The Practical Bushcraft Survival GuideHow to Find Food, Water, Shelter & Fire in the Wilderness and SurviveSurvival situations often don't start off as such, like a day hike or a fishing trip. It is only when things go wrong that you are suddenly faced with life and death survival situation. Therefore, you want to plan for the unexpected. Before you set off into the woods, take the time to go through all contingencies.Disasters often don't come with advance notice, nor does it send you any early warning signs. So learning how to survive in the wilderness can truly save you and your family's life. After I started hiking, backpacking, and camping out for many years in 17 different countries, I have mastered the art of survival in the woods. Because I have done it for so long, and I will tell you, it was a 'learn as I go' process for me. But for you, it may not be that easy. Why may you ask? What if there is a severe natural or man-made disaster happens suddenly, what if a war breaks out? Would you be ready?I have been teaching hiking, camping, and backpacking for many years throughout many countries, but only within the last three years, a group of people in Columbia asked me to teach them survival tactics in the woods. That question opened my mind and eyes wide open; I knew why they had asked me to teach them, but what if similar civil and or political unrest or war breaks out in our country, how many of us would be ready? More importantly, how many of us would actually survive?I believe every one of us needs to know at least the basics of wilderness survival like what bushcraft skills you need, what bushcraft gears and supplies you will require along with how to navigate yourself in the wilderness. This way, if you ever need it, you will have the knowledge. Along with the knowledge, let's make a survival pack ready just in case. In that pack, we can put a few pieces of necessary gear and some must-have items. Once you do these two things (first gather the basic knowledge of survival, second get the emergency pack ready), I believe you will sleep better at night.At a quick glance, this is what you will master after reading this book: How to Get Started in Bushcraft4 Survival Basics in the woods10 Bushcraft Skills to MasterTips and tricks to Bushcraft survivalBushcraft Tools and Gears you needHow to Find and treat Water (Source Water from Plants, Trees & Underground)How to find and prepare food ( Trapping, Gathering & Cooking)How to Catch Fish (Barehand, Trotline, Spearfishing, Fish Traps)How to make Snare, Traps to Catch AnimalsHow to start a Fire without Lighters or MatchesHow to Build both long and short term SheltersBushcraft Safety and Emergency First Aid (How to use medicinal herbs)How to Navigate your way around the wilderness (Map and Compass reading Basics)How to Practice and get prepared for Wilderness SurvivalActivities you can do in the woodsMoney-saving tips on Bushcraft Survival GearList of items you need to take with youLastly, I know there are dozens of similar books out there, so you may ask why this one?

SHTF Bug Out Survival Skills HandbookHow to Survive Any Disaster An SHTF preparation, disaster preparation, or any emergency preparation are not something you do in a day or a week. It is not as simple as reading a book, then buying a few cans of food, a flashlight, and some BOB bags. It is much more than that. It is a mindset where your only goal is to safeguard you and your family from any disaster that happens in your area for years to come.The shock of a larger scale disaster such as an earthquake, tornado, hurricane, or a chemical or biological attack on humanity can happen in a matter of seconds. Once any of these disasters happen, the reaction can sometimes be even fatal. But being prepared for anything comes your way can give you the peace of mind and train your brain to act instead of just being in the "shock and awe" state of mind.While your first reactions aren't necessarily wrong, a lot of factors impact your pre-written emergency plan. However, what does matter is that you act. In a post-SHTF scenario, you want to take action rather than finding out what happened. Learning what is going on around you is of secondary concern to survival. Focus on what your gut is telling you, not what the news is saying.Surviving any disaster requires well thought out planning, a good stockpile of gear and supplies, training and preparation along with a cool calm and collective mindset to know what action to take and what not to take. A wrong decision in this situation can be fatal.But even with all the planning and stockpile of gear, how you actually live through a true major scale attack or a disaster is what we talk about in this book. In this third and final book, I lay out some specific decisions you have to make along with some specific actions you will have to take to survive the disaster.When I taught survival course, the three most asked questions my students asked: What do I do right after a disaster strikes?Should I bug in or bug out?Should I stay in the city or go to a remote location?One thing to remember before you get anxious to find the answers to these questions that there is no "one size fits all" survival solution when facing a major scale natural or unnatural disaster.My goal is to prepare your mind to the degree where you can assess your own surroundings and have the ability to determine which solution is the right one for you. I give you all the options and tell you about which ones are for what situation. I also tell you the pros and cons of each, but ultimately it is your decision to pick the right ones for you.After reading this book, you will know: Answers to the three questions aboveWhat to do on the first hour of SHTFSelf-defense & security50 ways to become a 'grey man.'What is urban survivalWhat and how to do urban foraging3 must-follow threat assessments3 steps to be aware of your surroundingsHow to protect yourself from various injuriesHow to maintain high morale5 tips to dealing with PTSDHow to barter and winHow to survive a plane crashHow to survive a tornadoHow to survive a tsunamiHow to survive a nuclear attackLet's get to work.

For one that falls. From the time I awoke with no memory of myself before or ... whatever. I just awoke. Everything was strange. Felt strange. Felt.... Oh crap I have no memory of anything. My name, my age of where I am or where I was. But I feel safe. I feel warm and that I will be taken care of so why, why am I trying to leave? Wanting to leave? Am I so stupid that I even want to leave? I know that I am a girl. A female. I have all the parts. How do I explain that something is missing when I don't know what is missing? How do I explain that I feel warm, safe and that I want to be here when I don't know your language? I 'talk' with my gestures, with my eyes and ... with my lips. Then there is the rage. How do I explain it? I strike out and find that I (even though I don't understand it) that I can harm another. I do not want to harm him...... I love him. Will he understand that? Will he trust me? Will I be able to protect him when 'they' find me and I do know that someone (something) is coming. I just wish I knew what.
