Well-known outdoor expert Dave Canterbury offers basic techniques and essential information for primitive wilderness survival in this new heavy-duty pocket guide series from Waterford Press. Perfect for throwing into an overnight pack or brushing up on skills before an expedition, these waterproof, rip-proof guides can be used on their own or in conjunction with one another, similar to the method used in Canterbury’s unprecedented Pathfinder System. Covering everything from what to include in a survival kit and improvised tracking techniques to signaling for rescue and building shelter, this collection is ideal for outdoor adventurers of any skill level and provides indispensable wilderness information for all situations.
Guidelines for thinking like a search-and-rescue team, signaling for rescue, and creating a proper game plan are outlined in this vital survival guide. With information on the most important elements for being rescued, including how to be better visible to rescuers through contrast and movement and what clues to leave when on the move, this is a must-have resource.
Signaling knowledge is as important for your survival as shelter, fire and water. This guide will teach you how to be visible through contrast and movement to your rescuers, as well as how to leave clues to be followed if you are on the move. Thinking like a Search-and-Rescue team member might save your life. Co-authored by noted survival expert and woodsman Dave Canterbury, this is one of a 10-part series on survival skills.
