Wilderness Survival - Softcover

The most comprehensive and user friendly text on survival.
Wilderness Survival is a straightforward book that focuses on teaching the skills one should know before venturing into the great outdoors. Based on the same principles I taught--while a member of the USAF Survival Instructor Corp--the 182 page text covers the five essentials of survival: Personal Protection (clothing, shelter, and fire); Signaling (manmade and natural), Sustenance (water and food); Navigation (with and without a compass); and Health (psychological, environmental injuries, and traumatic injuries).

In addition to being a valuable resource for all backcountry travelers, Wilderness Survival is the working text for student of my Wilderness Adventure Programs (Simply Survival).

During his intense training to become a US Air Force Survival Instructor, Gregory Davenport learned to adapt to adverse conditions and survive in every global climate. His experience and education are the foundation of this comprehensive, well-organised, and user-friendly guide to staying alive in the wilderness. Using concise explanations and detailed illustrations, Davenport covers the five basic elements of survival providing the reader with complete information on how to stay calm and alive until the arrival of rescue.
