Will Jones: How to Survive in the Wild, Gebunden

Klappentext

Like the idea of getting out into the wild but don't know where to start? Packed with tips and advice from the author and leading survivalists, this approachable introductory guide takes you on a step-by-step journey through the basics of what you need to go exploring.

There aren't many of us who crave the extreme tests of endurance that would mean having to truly survive in the wild. However, the sense of adventure that comes with setting out into the unknown, be that a camping trip, a hike or even a night camping in a field, can set the heart racing. Can I build a shelter? Can I get a fire started? Even these relatively small challenges can seem daunting when stepping out of the 21st-century comfort zone. But a little survivalist know-how can go a long way to making the difference between success and failure on even the shortest trip. That is what this book provides.

It includes no-nonsense instructions on most things that you might want to know (although heaven forbid you actually have to catch a squirrel for dinner). You'll find a wealth of practical advice on all things outdoors: where to go, what to expect and the equipment that you'll need, as well as historic and modern techniques for fire lighting, shelter building, hunting and foraging. Most importantly, it overflows with reasons to get outside and enjoy the natural world.
