Synopsis

This resource is for the outdoor survivalists or future armed forces "wannabes" of our readership. It is the standard issue handbook for the U.S. Special Operations forces and pilots. Your young survivalists will love learning how prevent infections in wounds, build fires, find water, make weapons and tools with minimal resources, scavenge for food, survive in various climes (desert, tropics, arctic conditions, etc.), and so much more. Lots of simple illustrations and succinct text explain the vital information on self-reliance and survival. Some of the descriptions are rather graphic (particularly in the wound treatment section), so this is not for the squeamish reader, by any means. (The thought of using maggots in an open wound to prevent infection gives me the willies, but losing a limb to gangrene is not a pleasant thought either!) It is by far one of the (if not the) most comprehensive resources we've found on outdoor survival.
