Description
Staying Alive by Ron Reid-Daly is a practical survival guide focused on surviving in the South African bush and African wilderness. Reid-Daly draws on his experience as a soldier to cover the basic and specialised skills needed in the outdoors, including finding food and water, making fire and fuel, building shelter, first aid, navigation, tracking and map reading.
The book also addresses preventative measures and safety in both rural and urban environments, with a section devoted to urban and rural security. Its practical approach makes it relevant to outdoor instructors, game rangers, farmers, security personnel and others who spend time in remote or potentially hazardous environments. It is also a useful reference for anyone wanting to develop practical wilderness-survival skills specific to southern African conditions.
