Book Synopsis SAS Mountain and Arctic Survival by : Barry Davies
Download or read book SAS Mountain and Arctic Survival written by Barry Davies and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2012-12-10 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is difficult to imagine how anyone would enter into a polar or mountainous region unprepared. You’re prepared for your journey or you arrive by accident; for example, the aircraft you are traveling in has crash-landed over the frozen tundra, or your mode of transport has broken down in the wilderness. In all cases, providing you are uninjured, your chances of survival are good. Planned travel in a cold or mountainous environment should mean that you are well clothed and equipped. In both winter and summer, the Northern Arctic offers an abundant supply of water and food; shelter can be found or constructed above and below the tree line. The real threat comes from the cold, injury, and simply doing nothing. During the Second World War a number of service men became marooned in the arctic wasteland—most of them died. They did so because few ventured far from their crash site, they made no attempt to catch fish, hunt game, or even attempt to travel south. None that were later found had prepared a rescue signal, and most had died not from the cold but from starvation. The SAS Guide to Arctic and Mountain Survival provides details on what to do immediately after your arctic or mountain survival situation has arisen. You will learn how to prepare a shelter, especially on a barren landscape. You will learn how make a fire in the cold and wind, as well as how to find and cook food. This guide provides detailed instructions on navigation, how and when to travel, and how to prepare signal fires that will help speed up your rescue.

This book was released on 2022-04-26T22:59:00Z with total page 43 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The head accounts for around 47 percent of heat loss, and its protection is vitally important. The inner layers of your clothing should be made of a thin, cotton material, loose-fitting and able to absorb perspiration. The second layer should be made of tightly woven wool with adjustable fastenings at the wrist and neck. #2 Boots should be calf-length, watertight, and loose enough to allow the wearing of two pairs of socks - one thin pair under a thick, knee-length woollen pair. Loose, comfortable layers will not restrict the foot’s blood supply. #3 In a survival situation, you can rarely replace your clothes. It is important to ensure they last and continue to function properly. Layers next to your skin will need frequent washing to remove ingrained sweat and dirt. #4 The development of specialized survival equipment for civilian use has increased significantly over the past decade. The items in your kit must be useful and fit within your weight and size restrictions.

Book Synopsis SAS Tracking Handbook by : Barry Davies
Download or read book SAS Tracking Handbook written by Barry Davies and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2014-08-05 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tracking originated with man’s need for food; he needed to understand what he was following and what the rewards would be if he was successful. Little has changed over time about the terms of tracking. We still track game for sport and food, but we have also found other uses for tracking. Border police patrol to stop illegal immigrants from entering their country; the military tracks down wanted terrorists or enemy forces. Tracking has become a military skill. In the SAS Tracking Handbook, former SAS soldier and British Empire Medal (BEM) award–winner Barry Davies teaches not only how to survive in the outdoors with the skills of tracking, but how to use these skills from a military standpoint. Included in this book are many helpful tips on topics including: The types of dogs used for tracking. Traps for catching wild animals. Modern military tracking. Using your surroundings to your advantage. And much more. The success or failure of the modern tracker is dependent on the personal skills of the individual tracker. Training is vital in learning tracking skills, and continuous exercise the best way to interpret signs. These skills are rarely found, but they remain hidden deep within all of us. So whether you’re already a skilled tracker or a novice in the field, the SAS Tracking Handbook will be your guide to mastering this old and respected art.
