The Complete Illustrated Handbook of Survival

The book brings together all the practical tips and techniques needed to have a successful camping adventure when things go right, and all the skills you'll need to rely on when things go wrong. Emergency treatments, signalling and orienteering, finding food, shelter and water, telling poisonous from life-saving plants, reading animal tracks and cloud signs - a wide range of potentially life-saving skills are covered in this complete guide to wilderness survival. There are also features on fires, floods, car & air crashes and terrorism, and an extensive training course in personal self-defence techniques and simple martial arts.
