The Survival Guide

The survival manual teaches basic techniques for survival in the wilderness. If you crash-land in the mountains, in the jungle or in the desert, how do you survive? How do you find food, how do you care for the injured and how do you get back to civilization alive? – But the book also teaches how to survive at home if, for example, the electricity and water stop working.
The Survival Guide is based on the experiences of British Army paratroopers – soldiers who are dropped behind enemy lines with minimal equipment. This is of course extreme. But even if you just want to have a bit of an adventurous wilderness holiday, the knowledge in the Survival Guide is invaluable in a critical situation.
The survival manual has sold 150,000 copies in Sweden and is available here in a new, revised edition.
