The Book That Will Save Your Life

The proposed book for the reader contains the fundamentals of knowledge on self-rescue in various extreme situations. The author consciously does not adhere to an academic style, presenting the material accessibly and engagingly, as he himself has been the leader of numerous expeditions and a participant in scientific experiments on human survival.
Here you will find descriptions of the simplest shelters, fishing traps, and hunting snares that can be made with minimal time and available materials, recipes for preparing edible plants, snakes, insects, amphibians, techniques for overcoming water obstacles, as well as ways to signal distress. You will learn how to navigate without a map and compass and find your way to people independently.

The book is intended for those who frequently go outdoors - travelers, tourists, fishermen, hunters, military personnel - and will also be useful for those who teach and study the course "Basics of Life Safety" in schools, vocational schools, technical institutes, and universities.
