About this deal

A book about surviving in the most desperate conditions has to be written by someone who knows their stuff, who has faired the most perilous conditions and come out the other side. The SAS Survival Handbook isn’t something you can make up; you can’t fabricate and babble about its contents. Survival essentials The Ultimate Guide to Surviving Anywhere 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..

Got this book on the very next day my government declared a country wide quarantine. It was quite a blessing if I may say. The book is so thorough that I wish there were words to describe it. The SAS Survival Handbook even goes into things like forest fires or tsunamis. It covers the most important aspects of living through anything life can throw at you. If you can read and live in society, you can get something out of this book.Loft Wiseman served for 26 years in the SAS, and as Head of Operational Research in 22nd SAS, he founded the SAS Counter-Terrorist Team, known as the guys who sieged the Iranian Embassy in 1980. Under an emergency shelter 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 Food and Health – Finding resources in your environment, feeding yourself, healing yourself and avoiding disease.

First aid: A comprehensive course in emergency/wilderness medicine, including how to maximize survival in any climate or when injured. 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.You may just use its contents to impress the kids in the woods and unknowingly spark their fascination with the natural world. With this book, John Wiseman seeks to provide the reader with the knowledge to survive any wilderness survival or disaster situation. It details basic survival skills, like how to build a fire, to more complex and situation-specific skills, like how to take shelter while indoors during an earthquake. On the flip side, you don’t want to go too cheap or just plain get the wrong thing. There is no reason to get some free guide written by someone nobody has heard of and doesn’t know what they are writing about. You want something reliable that gives sound, practical survival advice.

The amount of money you spend on something like a survival guide shouldn’t blow out your entire budget. A guide is important, but there is a wide range of price points from free to courses that cost thousands of dollars- so there is something for every budget. Which means, if you don’t have this book yet, its one of the most worthy investments you can make. You not only learn something for the betterment of those you love, but also those around you, starting with staying at home, reading. 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 books deal with not just the practical, but also the mental approach to survival in any situation. I am a outdoor kind of guy.. It is very essential for me to learn survival tactics incase of emergency and all.. 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.
