With the current Covid-19 scare and social distancing phenomenon occurring worldwide I thought I might talk about survival.
It seems everyone is hoarding supplies-the main items being toilet paper and hand sanitizer.
People are panicking and acting as if doomsday was around the corner.
But, what if something happened that really caused doomsday? What if suddenly there was a short supply of food, money was worthless and people had to fend for themselves? How would they survive?
Campers, outdoor enthusiasts, hunters, explorers and survivalists have learned to deal with living off the land and surviving even in the harshest conditions with little more than their wits and whatever they have available around them.
In author Joe Vogel’s book: The Global Outdoor Survival Basic To Advanced Guide Skills For Every Environment, published by Schiffer Publishing, readers are given first-hand knowledge of how to survive in any environment.
Every temperate environment is explored along with a variety of terrains and weather conditions.
Readers learn how to forage for food, obtain drinking water, build shelters, stay warm, build a fire, survive an animal attack or venomous bite or sting, how to navigate back to civilization and so much more.
Sections talk about developing certain survival skills like using a knife, preparing animals and plants for food, when to travel, how to avoid injuries and how to collect and prepare an emergency pack should you ever find yourself stranded or lost.
The book gives step by step instructions, includes photographs and is so organized that finding information for a certain situations is quick and easy.
It’s a great book to keep at home, in your car, when traveling and whenever you venture outdoors for recreation or for an extended stay.
