Learn how to survive in the wilderness until help arrives
You need one vital tool to stay alive in a dangerous situation: good
information! So forget everything you think you've learned from your
favorite survival shows on TV and the movies. Outdoor Survival skips
the gimmicks and parlor tricks. It is a straightforward guide for the
everyday person--who most likely won't have perfect conditions or
expensive gear. Author Benjamin Sobieck served as editor for a survival
magazine and lived through a weeklong wilderness survival situation, and
he's sharing his expertise with you.
In most real-world situations, the best strategy is to remain calm, sit
tight, and wait for rescue. This guide covers everything that happens
until help arrives. Learn some easy rules to remember, like 3-3-3 and
S.T.O.P.--and why shelter, fire, and water are top priorities. Discover
time-tested techniques for making yourself easier to find. Topics in
this Adventure Skills Guide include everything from building a shelter
and making a fire to surviving in a vehicle and administering first aid,
as well as advice on knives, emergency kits, and more.
Outdoor Survival provides the information you need in the simplest of
terms. It's conveniently sized to keep in your glove box, backpack, or
back pocket. Remember: You will survive, you will get home, and you will
have a great story. The key is to use good information to keep you safe
and alive.
