You might believe that those contestants on Survivor have it easy and that it’s your turn to test the wilderness. If that’s the case, you’ll need to include the US Army Survival Manual. Originally commissioned by the U.S. Army to train special forces in all-climate, all-terrain survival tactics, this manual has been researched and tested by experts. This new, updated edition instructs you on how to deal with the kinds of contingencies you could face on your next outdoor adventure. Easy-to-follow, easy-to-use illustrated instructions show you how to make tools, find food, take advantage of natural shelter, determine direction without a compass, recognize poisonous plants and dangerous animals, and even learn how to administer survival medicine! When you're packing for that next outdoor adventure, be sure to include this manual -- because there's a lot of common sense in the saying, "Be Prepared."
