Lightweight and small enough to fit in your pocket or tucked into your backpack, the Survive series books are the must-have item to keep with you in case you find yourself in a survival situation on the side of a mountain surrounded by steep cliffs, shivering in a snow embankment far from home, or frying in the deadly heat of the afternoon sun in the middle of the desert. Topics covered in the Survive series books include administering basic first-aid, building shelter, finding food and water, and preparing yourself to be mentally tough during the survival situation. While not intended to be 100 percent comprehensive, these books offer all of the absolute essential information needed to get you home safely.
