 About the book...

Every year wilderness travellers make one or more mistakes and for some it may even lead to death. You can't predict where or when you might find yourself in a survival situation, and that's why preparation is of paramount importance for all backcountry travellers. This book has been written to aid all backcountry travellers regardless of the climate and environment they might be in.
This comprehensive, well-organised, and user-friendly book gives concise explanation and detailed illustrations, with complete information on the basic principles of wilderness survival.
