Time-tested advice on emergency preparedness. An official publication of the Boy Scouts of America! Each year hundreds of outdoor enthusiasts find themselves in an unexpected outdoor emergency. They get lost, injured, or stranded. Cut off from the rest of the world, they have to depend upon their survival skills to survive. For most people, thanks to modern communications such as cell phones, satellite messengers, and personal locator beacons PLB , it is merely a sobering two- or three-hour adventure.
However, for some who did not take the proper precautions before they left home or do not have survival skills, it can end in tragedy. Since , the Boy Scouts of America has helped build the future leaders of this country by combining educational activities and lifelong values with fun. The BSA is committed to training youth in responsible citizenship, character development, and self-reliance through participation in a wide range of outdoor activities.
Will the survivors have what it takes to survive the end of the world or will they lose the battle for their lives? Score: 3. At Camp Win-Kee-Noo, you can earn merit patches for "paying attention" and "following directions," but not for any of the things Bug excels at--stuff like armpit farting and being wiggly. Know-it-all Abner insists that if Bigfoot were real, he would be listed in the "Terrible Things to Avoid" section of their official Swamp Scout survival guide.
Leave it to Bug to write his own guide, jam-packed with tips and tricks for making the most mischief out of camp. Funny, irreverent, fast-paced, and packed with comic illustrations, Bug's second outing will keep young readers in stiches and possibly out of poison ivy. Addresses every conceivable disaster scenario. From basic campcraft and navigation to fear management and strategies for coping with any type of disaster, this complete course includes: Being prepared: Understanding basic survival skills, like reading the weather, and preparation essentials, such as a pocket survival kit.
Making camp: Finding the best location, constructing the appropriate shelter, organizing camp, staying warm, and creating tools. Food: What to eat, what to avoid, where to find it, and how to prepare it. Disaster survival: How to react in the face of natural disasters and hostile situations—and how to survive if all services and supplies are cut off.
Self-defense: Arming yourself with basic hand-to-hand combat techniques. Finding suitable materials almost anywhere presents no problem, but considerable organisation may be required to collect the material. For the actual structure and thatching, good teamwork is required. The final hut, with its promise of long periods of protection and shelter, is the result of combination of head work and hands. With this comes the inward reward of having created a weather-proof hut out of nothing except the natural materials garnered from the surrounding area.
As far as is known this the first time a collection of improvised releases and with this snares and traps has ever been published. Some of these are potential man-killers, developed by soldiers in jungle warfare to protect themselves.
The knowledge of these possible man-killers must be treated with as much respect as a loaded firearm. They are included because they could be lifesavers for man stranded in hostile country. These of course are essential to sustain life.
In all areas, except the most arid, food and water in sufficient quantities are available, but the fear in many people's minds is that the food they find may be poisonous, or the water polluted.
This handbook establishes safe principles for recognising foods which are edible and safe, and ways to overcome possible contamination of water, no matter how badly it may appear polluted. The search for, and recognition of edible foods sharpens and develops three of man's senses, sight, taste and smell. On the use of these depends the searcher's success in finding food and water. Under some conditions the traveller may have been totally unprepared and on his ability to travel and arrive may depend his ultimate survival.
In this book a little known or used ability of the eyes to stereoscope aerial or other pairs of photographs, and view the subject in true three dimensions, unaided by any optical equipment, has been included. Under some conditions this knowledge may be useful. Apart from this, the exercise itself is a valuable and exiting experience in the use of the eyes. There are many suggestions in this book that will provide real opportunities for adventure, which could be simply doing ordinary things differently.
His rationale was that the reader was more inclined to take a 40 page handbook with him into the wilds than a page book. Sailors probably did more to develop order in the tying of knots, because for them it was necessary not only to tie securely but also to be able to untie, often in the dark and under conditions of bad weather and with rain-tightened ropes. In bushcraft work probably half a dozen knots would suffice, but knots and knotting have a fascination for many people the world over, and a comprehensive range of knots, plain and fancy, and, with these, splices, whipping, plaits, and net making are included in this book with information of general use.
Knot tying is a useful exercise to obtain better coordination between eyes and fingers. The identification of knots by feel is an excellent means of developing recognition through touch. In all woodcraft work it is necessary to know how to tie knots which will hold securely and yet can be untied easily.
Many of the materials which you will have to use will be green, some will be slippery with sap, and there are many little tricks and knacks to get the best possible use from the materials available. Of the two, direction is the more recent development, although to the Polynesians it is older than their awarness of time.
