Overview

With this comprehensive wilderness food guide, you can guarantee your survival and eat well in the wild The simple fact of life is -- everyone has to eat. But what happens if you get lost in the wilderness without supplies to help you survive... Or a natural disaster suddenly cuts you off from modern conveniences and help services... What if a camping, hiking, or a weekend outdoor trip ends up in an emergency where you have to fend for yourself in the great outdoors... The truth is, you only have a limited amount of time before you become just another statistic. Without protein from food, energy levels will quickly plummet. Without vitamins, the immune system weakens and wounds heal slower. And without water, you can only last 3 days. Luckily, living off the land is a technique that has been successfully practiced for centuries. Nature already has everything you need to survive. You just need to know where to look for food, how to identify what will save you and what will kill you, and how to gather it at no risk to your safety. Nature's larder is abundant in all kinds of nourishing treats. But there are also a number of look-alike poisonous species you need to know about. Having the skill to identify the treacherous twins could mean the difference between life and death in a survival situation. Being able to light a fire without a match will not only keep you warm, but it will also help you to disinfect, cook, and enjoy the food you gather. And knowing how to purify water for cooking and drinking purposes will keep you healthy and strong, for as long as your survival situation lasts. In Practical Survival Skills, you will discover: A portable guide with essential information on how to discover the abundance that nature's larder has to offer How to perform the universal edibility test -- discover the poisonous species before it's too late The basic foraging and bushcraft skills for every survivalist, hiker, and outdoor enthusiast out there The easy plant identification technique -- discover edible plant families and know what NOT to forage How to make your own tools and utensils, traps and weapons, and cooking equipment absolutely from scratch Everything you need to know to find, gather, and purify water that's drinkable if you get lost in the wilderness for a long time A comprehensive survival foods index with plants, berries, roots, herbs, and protein sources you can find anywhere around the world And much more. Even if you have no prior knowledge of plants, berries, or herbs, with this guide, you will be able to identify a variety of different species with ease. You will know how to find water, even in the most unthinkable places like the desert or in the ground... and know what not to use as a water alternative. You will also uncover a variety of food sources that will guarantee your survival if no help is on the way. When you prepare today, you invest in a safer tomorrow.

Aptly titled, this highly practical guidebook teaches how to find food supplies in order to survive in the wild. An expert in the fields of foraging, wildcrafting, bushcraft, and wilderness first aid, Logan has assembled a compendium of skills for adventurous readers to hone before heading out into the wild. Focusing on food resources, he lays out clear instructions and advice on topics like how and what to forage, plant identification and safety, emergency cooking-including making a stove and crafting a knife from stone-and that most ancient of challenges, how to build a fire. (He offers six different designs for fires, each applying to different situations.) With thorough yet inviting descriptions, explanations, photos, tips, and recipes, Logan demystifies this aspect of survival-but even as he endeavors to help readers at introductory and intermediate levels of outdoor skills feel confident in the wilderness, he's always clear and frank about the dangers of nature. Though thorough, this guide is highly focused on food, water, and fire, and Logan reminds readers that a range of survival skills are beyond the purview of this book. Logan's knowledge and expertise in plant and animal wildlife are impressive, and his tone is no-nonsense and approachable, coaching readers on identification, trapping, and cooking, in welcome detail. A well-organized index of potential food and edible resources mentioned throughout the book is included and is highly convenient, exemplifying the book's pragmatic design. The general, wide-ranging tips and strategies laid out in Practical Survival Skills are presented engagingly enough to be read from the comfort of home, but the volume is laid out and arranged with the clarity it takes to serve as a survival kit reference work, used in-the-moment while foraging, hunting, and sheltering. This approachable food survival guide is bound to open any curious reader's eyes to the possibilities of life in the wild. Takeaway: An approachable, practical guide to food and fire in the wilds of nature. Great for fans of: Dave Canterbury's Bushcraft 101, Bradford Angier's Hot to Eat in the Woods.
