How To Stay Alive In The Woods

How To Stay Alive In The Woods is the classic survival guide, now updated, re-illustrated, and published for the first time in a Jungle-proof rubber khaki cover. Anyone who spends time in the wild—walkers, orienteerers, climbers, hunters—can suddenly find themselves dependent on their own resources to survive.

This book offers serious tips and techniques that make starvation in the wilderness virtually impossible when you become lost or stranded, using only the resources of Mother Nature. It provides essential knowledge on various survival aspects: sustenance, the science of staying alive, edible vegetation identification, trapping, and managing thirst and warmth.

Learn about the facts of lighting fires, shelter-making, wilderness homes, clothing, orientation, and staying found. Master skills like knowing where you are, camping, signalling, handling being lost in the woods, ensuring safety, and getting out of trouble.

Additionally, the book covers emergency first aid, backwoods medicine, and survival kits. It includes detailed technical illustrations that show readers exactly what they need to identify and create—edible foods, simple traps, lean-to constructions, fire-building techniques, emergency signals, and navigation methods.
