Keller's Outdoor Survival Guide

A survival guide that's also a good read! Even if you never take along the survival tools recommended in this book, reading these powerful accounts of actual, life-or-death situations will teach you, above all, the importance of thinking clearly and accurately assessing your priorities. That alone could save your life. Go the next step and equip yourself according to the author's advice, and you can consider yourself well-prepared. Emergency Medical Technician William Keller draws from over 20 years of experience working Search and Rescue in the Rocky Mountains, as well as his own encounters with survival situations. He addresses finding water, using a map and compass, fire-starting, shelter, first aid, survival in a car and more, explained clearly and simply. Real-life stories make it fascinating reading, and reinforce the author's message that anything can happen to anyone at any time, and the prepared mind is as important as the prepared pack.
