Have you ever gone camping with your family? Have you ever wondered if you could "make it" on your own in the wilderness even for a few days of off the grid vacation? Did you hear the story about the boy who survived in the wild in North Carolina using the skills he had learned when he read HATCHET? Do you wish you knew those skills?
In these days when our children are signed up for a different sport in every season of the year, it can seem as though some of the other skills go unlearned. Boy Scouts gets put off in favor or soccer or baseball. But, having a few survival skills in your own kit bag can make a big difference in your own sense of self reliance and comfort in new situations.
The Bear Gryll's series of Survival Skills Handbooks is a tremendous resource for teaching your kids and yourself some skills you can rely on in different situations. How do you plan an expedition? How do you track an animal or a person? How would you signal for help in a tough spot?
This is the second book in the series that offers nonfiction, informative, relevant how to instructions you can learn on your own.
Tremendous guides.
