About this title

Synopsis

Outdoor enthusiasts can easily be caught unaware by accidental injury, equipment failure, climate changes such as rain or snow, and other unexpected situations. In a clear, concise style Alan Fry covers what people need to know before starting out, including:

-Choosing the appropriate clothing and footwear
--Starting and managing fire
-Building emergency shelter
-Administering first aid
-Obtaining water and food
-Signaling for help
-Staying calm until help arrives

This revised edition of Wilderness Survival Handbook reflects the best of both modern information and native lore from Fry's decades of living and travelling in the outdoors.

About the Author

Alan Fry grew up on a bush ranch in central British Columbia and spent years in various northern outposts. While writing the original edition of this book, he lived year-round in a tepee outside Whitehorse in the Yukon Territory. Now he divides his time between a house in Whitehorse and a log retreat that he built himself near Lake Laberge, where the tepee frame still stands.
