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.

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.

Download or read book SAS Desert Survival written by Barry Davies and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2012-12-10 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Anyone venturing into the desert, either by crossing on foot, vehicle, or in an aircraft (other than a commercial flight) should be prepared. Desert regions are those least likely to have an easily available source of water. Nevertheless, the survivor must find a water supply or they will die. No matter how abundant the rest of your survival resources are, without water your time is limited. To travel or stay put is one of the great dilemmas any survivor must face. The factors governing any decision should be based on where you are, your chances of survival if you stay put, where you intend moving to and the related hazards in getting there. Without communications it is difficult to assess whether there will be a rescue attempt, and even if there is, it would be presumptive to believe that they will locate you. Additionally, having the physical and mental ability, plus the resources to travel and reach a given point accurately is also a major factor. The SAS Guide to Desert Survival prepares the traveler for any situation they may find themselves in while venturing across desert and arid areas. It will explain the need for an immediate plan, as time will be against you, as well as how to dress for the ultimate protection from the sun and the cold (yes, deserts get very cold at night). The book will show you how and when to travel, as well as how to navigate a route to safety. The desert has two main advantages: the sun and the general clearness of visibility; a simple heliograph will flash a signal to both ground and air rescue services up to twenty-five miles away.
