Les Stroud Survive!
Host of Survivorman
From the sun-scorched sands of the Kalahari to the
snake-infested jungles of the Amazon, Les Stroud has made a life of
surviving in the harshest—and most remote—regions on Earth.
Now, the
creator, producer, and host of the hit television program Survivorman
transfers his decades of knowledge and experience to the pages of
Survive!, a practical guide that gives everyday readers a no-nonsense
look at the real world of survival.
Stroud offers readers the
essential skills and tactics necessary to endure in any corner of the globe,
along with a wealth of insider information born of his own experiences in
the outdoors and unavailable in any other book. Readers will learn:
How to make a survival shelter and why a lean-to is largely a waste of
time.
Why survival kits are important, and why you should make your own.
Where to find water and why drinking contaminated water is sometimes
warranted.
How to locate and trap small animals and why the notion of
tracking and hunting large game is largely a pipe dream.
Whether seasoned
in the outdoor arts or new to adventuring, all readers will learn something
from Survive!. Stroud's many colorful anecdotes and cut-to-the-chase
philosophy not only make for an entertaining read, but also enhance anyone's
ability to focus on the main goal when everything else has gone
wrong—survival.
