The Essential Survival Handbook

The Essential Survival Handbook

by KenGriffiths (Author)

Synopsis

Although we live in an age of computers and high technology, we must still rely on our inner strength and ability to survive day by day. Every year, ordinary people find themselves facing extra-ordinary, life-threatening survival situations brought about by hostile encounters, adverse weather or freak accidents. The methods and techniques used by survivors in remote regions, or on city streets, around the world can easily be learned and adapted to suit every life-threatening situation. Every day travellers surrender a degree of control of their lives to airlines, hotels and foreign regimes. Self-defence in such situations and the psychological approach to combatting physical aggression can redress the balance and help individuals to cope and conquer. In non-military style, The Complete Survival Handbook discusses all the facets of this fascinating subject in great details, and includes tips on the mental and emotional resilience required in the face of adversity. The information here will remain valuable throughout life.
