This book was great fun and a bit of a reminisce. Developing (un)common sense and learning what to expect and how to overcome and continue to learn is an invaluable asset to all. The author cheerfully recounts some of his many mistakes in the hope that some readers will not find the need to repeat them. Despite it's definite entertainment level, this book provides much useful knowledge for historical re-enactors, SHTFers, and the usual batch of enthusiastic campers. The tale begins in Michigan and spends much time in the desert southwest with some experiences in Central America. It also seems to be the teaser to get readers involved in the activities as well as an intro to other books he has written on the subject. This is a good thing. Whether the reader is an active camper or of the armchair variety, fun will be had and (un)common sense stimulated!
Narrator Jack is educational where needed, droll where indicated, and generally seems to have had as much fun narrating as we have in listening.
Far more than just a how-to manual

This is a good book to listen to about survival at it's most basic.What was one of the most memorable moments of Life Under Open Skies: Adventures in Bushcraft?
When the author told us the truth about eating cactus. I don't think I would ever want to try that. I just thought good to know.Which scene was your favorite?
Tony the author tells us about many adventures in the outback of North America. I guess I had a more romantic view of how one could survive in our wild lands. Tony most differently had changed my mind. I do how ever believe that more America's should learn to be able to live without a grocery store from week to week. After listening to the book. I keep thinking about what would people do if they were without the comforts of city life. So I will say this by listening to Tony's book you will pick up some ideas of what to do and not to for survival. I felt that the author's true goal was to tell his story and inform the listener to the truth of the great out doors adventure.If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

Jack Chekijian has a great voice for this type of audio book. I have listened to many of his books that he has narrated and he always delivers and clear and easy to listen to voice. I received this audio book in exchange for a review.Survival

The canyon flood in the story was frightening and I loved the 'Five Scorpion Night' chapter. Another thing I really liked about this book was closer to the end where it talked about buckskin. First, I love venison and second, I LOVE buckskin.
This audiobook is about what it really takes to survive. It's not staged with props. It's the real deal. I hope Tony Nester writes more books in this vein. It was really enjoyable and had my attention right away.
While listening, I had to frequently remind myself that Jack Chekijian was reading Tony Nester's book. This was another example of author/narrator being a terrific match. It was perfect.
Audiobook received in exchange for an honest review.
I love, love, loved this story!
