Helpful Score: 2

I enjoyed reading this book, and I admire Mr. Ralston's fortitude. I hope that should I be faced with a situation like that, I would have the same courage that he displayed in self rescue.

However. I do not laud his practices in outdoor avocations. I have been an outdoor enthusiast for many, many years, and would never dream of going into the desert so ill prepared. His narcissistic tales of adventure reek of recklessness, ill-preparedness and a case of extreme good fortune. I am surprised that he hadnt found himself in predicament much sooner, and can only hope that he has LEARNED a valuable and weighty lesson for when he ventures out in the future.
