When disaster strikes, will you be ready? The fact is no, in many cases, you probably won't be. Not entirely, with 137-piece go-bag to hand, survival knife at your belt, and a pouch of miraculous wild herbs at the ready. And that's okay. Even the biggest survival superstar can--and almost certainly will--be caught unawares. The key is to know how to improvise. In this book, New York Times bestselling survival author Tim MacWelch shows you how to turn what you have into what you need. Fortune favors the prepared ... and learning how to innovate, improvise, and make do will prepare you for just about anything. Detailed advice and step-by-step illustrations show you how to handle natural disasters, wilderness mishaps, and total catastrophes with whatever you have to hand, from duct tape to plastic bags to acorns. Hundreds of tips for situations ranging from the common to the once in a lifetime (you hope!), including: use junk food to start a camp fire, harvest drinkable water from morning dew, use your belt to sharpen a knife, suture a wound with dental floss, use a bra as a respirator ... and much, much more. If you can find it in an emergency, Tim can almost certainly help you turn it into a survival tool!
Autorenporträt
Tim MacWelch has been an active practitioner of survival and outdoor skills for over 26 years. His love of the outdoors started at a young age, growing up on a farm in the rolling hills of Virginia. Eating wild berries, fishing, and learning about the animals of the forest were all part country life. Tim became interested in survival skills and woodcraft as an offshoot of backpacking as a teen—out in remote areas, it seemed like a smart plan to learn some skills. The majority of his training over the years has involved testing survival skills and devising new ones, but the biggest leaps forward occurred as a result of teaching. Tim’s teaching experiences over the years have been rich and diverse, from spending hundreds of hours volunteering to founding his own year-round survival school 18 years ago. He has worked with Boy Scouts, youth groups, summer camps, and adults in all walks of life, as well as providing outdoor skills training for numerous personnel in law enforcement, search and rescue organizations, all branches of the United States Armed Forces, the State Department, and the Department of Justice and some of its agencies. Tim and his wilderness school have been featured on Good Morning America and several National Geographic programs, and featured in many publications including Conde Nast Traveler , the Washington Post, and American Survival Guide . Tim has written hundreds of pieces for Outdoor Life and many other publications.
