"Crammed full of preparation tips, manual skills, navigation techniques, and helpful visuals, this is your essential guide for surviving the great outdoors. Written by Colin Towell, a former SAS Combat Survival Instructor, The Survival Handbook contains all you need to get fit, gear up, and go.

You'll discover how to read a map, navigate with or without a compass, light a fire, and make a raft or sledge. You'll learn how to build a shelter, read the weather, cross challenging terrain, treat insect and animal bites, recognise edible and poisonous plants, and cook freshly caught meat.
