Can a modern urban child find themselves in the forest and get lost? Yes, they can, and in a big way. For example, going on a school trip or mushroom picking with their grandmother. They wander off to the side — and suddenly it’s unclear where to go next. And the voices of people are not heard. What to do in this situation and how to get back to people? A detailed answer is provided by the authors of this book — Sergey Turko, an experienced hiker, and Mikhail Yarin, a well-known traveler and expert in safety in a natural environment.
From this book, children and teenagers will learn what to take with them on a hike, how to exit the forest using a smartphone, maps, and a compass, or by navigating with the sun and stars, how to make a fire, build a temporary shelter while waiting for rescuers, and how to signal them, as well as how to maintain their life and health in harsh conditions of the wilderness.
