Survival Encyclopedia. One on one with nature” - this survival book will be of interest to those who want to know how to survive away from civilization. The book is aimed at those who have fallen into an extreme situation and are looking for a way out of it. I was really surprised by the survival advice for those who got to the Arctic and Antarctic - but who knows where fate may take us.
This book does not contain stupid advice like how to determine the cardinal points while on a raft in the middle of the ocean. No, the advice itself on determining the cardinal points is good, but what's the point? On a raft - row, do not row - it all depends on the current, but on the wind. And the definition of the cardinal points will not help.
But in this survival book there are a lot of really useful tips for survivalists. So, for example - how to collect evaporation from plants to obtain water in a desert area. After all, there were real cases emergency landings of aircraft in desert areas, almost catastrophes, when some of the passengers did survive during the landing, but died from lack of water. However, with regard to survival in the desert, there are tips on how to determine where the water may be and how to dig a well. Well, how to find an already dug well is also described. A whole chapter talks about. Of course, getting into the desert seems unlikely, however, when we fly to rest in Egypt, the plane just flies over desert places. And knowing about the possibilities of potential survival will never be superfluous.
The encyclopedia of survival also tells about survival in other places of our planet - in the taiga, forest (do not confuse these two concepts), in winter and summer.
A separate section of the book describes hunting traps. This survival book contains tips and drawings for making snare traps, self-made crossbows (self-acting), shock traps and falling traps. I liked the selection of traps, it is quite possible to make such ones with only a knife from tools, well, in extreme cases, you can also use a chipped stone.
You can retell the book for a long time, look at the pages of contents - from them it is quite possible to understand what this survival book is about.

Underground labyrinths From the point of view of origin, caves are divided into natural (karst, lava) and artificial (mines, mines, mines, quarries, salt mines). The caves are very different.

Name: Encyclopedia of survival - One on one with nature.
Almost daily, the press, radio and television inform us of aircraft and ships in distress. Accidents, catastrophes and natural disasters claim tens of thousands of lives. Tourists get lost on the routes, lost travelers die in the deserts and taiga wilds. What should a person do who, by the will of fate, finds himself face to face with harsh nature, far from settlements, in the open sea, mountains or desert? What should be done to save life? How to send distress signals, get water and food when supplies ran out, how to build a fire in bad weather, build shelters from improvised materials to protect from rain, cold or scorching sun? What are the means of rescue and how to use them, what to do when evacuating aboard a rescue helicopter? And in general - how to survive?
The answers to these questions are given by the author - a professional specialist in survival and rescue, who has been dealing with this problem for over 20 years. The book takes into account the experience of training military pilots in special survival centers, training special forces units, experiments of the Institute of Aerospace Medicine, as well as foreign experience U.S. Army Survival Training.
Everyone whose profession and hobbies are associated with a certain risk will find for himself helpful tips which will contribute to a safe exit from a critical situation. The book is presented in a popular form, contains many drawings and is intended for a wide range of readers.
Can also be recommended as study guide for secondary schools in the discipline "Fundamentals of safe life".
Dangers meet us at every step, in the city, in nature. This is an undeniable fact, in which for some reason few people want to believe. In our minds, the belief is firmly ingrained that if a stone is destined to fall, then it will fall on someone else's head. We often tend to see the causes of our misfortunes as ignorance or inexplicable coincidences rather than as the result of our own wrong actions. Meanwhile, real cases indicate the opposite: often we ourselves are to blame for our misfortunes. A significant share of the blame for this should be taken by our parents and teachers, who did not take care to inoculate us with constant complacency about saving our own lives in extreme situations.
