Learn to SURVIVE from the Survivorman !
|
From outdoor adventurer and "Survivorman" himself, Les Stroud.
This book addresses the basic needs of surviving in the outdoors. Much like Stroud's television series, the book attempts to educate the reader on how to react to an emergency situation resulting in being lost or stranded in the wilderness. He covers topics on preparedness and planning, before delving into short-term and long-term solutions should you find yourself needing to keep safe and alive while waiting for rescue.
Shelter, Fire, Water, Food, Emergency First Aid and more, all presented in a straight-forward easy to understand manner.
Fan's of Les Stroud's adventure episodes from the frozen tundra of the Arctic to the plains of Africa and Amazon jungle and all points in between will enjoy this.
He not only debunks some popular survival techniques, but presents his honest opinions of what works and what has failed in the past.
Stroud refers to specific techniques that have been successfully used during the filming of his week-long survival episodes, quotes the teachers he's learned from along the way, and presents real-life case study scenarios to present the reader with usable options to plan their own survival.
There is even a section on how to survive at home or in your vehicle should disaster strike.
Checklists to create your own survival kits for various situations are included, as are blank pages that can be used as firestarting tinder !
Les Stroud's style is instructional and conversational, and the book is a great read. Survival, like First-Aid can be a dry topic, but Survive! makes a great introduction to the subject.
