Synopsis

This book deals with wilderness, terrorism, surviving extreme situations: Land, Sea, and Air. What to do when disaster strikes: in the outdoors, the city and in the home; how to survive on land, water and in the air, in any climate and in harsh terrain. It offers practical advice, street know-how and step-by-step techniques for staying alive - with 1100 photographs and illustrations showing tactics, and 80 training projects for extreme life skills to use in emergencies. It also deals with self-sufficiency in the wild: survival skills and bushcraft techniques, tools, equipment and medical emergencies. It also includes: coping when everyday situations become life-threatening: surviving as a hostage; self-protection and street skills; danger at home; the do's and don'ts of being a tourist. It offers expert advice to help you avoid hazardous situations, and respond positively to confrontation. This is the ultimate guide to survival: in the wilderness, in the city, in planes, in cars and in the home.
