I actually have this book!
It's actually pretty decent. Give it a good read through but understand it isn't the only resource you should rely on. I would look up the SAS Survival Handbook, The U.S. Army Field Survival Manual (FM 21-76), The Encyclopedia of Country Living and the Special Operations Forces Medical Handbook are good places to start.
Also look at as many youtube videos as possible. The Pathfinder School on youtube has some great tutorials on making fire. But do not rely purely on education to be able to survive. I recommend training in these skills as much as possible in your own backyard.
DO NOT just go out into the woods for a few days unless you got your shit together. I've had to rescue people like this and its not fun. Learn primitive fire making, hunting, trail marking and following, skinning animals and fish, compass navigation with regards to magnetic declination, etc.
Honestly the list go's on and on. When you think you got your shit together go out for a one night backpacking trip and spend a night out inawoods to see what you need to improve on. Survival is not a clear cut path through the bush, it's something you must continually focus on.
