This book has drawing for the many pieces of information it shares. I was a rock climbing instructor and this information is acceptable. Proper use of the information requires comprehensive reading and correctly applying the knowledge.
Good book which I'll share with others.

Emergency Roping and Bouldering is part of the author's Escape, Evasion, and Survival Series. As he says, when faced with danger, we have two main options: flight or fight. This book examines aspects of flight, specifically how to use rope in an emergency and how to rock climb without technical equipment. Other manuals in the series study escape and evasion, urban and wilderness survival, water rescue, and wilderness first aid.
Sam Fury's survival skills focus on "minimalism," surviving with little or no special equipment. In this brief manual, the only equipment is a good rope. Of course, to get the most out of a rope, one has to be able to tie a good knot. The author maintains that ten fundamental knots are all that are required, so he begins there. With careful instructions and helpful illustrations, the reader is soon at home with an array of knots that will also be helpful in ordinary situations where survival isn't at risk. Then Fury takes it a step further, teaching us how to use a rope to cross a river, rappel down a rock face, even create a gill net to catch food.
From there he teaches us the basic skills of "bouldering," or rock-climbing without special gear. He describes the "how to" with step-by-step instructions and illustrations to clarify his points.
I must confess, I hope I am never in an emergency situation where I must rappel down a cliff, but now I think I might actually be able to do it and live! Thank you, Sam Fury!
