Elite Forces Survival Guides: Survive in the Mountains with the US Rangers and Army Mountain Divison

Chris McNab

Mountains present tough challenges for the survivor. Altitude sickness, avalanches and rockfalls, crevases, huge drops – these are just a few dangers that the mountain survivor must face. The U.S. Army Rangers and 10th Mountain Division have trained themselves to meet these challenges. They are world experts in mountain survival. They know how to ski and climb, how to treat climbing injuries, how to find food and water on barren slopes, and how to signal for help during blizzards. In this book they share their techniques, and teach you some of the skills that will help you stay alive in mountainous surroundings.
