How do you survive a bear attack? Do you know how to properly perform CPR? What if you need to treat a gunshot wound, or better yet... clean an oven?


Never before has there been a book that provides the answers to such a plethora of bewildering and bedazzling life challenges that are likely to come your way. Whether you’re 17 or 70, The Indispensable Book of Practical Life Skills is your personal road map to becoming a fully functioning adult—if not a super hero! It’s the only do-it-yourself survival guide you’re likely to need. In fact, it’s the only do-it-yourself survival guide!
