Survival - Outer Life in the Wild (463)

Countless travelers flock to remote wilderness areas in search of recreation and adventure. But time and time again, even the smallest mistake leads to serious emergencies. This book shows how professional survival training can help you master emergency situations or prevent them directly through preventive measures. Risk management, safety-relevant tour planning and preventing accidents on tour are just as much part of the content as strategies for emergencies that have already occurred. The author shows how to light a warming fire, build a protective shelter, treat water and find food, and provides instructions for effective emergency signals, navigation tips and advice on survival gear.
