Joe O'Leary, a successful survival skills instructor, explains the
fundamental techniques required in a genuine 'wilderness survival
situation' - while at the same time showing you how to enhance any
out-of-doors experience, from a walk in the country to an ambitious
camping expedition. Most types of shelter, animal trap and
fire-lighting technique are variations on a theme. Joe keeps it
simple and describes in straightforward steps what to do to make
yourself safe and comfortable: how to build a shelter that will
really keep you warm, set a trap that will really catch food,
identify plants that will really feed and nourish you and build a
fire that will really light in all weathers. Rather than trying to
cover every eventuality, he concentrates on techniques that can be
applied successfully in most environments: it's better to know a
limited number of skills thoroughly than a whole host of different
variations specific to particular kinds of terrain. Wilderness
survival and bushcraft are thoroughly aspirational - even to
incurable stay-at-homes. This book encourages the values of
improvisation and self-reliance in extreme situations - a form of
escapism enjoyed by most viewers of survival TV programmes.
