Organized by climate and terrain (desert, sea, arctic, 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. You'll also learn which plants are safe to eat and which are deadly poisonous, as well as which animals are dangerous in survival situations.Whether building a fire on a frozen mountainside or seeking drinking water in a barren desert, The Encyclopedia of Survival Techniques will help you survive all of nature's obstacles.
