description: People today are so far removed from living off the land that if anything goes wrong they don't know where to begin. But everyone should at least know the basic techniques of from how to overcome cold, hunger and panic, to constructing shelters, making fires and signals, and building traps and snares. This 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 ones way through understanding nature. Many of the ideas in the book are derived from living with Eskimo and Indian guides.
