As a former Navy SEAL, not only did I enjoy Don Mann’s U.S. Navy SEAL Survival Handbook, but learned several things as well. This book is written by a career Navy SEAL combat medic and life long adventure racer. He knows more about surviving in potentially dangerous situations/nature than anyone I personally know. I look forward to keeping this book readily available—just incase!” —by Stew Smith, Navy SEAL Fitness Author “Don has certainly walked the walk in his years serving in the SEAL teams. Having gone through military survival training (land/water survival, SAR, SERE, etc.) and non-military (winter mountaineering) I can appreciate the depth of knowledge within each section. Surviving life threatening situations requires something unique for each individual. Don articulates a holistic view to help educate and prepare the reader for various scenarios. This publication is a must read for anyone looking to hone their survival skills.” —by Brian Dickinson, ex-USN CSAR Swimmer, Everest Summiteer/Survivor “The Navy SEAL Survival Handbook is a comprehensive guide from an expert with the experience to back it up! The Navy Seal Survival Handbook is a terrific, one stop source foryour survival needs.” —by Randy Spivey, CEO and Founder, Center for Personal Protection and Safety “I’ve been on multiple operational deployments with Don and taken a few recreational adventure trips with him. I assure you that Don knows about what he has written in The Navy SEAL Survival Handbook. I don’t mean theory or practicing survival techniques in protected environment where a time-out can be called and someone will come and provide a little assistance. Don has applied most of the things he describes in the real-world and in risky situations. Heck, he’s probably done all of this stuff but couldn’t share it because of the sensitive nature of his missions! While Don describes skills that are critical to survival, what you really gain from reading this handbook is a sense of the attitude required to be successful in the harsh environments in which America’s secret warriors thrive.” —by John Wright, US Air Force
