Description

by Larry J. Wells and Roger D. Giles

You Can Stay Alive is a book that can be read and applied by people of all ages—youth and adults alike. Every hunter should carry a copy in his camper. It deserves a place in every hiker’s, skier’s and fisherman’s knapsack. Boy Scout troops should have several copies in the troop library, and every adult leader should take a copy with him on all outdoor Scouting activities. The book should be tucked away in the cyclist’s and snowmobiler’s tool kit, and wise drivers will see that a copy is kept in the family car. Emergencies happen unexpectedly, and the place where You Can Stay Alive is needed is at the emergency site!

Don’t procrastinate—read this book thoroughly and then put it in your emergency kit—it may some day help to save the life of someone you love.This book can save your life! It tells how to meet the challenges of outdoor survival in any typical emergency that might arise, no matter whether the location is in the mountains or in desert terrain. It focuses on the basics: maintaining body temperature; providing shelter, fire, water and food; and avoiding hazards. It also provides careful instruction in the techniques of wilderness travel, search and rescue procedures, and proper preparation of equipment and clothing. This material is presented in a concise, usable manner that can be effectively utilized in times of emergency. The authors are skilled woodsmen who know the outdoors, and who have taught college-level survival courses for various universities. Their approach is practical, because they’ve encountered and dealt with the problems of many emergency situations. The years of training and experience they’ve acquired make them highly qualified to write this important book.
