. Many meritbadge counselors can train what to do out of a book but few have experienced it. This DVD kept the scouts interest and provided additional information not found in the book

              Comments about Lifeview Outdoors Prepared To Survive - DVD:

              This video gives essential information for staying safe in the wilderness (or just a short family hike). It is presented in a clear, concise manner with no hyperbole. The developers and presenters are seasoned survival instructors. I highly recommend this video for anyone planning to spend time in the outdoors. This is not just for "Rambo" types; it takes only one small mishap to turn a casual day trip into an emergency--be prepared by having the proper equipment and knowing how to use it.
