The ultimate survival manual

Richard Johnson and the editors of Outdoor Life, with Brad Fenson and Robert F. James

This top-selling book is now available in a special Canadian edition with content targeted to intrepid Canadians. From the rocky coast to the wide prairies to the frozen north, Canada's geography offers a wealth of beautiful scenery - and potential deadly environments. This book covers how to handle: survival in the big woods, at any time of the year, including the depths of winter; a grizzly attack; eat local insects to survive; find your way when lost in the prairie; save someone who's fallen into icy water, handle common maritime disasters such as being lost at sea, engine trouble, and a flooded motor; handle tornadoes; guard against windstorms and downed trees; and deal with flooding and mudslides
