What happens when the backpack is stolen, the lighter is soaked, and the grid goes down? There is an old line in survival circles: the more you know, the less you carry.

Complete with actionable practice drills and field checklists, this book provides a clear order of action for when things go wrong.Learn the order. Practice the harmless versions first. Become the survival system.
