“Having this book in your backpack just may save your life one day.” ―Jesse Weiland, National Park Service ranger
#1 Bestseller in Safety & First Aid, Hiking & Camping, Natural Disasters, and Reference
Prepare for all the worst-case scenarios mother nature might throw at you with Mother Nature is Not Trying to Kill You―the only survival guide you need in your backpack.
Survive the unexpected. Statistically, you’re more likely to die from a vending machine than a shark. But, Rob Nelson knows many shark survivors. His college girlfriend was attacked by a crocodile and his roommate by a grizzly bear. His wife was sucked by a wave down a blowhole, he was left stranded at sea after a storm sank his sailboat, and the list goes on and on. To Rob, these “improbable” altercations are “random acts of nature,” and he’s learned how to survive them.
Confront the natural world with skill and confidence. An excellent resource for anyone who wants to learn more about living and surviving in the great outdoors, this comprehensive survival guide is your year-long crash course for ultimate disaster management. Learn bushcraft skills including building shelters, starting fires, and wilderness navigation. Get tips on surviving wildlife encounters (bears, snakes, sharks, moose). And, learn how to deal with natural distasters including earthquakes, hurricanes, and wildfires.
Inside find:
- Real-life stories of survivors
- 52 challenges and exercises to develop your wilderness survival skills
