THE ULTIMATE GUIDE TO SURVIVING ANYWHERE
SAS Survival Guide by John 'Lofty' Wiseman is the definitive handbook for surviving any situation, anywhere in the world. Authored by a former SAS (Special Air Service) soldier with over 26 years of experience, this guide encapsulates the field-tested advice needed to tackle the most extreme conditions. Whether you're an outdoor enthusiast, an adventure traveller, or someone who wants to be prepared for any emergency, this book serves as your essential survival toolkit.
Small enough to fit in your pocket, yet comprehensive in scope, SAS Survival Guide covers everything from basic techniques to advanced survival skills. Beginning with the crucial subject of preparation, Wiseman divulges the secrets to assembling the most up-to-date and resilient kit. Readers will gain insight into the necessary gear and how to be ready for anything, whether they are embarking on a wilderness expedition or ensuring their home emergency supplies are adequate.
The navigation section equips you with both traditional and modern methods to find your way through unfamiliar terrain. Learn to use a map and compass, understand the stars, and master the latest GPS technology. These skills are crucial for anyone venturing off the beaten path or finding themselves in a disorienting urban environment.
Food and health are vitally important no matter where you are. Wiseman teaches how to locate and prepare food in the wild, from identifying edible plants to trapping animals. Additionally, this section provides invaluable information on first aid, allowing you to treat injuries and avoid diseases, a must-have knowledge in any survival situation.
The guide's safety and security strategies will arm you with the knowledge to recognise and respond to dangerous situations. From self-defence techniques to understanding and mitigating threats, you’ll learn how to protect yourself and others, maintaining safety on both land and sea.
Finally, the disaster survival section offers critical advice on handling environmental emergencies such as flash floods, fires, hurricanes, and earthquakes. Wiseman's experience provides practical steps to take when faced with nature's most destructive forces, making sure you’re equipped to survive and assist others during crises.
With SAS Survival Guide, no challenge is insurmountable. This monumental handbook presents the ultimate guide to outliving the toughest scenarios, making it an indispensable resource for anyone eager to acquire life-saving knowledge and skills.
Gain confidence, enhance your survival instincts, and ensure your safety with the expertise of John 'Lofty' Wiseman and the SAS Survival Guide.
