Survival situations are today more commonplace as holiday destinations and hobbies become increasingly adventurous. The SAS and Elite Forces Military Survival Handbook is a pocket-sized guide to coping in wilderness environments. Using the tips and training techniques honed over the years by the world’s elite special forces, this book provides vital information on a broad range of survival scenarios.

Beginning with the basics of survival, from mental readiness to first aid, and essential survival equipment to personal fitness, the book moves on to cover every fundamental skill of wilderness survival, whether that means finding water or making fire, or constructing shelters and hunting animals for food. However, some survival situations are sought out by adventurers or extreme tourists, and the book also describes ways to stay alive in the world’s harshest climates, whether it is the polar regions or the world’s deserts. Finally the book describes the survival techniques needed to handle natural disasters, including flooding, hurricanes, tornadoes, mudslides, drought, fire, and tsunamis — events that can strike without warning in a world of increasing climatic instability.

Survival techniques are illustrated with clear and easy-to-follow line drawings. The pocket-sized format ensures that The SAS and Elite Forces Military Survival Handbook can be taken into the wild. Using expert knowledge practised by elite soldiers combined with the latest techniques, The SAS and Elite Forces Military Survival Handbook is a vital aid to living in a dangerous world.
