Summary
Prepare for all the worst case scenarios mother earth throws at you with Mother Nature is Not Trying to Kill You - the only survival kit you need to overcome wildlife, natural disasters, and everything else outdoors.
Survive the unexpected. Statistically, you're more likely to die from a vending machine than a shark. But, Rob Nelson knows many shark survivors. His college girlfriend was attacked by a crocodile and his roommate, a grizzly bear. His wife was sucked by a wave down a blowhole, he was left stranded at sea after a storm sank his sailboat, and the list goes on and on. To Rob, these "improbable" altercations are "random acts of nature," and he's learned how to survive them.
On knots, poisonous plants, and natural disasters. Featuring 52 challenges you can encounter in the wilderness, this survival guide is your year-long crash course for ultimate disaster management. Whether you're preparing for a moose attack or a nuclear fallout, Mother Nature is Not Trying to Kill You enables you to confront the natural world with skill and confidence.
This wilderness survival guidebook also includes pop culture examples like Jaws and The Revenant; nature and science-packed stories and narratives; diagrams, survival tips, and more!

A great listen
I listened to this more out of general interest rather than because it is ever likely I’ll bump into the creatures mentioned in the book however I found it all really interesting and as I listened to most of it while out walking found myself looking over my shoulder for bears, snakes and over dangers that couldn’t possibly be there! Which goes some way to explain how engaging the storytelling in the book is!
Well worth a listen if you like animals, the outdoors or survival situations.

Meh!
I was expecting more after seeing most of of Robs videos. There is not much to the NOT part of the title as most of the book is just a list of bits of nature that can kill you. I found much of the content obvious: keep away from predator animals; keep your distance form large prey animals; don't spook mothers with kids; don't eat things you don't know are edible. It felt repetitive and frankly non inspiring.

Utter rubbish
Hard copy Might be useful for starting a fire if you knew how to light one, sadly no information here on how to do that. Or anything else of any use.
