#1: facts and ideas that are blindingly obvious and basic common sense. Anyone with a pulse either knows all these things or understands them implicitly.

#2: basic outdoor and wildlife information, which is presented haphazardly and not always accurately anyway. There are many respected and credentialed authors who cover these areas superbly. Their work is usually worth paying for.

#3: bathos and banality. The observation that cities are big and it's easier to go unnoticed there than in a small town. The observation that people in non-English-speaking countries tend to speak languages other than English. A picture of a deer with the caption pointing out this is a deer.

After I got over being mad at myself for buying this book, my family and I laughed ourselves sick as we passed it around and took turns reading the silliest parts. I tip my hat to Mr. Abago for finding a clever way to make money without evidence of any special knowledge, skill, or talent. What a great country we live in!

I am a teenager and I sometimes screw up so the cops come looking for me, well I really gave them a run for their money one day, fact is they are still looking for me. I own it all to this book, it kept one more mark off my record. I recommend this and the first one to anyone and everyone. Thank you Kenn Abaygo.


Pretty Good Stuff, but not 100% perfect   August 29, 1998

The book offers some pretty good advice for anyone trying to 'disappear', but it's not perfect either. For example, when referencing hiding in Norway (where I live), the author points out that few people in Norway speak English. In reality, it's hard to find someone in Norway who DOESN'T speak English!
