People today are so far removed from living off the land that if anything goes wrong they don't know where to begin. But with the current interest in outdoor living and with increased travel in the wilderness, everyone should be familiar with the techniques and methods of taking care of oneself in the wilderness. Everyone going camping or just out for an afternoon of hiking should at least know the basic techniques of survival: from how to overcome cold, hunger and panic, to constructing shelters, making fires and signals, and building traps and snares. The book covers the collection of edible plants, butchering game, cooking methods for fish and game, and making camp implements. A part of the book is devoted to Survival Psychology, an important factor in survival. There is a detailed section on first aid and a chapter on using maps and compasses and finding one's way through understanding nature.
Many of the ideas in the book are derived from living with Eskimo and Indian guides. The author has also used his many years experience in survival training and research to elaborate and explain the practical techniques of the Indians and Eskimos.
