This essential guide to staying alive and healthy in the wilderness covers all the necessary skills required to cope with whatever nature has to throw at you from dehydrating deserts to frozen tundra and from barren mountainsides to ancient woodlands. It explains every aspect of the four fundamental physical survival requirements of shelter, water, fire and food. Traditional bushcraft skills are fully illustrated: making hunting tools and natural cordage, flint knapping, essential pottery and basketry, primitive and modern rapping and fishing techniques, plus wild food cooking. With over 650 illustrations and 75 practical projects, this is the ultimate instruction manual for mastering the art of mental and physical survival, and will appeal to the general public as well as more experienced explorers and adventurers. Anthonio Akkermans first started learning outdoor survival skills during his teenage years and continued practising bushcraft skills, gaining more knowledge from teachers around the globe. He now runs Wild-Live, which teaches people how to live naturally and in harmony with nature.
