A Pocketbook for Hiking and Survival
Dr Peter T Scott
This book contains most of the skills and knowledge needed for safe hiking into the wild. It covers much of the equipment needed, methods of navigation, reading the weather and how to use basic food, water and shelter. It is designed as a ready reference guide to be carried in the pocket or backpack as there are many skills and useful pieces of information which may be forgotten otherwise. Of particular use is the chapter on communications and rescue as it gives many of the signals needed for such an emergency.
