The Worst-Case Scenario Survival Handbook: Man Skills: (Survival Guide for Men, Book Gifts for Men, Cool Gifts for Men)

I honestly wasn’t sure what to expect but this book is not only beautiful quality it is both practical and hilarious. A must have for any manly man who may have concerns about anything from suits, facial hair, surviving in the wilderness, or being chased by a pack of rapid dogs while jogging. Highly recommend!

This was a gift for my brother-in-law, who already has plenty of man skills, and he loves it. It is great for starting discussions on many subjects, and it holds a place of high rank in the bathroom, which I understand is a great compliment. The book is actually full of very interesting and useful information, though some of the "worst cases" are nothing any of us would likely experience. Still, it is wonderful for initiating debate on any number of subjects. I would suggest using it as a party game, having people take in turn reading a survival tip and then having discussion to follow. Great fodder for brain exercise. And don't let the title fool you. There are plenty of us women with "man" skills, and it is a good gift for anyone. Highly recommended.

My wife and I are the survivalist types- we stock food, ammunition, water and medical supplies, we keep our kids fit and teach them useful skills etc... I bought this book because it came up on a search and since there weren't too many reviews, or even a detailed listing, I thought it was another survivalist book. When I opened the book, I was surprised, pleasantly, that it was not. The book format is similar to one of those "quote of the day" desk calenders, and it doesn't seem to have much of a cohesive theme to it, just a bunch of quasi-useful information scattered across a few hundred pages. The topics included instructions for peeing in a moving vehicle, tactful communication with your wife/girlfriend, how to make a toast at a party, how to avoid getting canned, avoiding being mauled by a dog, and how to crash land a plane on water. I imagine the narrator as Michael, the character in the show "The Office." It almost reads as if the information is meant to be taken seriously, but it's so wrong that it's funny. If I had known this book fell under the humor category, I probably wouldn't have picked it up, but I'm glad I did because I can depend on getting a laugh when I need one every time I open this one up. Definitely will look to buy more for gifts for my friends on birthdays.

This book cracks me up. The how-tos on things like masking a fart, survive a hot-dog eating contest, and driving a tank will make even the most stoic of the bunch bust out with laughter. This was a great Dirty Santa gift and was good reading for everyone in attendance.

Fun solutions to odd scenarios, some very helpful. Good book to put on coffee table. Good conversation starter. You won't be disappointed.

This is the perfect gift for guys! I gave out three this Christmas to different aged men ranging from 28 to 62 years old. It was a hit for each one. With chapters like how to crash land an airplane, how to jump from a moving motorcycle to a moving car, how to identify implants, or how to pee when stuck in traffic, no matter what chapter they turned to they had to keep showing everyone.

I gave this book to my 20 something future son-in-law for Christmas. I figured he would need skills like "how to apologize when you don't know what you've done wrong" and "emergency phrases for when you're in the dog house", once he marries my daughter. This book is very funny with some useful info mixed in ("how to find your way without a compass" and useful emergency items to keep in the trunk of your car). And of course if you ever need to know how to outwit a pack of wolves or treat a rat bite, this is the book for you.

He loved it

Funny and practical things inside.

However, I am now relieved there's a way out of those as well.
