How to Survive in the Woods Andrew J Slater

Wilderness survival is one of the most overlooked set of skills in society today. We spend so much time learning how to master computers, machines, geometry, etc. But those skills won't do much good if you are trying to preserve your life in the wilderness. From having the ability to find water to having the ability to start a fire, there are many important aspects to wilderness survival. Over the years, many people have gotten lost in the woods and became stranded there. Many of these incidents ended with fatalities. A person who has had time to prepare will be in a much different situation than a person who simply got lost in the woods without an adequate supply of equipment. For this reason, this book will cover survival strategies for both situations. It will cover: - Water storage- How to find water in the wilderness- How to collect water- How to minimize water contamination in the wilderness- How to purify water in the wilderness- How to start a fire without matches or a lighter- How to generate a smoke signal- How to set up a trap and snare- How to improve your chances of survival in the wilderness- How to use a compass- and more
