Description

John Wiseman split the book into chapters for easier digestion. It covers everything I can think of and more. Do you have to live off the land? The book has an entire chapter on edible plants and tubers. Were you in a horrible plane crash? If you survived unscathed, the book describes how to administer first aid to those in need. Are you running out of supplies and need to get the attention of a passing airplane? The book has an entire section on signaling. Does any of that sound impossible to you since you never travel? The book discusses local dangers particular to the Urban Jungle. When it comes to accidents and natural disasters, the Survival Handbook indeed does cover all grounds. However, it also helps you prepare for anything from a car accident or animal bite to a nuclear explosion! How to patch up a wound There are other Survival books, albeit more specialized, like Bushcraft 101 or those about flora. This one aims to be The Ultimate Guide and covers a lot: The Essentials to bring with you, Strategies to adopt (psychological and perception), Climate and Terrain to adapt, Food including what not to eat and how to cook, Camp Craft and tools, Reading Signs when you’re camped, want to be rescued or are On the Move; Health and its obligatory first aid procedures, Survival at Sea, Rescue etiquette, Urban Survival and self defense methods and finally Disasters, from natural to nuclear.

The SAS survival handbook, first published in 1986. It is a complete course for the Special Air Service to prepare for any type of emergency. It presents real-world strategies for surviving in any type of situation, from accidents and escape procedures, including chemical and nuclear, to successful adaptation to various climates (polar, tropical, desert), to identifying edible plants and making fires. The book is very practical and illustrated with easy to understand line art and diagrams. Any tool that can effectively locate , such as GPS, is essential. If you only rely on the mobile phone to locate in the field, if there is no power or no signal, the function of the mobile phone will be very low. And if you only rely on the compass, you may get lost because the positioning is too rough, or you can't see the sun. Only by knowing your exact latitude and longitude can you understand how far you are from your destination and how much you have passed from your starting point. Knowing where you are now, where you are starting from, and where you are going are the most important issues. The feature of the book which really fascinated is the GLOBAL EDIBLE PLANTS list.. There is a big list of edible, medicinal and extremely poisonous plants in the book.. which colour illustrations.. I never saw this feature in any other survival guide ever..The human body is magical. On the one hand, the human body has stricter requirements on the temperature, humidity and other parameters of the external environment. Therefore, we need to use the limited luggage we carry with us to create these environments as much as possible so that we can survive longer. But on the other hand, people's ability to adapt is extremely strong. Even if we don't reach the best state, we can overcome it for a short time. This kind of spiritual wisdom and adaptability is our ability to achieve more than other creatures. one of the main factors.

The author is none other than John Wiseman, otherwise known as Lofty Wiseman. Becoming, in 1959, at the age of 18, the youngest person pass selection for the SAS (Special Air Force), his compendium of escapades and intense experiences have left him fully qualified for the task of writing a thorough and substantial SAS survival guide. What should be at the foremost of anyone’s plans who intends on staying overnight in the wilderness is their shelter? The survival handbook understands this and provides a wealth of information of the optimal terrain to rest on, shelters to build, and factors to avoid when setting up a shelter for the night. Not forgetting any environment – it caters for every climate such as the bush, forest, desert, and polar regions. The handbook entails how best to utilize animal skins if necessary. John “Lofty” Wiseman Written by former SAS soldier and instructor, John "Lofty" Wiseman, this application brings you the elite training techniques of Britain’s toughest fighting force in the most accessible version ever. Now you can take the world-class survival skills of the SAS with you anywhere in the world – from the peaks of Kilimanjaro to the deserts of Kandahar…or to your closest national park. This book is poorly written, terribly organized, and horribly (I mean HORRIBLY) edited, but I almost gave it four stars. Obviously, you don't read a book like this expecting great literature. The guy who wrote it isn't a writer (and apparently neither were his "editors") -- he's a legit survival expert. The sheer amount of useful information in this book makes it worth owning and worth actually reading. Besides the obvious worst-case-scenario imagination-stimulation, you might actually learn something that could someday save a life or two.

When disaster strikes, it is always good to be prepared for any type of emergency. Even if houses have an “Emergency Kit”, the question is whether the family knows how to use the materials properly. The SAS Survival Handbook is great for learning how to learn with equipment, or nothing but hands. SAS Survival Handbook, written by an ex-SAS, John ‘Lofty’ Wiseman, was written so that anyone can learn how to survive with nothing in any situation or climate. The SAS SURVIVAL MANUAL won acclaim upon its publication in 1986, both because of its clear organization and the illustrious career of the soldier behind it, John "Lofty" Wiseman who served for 26 years and participated in operations all over the world. Having examined a range of survival manuals, I decided to sit down and read this one in depth, and all in all I'm happy I did. There are clear, often colour illustrations for edible and poisonous plants and for tying knots, while the instruction on how to properly butcher a deer or sheep are easier to grasp than in some other manuals. There's a fine section on eating insects that is missing from other guides.
