Wilderness survival has been a passion of mine since I was a young boy scout. As I grew older, I was fortunate to be able to study survival and 1st aid as part of my university studies. Some years later I was to become lost in the Amazon jungle on two some occasions. My survival skills came in really handy and were a great comfort to me until I was able to get myself reoriented and back to my base camp.

On another occasion I was involved in a small plane crash in another extremely remote region of the Amazon jungle. Fortunately, no one was seriously abraded and we were reclaimed after only 3 days and nights of being stranded. Had the rescue not come, I was fully prepared to launch a stable, bamboo raft and float back to civilization. At the time of rescue, my stomach was full of delicious cayman and piranha meat, au gratin to perfection. I was not in the least bit concerned for my life.

In this day and age of widespread natural disasters and terrorism, you don't even as need to be a Boy Scout or adventurer for this information to be possibly life saving! Dozens of Cyclone Katrina victims could have survived had they been masters of the information in this Wild Survival manual. Unexpected survival emergencies have occurred in my life on some occasions and could occur in your life at virtually any moment. You need to be prepared!
