How to Survive Anything, Anywhere
Chris McNab, 2004

In How to Survive Anything, Anywhere, leading survival writer Chris McNab has assembled the know-how of dozens of military and outdoors experts to create the definitive handbook for overcoming perilous situations in any environment, from the mountain wilderness to the urban jungle.

Each tactic is presented in easy-to-follow steps, accompanied by helpful illustrations that teach readers how to:
* Find and construct shelters
* Sustain life anywhere on land or at sea
* Hunt, trap, and fish with jerry-rigged tools
* Build fires or escape them
* Negotiate arctic, desert, jungle, or mountain terrain
* Avoid or fend off a wild animal attack
* Locate underground water
* Navigate a trackless wilderness
* Think like a true survivor--even when things are at their worst

The book also offers a complete section on urban survival strategies, including staying safe on public transportation, what to do in terrorist attacks, and how to engage in unarmed combat.
