I liked how the comic explains （text and drawing） how to catch and clean a fish， pack for camping， create a shelter， start a camp fire， and wrap a sprained ankle。

I actually found this one helpful。 I live in the woods。 Some of this stuff is helpful to know like what plants are poisonous or how to protect yourself from ticks。

Two kids are spending the weekend with their grandpa who decides to take them to a remote fishing spot。 He teaches them how to pack for a trip to a wilderness area， how to fish， how to make a fire and prepare fish for eating， basic knife and fire safety， how to prepare clean drinking water， how to poop in the woods， how to do emergency first aid when one of them slips and twists an ankle， and then how to build a shelter that is warm and water proof when the ankle prevents them from getting back Two kids are spending the weekend with their grandpa who decides to take them to a remote fishing spot。 He teaches them how to pack for a trip to a wilderness area， how to fish， how to make a fire and prepare fish for eating， basic knife and fire safety， how to prepare clean drinking water， how to poop in the woods， how to do emergency first aid when one of them slips and twists an ankle， and then how to build a shelter that is warm and water proof when the ankle prevents them from getting back to the car before dark。This guide is focused on a wet and cool climate。 It talks about hypothermia but not heat stroke， talks about tips to stay warm and dry， but not how to stay cool and preserve water。 What it does cover， though， it does well。 It does a great， detailed job teaching how to build a fire safely and a waterproof shelter。 It also did a very thorough job showing how to set up a fishing line and fish。 I am not someone who fishes， but I feel like I could at least give it a good attempt with these instructions。 I really applaud Mike Lawrence for thinking of a way to talk about and show how to go bathroom in the woods safely that wasn’t awkward。 （Grandpa demonstrates poop poses fully clothed for his worried grandson。） As someone who is first aid certified and the go-to first aid person on many school trips when the school nurse isn’t available， I thought the guide for taping a sprained ankle was a bit overkill。 I tape ankles on a regular basis， and though what they showed may be “textbook” in real life you probably don’t need or want that much tape。 （You can do more damage taking off that much tape if you don’t use pre-wrap， and if their foot swells more it may become more painful and even dangerous over several hours cutting off blood supply。 But I’m sure to be safe they have to show the overkill method so there’s no possibility of being accused of showing a bad method。） Also， the kids should have put Grandpa's ankle in the stream for a bit to reduce swelling。 They may not have had ice， but most streams are cold enough to mitigate the swelling。 Overall， though， this was well done and is a very entertaining way to learn some important outdoor survival and camping skills。Notes on content [based on ARC]: No language issues or sexual content。 The preparing of a fish is shown without being gory。 I received an ARC of this title from the publisher through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review。 。。。more
