The Encyclopedia of Survival Techniques gives you everything you need to know about staying alive in the wild. Learn where to find water in desert; how to build shelters from locally available materials that will keep out the elements but will also be well ventilated; which plants are safe to eat and which are deadly; and which animals are dangerous in survival situations. Organized by climate and terrain (desert, sea, arctic climate, mountain, and jungle), The Encyclopedia of Survival Techniques is packed with over two hundred line drawings that provide step-by-step guidance to mastering survival situations, from making tools and preserving food in the wild to finding your way back to civilization. Key topics include constructing shelters; building traps, tools, and rafts; wilderness first aid (from mending broken bones to emergency surgery); rope craft and knots; and how to survive natural disasters. Whether trying to build a fire on a frozen mountainside or seeking drinking water in a barren desert, you won't want to be without The Encyclopedia of Survival Techniques to survive all of nature's obstacles. A comprehensive guidebook to outdoor survival, in any terrain, in any climate, in any part of the world. Rather brief treatments of some rather important topics. For example it seems unlikely that the 12 pages allocated to survival in the desert would be that useful, including such information as esoteric water finding techniques borrowed from the Kalahari Bushmen (the reader is cautioned that the technique may take some time to master). Chapters cover survival at sea, on mountains, in polar regions, in the tropics, and during natural disasters. Other topics include trapping and fishing, navigation and signalling, firemaking, tools and weapons, rafts and river crossings, and ropes and knots. 20170526.
