The Worst-Case Scenario Survival Handbook: Travel Audiobook

" Haha, most of the scenarios in here truly are 'worst-case', while others are a bit more practical. It was fun to read through this book, though I'm not sure how much I'd remember if I ever WERE in one of these dire situations (such as, caught in a riptide, needing to treat a severed limb, how to climb out of a well, how to ram a barricade, foiling a UFO udbuction, surviving a hostage situation, and escaping from a car that is hanging over a cliff). My favorite part might be the few pages in the back titles 'Foreign Emergancy Phrases': a list of phrases translated into four languages, such as 'Stop, thief!', 'Hello, I have been seriously wounded', 'May I borrow a towel to wipe of the blood?', 'May I use your belt as a tourniquet', and 'You will never make me talk.' "

" One of those diverting reads to pass five minutes.... i.e. when you're in the smallest room in the house. Ahem. "

" Interesting in a couple places, but not altogether worth my time or yours. Why not rename it, "Common Sense: Don't Travel to Places Where You're Going to Have Both UFO Encounters and Get Robbed by Romnichels." Oh, and don't drive off a cliff. Duh? Wasteful reading...very pulpy. "

" For those times when you need to figure out how to cross a piranha-infested river. "

" just for fun. entertaining... maybe applicable someday :) "

" some of the things are quite useful~~ "

" Filled with awesome advice about surviving in bleak situations. A must read. "

" Could be useful; you never know. "

" Kind of interesting as bathroom reading. It was worth the price of free I got it for. "

" Hum... perhaps if one applies these helpful guides to life in general... one will be much less prone to bouts of panic. "

" In preparation for reading, "The Zombie Survival Guide," (which I bought recently and will open up in a little while), I pulled this off my shelf and read through it again. Very amusing and hey, a few of these things might actually happen to you! "

" entertaining - good for learning how to avoid being abducted by aliens, jumping from moving trains, etc. very helpful. "

" Obviously tongue-in-cheek, with super cute illustrations. A fun way to kill half an hour, whether one is travelling or not. "

" Read this book before you leave on your next vacation, whether you are just traveling within your home state or going to the most isolated spot on earth. Good stuff--funny, yet for real. "

" Funny and useful, succeeds in making me feel safer, although I do question the accuracy. "

" Informative (how to escape from the trunk of a car; what to do if you are being mugged) - to entertaining (how to foil an alien abduction or cross a river filled with pirahnnas) - enjoyable, quick read. "

" Yikes! So many things that can go wrong when you travel! I feel like I need to tattoo the emergency plane landing lesson on my arm so I will remember what to do in event of an emergency. "

" Should I be picked up by a UFO on my travels or need to leap from a moving train, I am prepared to handle the situation. "

" Audiobook is read by the perfectly cast Mr. Burt Reynolds. "

" Still funny. "

" okay book. interesting and informative. "

" It is always good to know how to cross a piranha-infested river, stop a runaway train, survive a volcanic eruption and foil a UFO abduction. "

" its one of those books thats just in case. "

" More useless-to-me and interesting things. "

" Fun little read. Exactly what you think, but a little more interesting than that. "

" Thank God I bought this book - else I wouldn't have survived the plane crash, or the resulting volcanic eruption. Whew! "

" Informative (how to escape from the trunk of a car; what to do if you are being mugged) - to entertaining (how to foil an alien abduction or cross a river filled with pirahnnas) - enjoyable, quick read. "

" I can now survive ANYTHING! You gotta a book that teaches you how to say "may I borrow a towel to wipe up the blood" and "you will never make me talk" in FOUR languages! "

" The one and only survival book a Queen of Getting Lost requires. You gotta realise the Survival Handbooks contain a good portion of surreal scenarios... so approach with a good sense of humour. "

" We had flooding this year. I found this in an old work box. I LOVED to read this on the plane when headed out for an international trip. Enjoyable and helpful too! "
