The SAS Survival Handbook covers almost everything from essentials on survival, to strategies for coping with any type of disaster. The survival techniques described in the handbook are simple, functional and clever. There are no photos but a lot of clear and easy to understand drawings.
You can among other things, find section with in-deep information about:
Finding and preparing food
What you need to keep going - edible plants, animals and insects - plus animal tracks and techniques for hunting, trapping, fishing and handling the kill.
Camp craft
Gives you knowledge on how to organize your camp, construct the appropriate shelter and create tools. You will find descriptions of many different types of shelters, from arctic to tropical conditions. Do you know different fire-lighting methods? Do you know how to build a good cooking fire? Yukon stove? If not, you will find all the information in the SAS Survival Handbook.
Direction finding
You will learn how to make maps and compasses, plus other ways of direction finding.
Health
First aid priorities, natural medicine and treatment procedures for tropical and other diseases, cold climate hazards and dangerous or poisonous creatures. If no professional medical help is available, this can be lifesaving knowledge.
Future of book reading
Using the 3G cell phone network and important NO wireless bills. Simple to use: no computer, no cables, no syncing. Long battery life. Lighter and thinner than a typical paperback.
What about the screen?
It is not like reading a computer screen. It is more like reading a piece of paper. New technology called electronic paper. Can be read as easily in bright sunlight as in your living room. And you can of course easily change the text size.
So travel light with your library. Read more about your Amazon Kindle.
