SURVIVAL: A “proven” comprehensive survivalmanual with concise explanations, pictures, and detailedillustrations; this is an essential book for anyone. The content ofthis manual is unmatched in depth; knowledge is drawn from hundredsof years, thousands of man hours, and first hand operationalexperience. If you are a trainer, this is the corner stone on whichto build a training program. Learning life saving skills willreduce fear of the unknown and give you self-confidence. Psychologyis a key ingredient in having the will to survive and is essential.Increase your chances of survival by planning, preparation, andpractice. Survivors have related feelings of apathy andhelplessness because they could not medically treat themselves. Oneperson with a fair amount of basic medical knowledge can make adifference in the lives of many. Three essentials of survival:water, food, and shelter-are prioritized according to the estimateof the actual situation. In some areas, your need for shelter maytake precedence over your need for food and possibly even your needfor water. For example, prolonged exposure to cold can causeexcessive fatigue and weakness (exhaustion). Fire craft teaches youthe ability to start a fire; you can cook, preserve food, providewarmth, purify water, sterilize bandages, signal for rescue, andproduce tools & weapons. We can live for weeks without food,but it may take days or weeks to determine what is safe to eat andto trap animals in the area. Plants can provide you with medicines,chemicals for poisoning fish, preserving animal hides. Smalleranimals actually present more of a threat to you than largeanimals. To compensate for their size, nature has given many smallanimals weapons such as fangs and stingers to defend themselves.Each year, a few people are bitten/attacked by sharks, alligators,and bears. However, each year more victims die from bites byrelatively small venomous snakes. Even more victims die fromallergic reactions to bee stings. Imagine being in a survivalsituation without any weapons, tools, or equipment. You wouldprobably feel helpless, but with the proper knowledge and skills,you can easily improvise needed items. In a survival situation, youmay have to cross a water obstacle. It may be in the form of ariver, a lake, a bog, or quicksand. Whatever the obstacle, you needto know how to cross it safely. If you are not proficient in usinga map and compass, you must take the steps to gain this skill.There are several methods by which you can determine direction byusing the sun and the stars. Nuclear, chemical, and biological(NBC) man-made hazards have become potential realities in moderntimes. The potential of these hazards intensifies the problems ofsurvival because of the serious dangers posed by either radioactivefallout or contamination. If you are subjected to any of theeffects of nuclear, chemical, or biological event, the survivalprocedures recommended in this book may save your life.
