Trail Sense: Wilderness Survival Guide
A practical survival guide for hikers, backpackers, and campers. This guide covers the essentials of what to do in a survival situation, signaling for help, building a shelter, insulating clothing, finding food and water, starting a fire, and predicting the weather. This guide purposely excludes advanced bushcraft and long term survival skills in an effort to be as practical to the average person as possible.
