How to survive in the wild This practical guide to staying alive and
healthy in the wilderness covers all the essential skills required to
cope with whatever nature has to throw at you - from dehydrating deserts
to frozen tundra and from barren mountainsides to ancient woodlands. It
explains every aspect of the four fundamental physical survival
requirements: shelter, water, fire and food. Traditional bushcraft
skills are fully illustrated: making hunting tools and natural cordage,
flint-napping, essential pottery and basketry, primitive and modern
trapping and fishing techniques, plus wild food cooking. With over 650
illustrations and 75 projects, this instruction manual will help you to
master the art of mental and physical survival, and will appeal to the
general public as well as more experienced explorers and adventurers.
