Coach House - Guide to Outdoor Survival, 15 x 15 cms

It's unlikely that any of us will actually need survival training. We live relatively stress-free lives in our comfortable homes and rarely venture into the back of beyond. But what would we do, and how would we cope, if the unthinkable happened and our aeroplane crashed in remote wilderness while we were going on holiday, or our cruise ship ran aground, or we became hopelessly lost while out walking in the Highlands, or we were caught in an avalanche while skiing off piste? Thankfully, these situations don't arise very often, but they do happen. Our armed forces are trained to cope in such circumstances, but shouldn't we all have some basic survival training? We never know when we might need it. This book will guide you through everything you need to know about finding water and food, as well as teaching you the best way to make fire, find shelter and escape from many different survival situations. Learn how to survive in the outback of Australia and the jungle of South America, the scorching heat of the Sahara Desert and the bitter cold of the mountains and the poles. You can also re-live some of the most famous survival stories of all time. This book makes a great gift for Father's Day, Birthdays, or Christmas - for the Man in your life.
