Description

The SAS operate worldwide, often living in the most hostile and isolated environments. In doing so, SAS soldiers are confronted by situations of extreme danger, not just from the enemy, but from their surroundings - yet they survive. SAS soldiers are amongst the most highly skilled survival experts in the world and this book allows the reader to share the knowledge which keeps them alive and fit for combat whilst coping with the worst that Mother Nature can throw at them. With clearly laid out text and illustrations, it explains how to find water, how to light and maintain a fire, how to find food, how to build a shelter and every other survival skill needed in almost any conceivable survival situation.
