Description
Practical advice on the equipment and techniques needed for wilderness travel and adventure sports, from hiking and off-road cycling to rock climbing, canoeing, kayaking, and horseback riding. The ultimate lowdown on successful camping, including selecting the right gear and equipment, choosing a site, pitching your tent, building campfires, cooking in the open, using a map and compass, and reading the weather. Step-by-step bushcraft techniques include how to make a shelter, do life-saving first aid, tie knots, start a fire without matches, track and trap wild animals, and skin a deer for clothing and food. How to cope with and survive potentially life-threatening situations, from capsizing in a kayak to attacks by bears, sudden avalanches or earthquakes, and threats to personal safety from other people. -- Adapted from Page [4] cover.
