Description
Living, not just surviving, by choice in the wild can be a rewarding experience. This easy-to-use guide looks beyond the fundamentals of survival and examines the art of living long-term in the wilderness. Hunting techniques, meat preservation, clothing improvisation, shelter design, and tool- and basket-making are just a few of the basic skills described. Expert advice, clear prose, and detailed illustrations combine to make this book the authoritative text on primitive living. Gregory Davenport, a nine year member of the USAF, is the creator of Simply Survival, an adventure based program that focuses on wilderness survival and self improvement. A certified physician assistant and primary health provider, Davenport has trained military personnel from around the world in survival techniques and was featured during the Persian Gulf War on 48 Hours and the BBC.
