How to Stay Alive in the Woods

Bradford Angier's classic wilderness manual, in print since the 1950s because the advice does not expire. Four sections, Sustenance, Warmth, Orientation and Safety, cover finding food without a gun, telling the edible plants from the rest with full color illustrations, building a shelter that actually holds heat, and signaling for help when it comes to that.

We stock it because it reads as well in an armchair as it packs in a bag: plain, confident, and a little bracing.
