Description

What if you were dropped in the woods with little more than a knife, your wits, and the (expectantly warm) shirt on your back? Could you live to tell the tale? If you’d read this book, the answer is yes! 

Survival! It’s one of our most primal fears, most basic needs. What do you do when everything is stripped away with the exception of your will to prevail? In this book, survival expert Tim MacWelch examines how native peoples around the globe and during history have made their own shelter, weapons, tools, and more, and well as clever MacGuyver-esque ideas for the use of anything you might find in your pockets or pack. Whether your goal is to test yourself against nature, be prepared for any catastrophe, or learn more about traditional ways of survival, this is the one book you want.
