Publisher's summary

In the spirit of the best-selling SAS Survival Handbook comes the ultimate survival guide for the 21st century, from world-famous adventurer and former SAS soldier Bear Grylls.

For more than a decade, Bear Grylls has introduced TV viewers to the most dramatic wilderness survival situations through his hit shows, such as Man vs. Wild. Now, with How to Stay Alive, Bear brings listeners inside the wide variety of vital survival tactics he utilizes all the time, from basic everyday skills like avoiding blisters to once-in-a-lifetime events like surviving a kidnapping.

Opening with the basic survival skills - assembling your survival kit, making a fire, building a shelter - and then moving on to more specific survival events, such as escapes, dealing with harsh terrain, and medical emergencies, Grylls is a sure guide for any type of disaster situation. Along the way we learn how to: survive in a life raft; land a helicopter in an emergency; treat hypothermia and frostbite; escape from quicksand; and numerous other essential, fascinating tips. For serious outdoorspeople, weekend warriors, and even couch potatoes looking for a vicarious thrill, How to Stay Alive is an invaluable guide.

How to Stay Alive will be the definitive outdoor survival tome for years to come.

Supplemental enhancement PDF accompanies the audiobook.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Dialect and index of chapters

American speakers need to be aware that some of the terms are not in American English. There are also a few places where right hand drive of an automobile is assumed rather than left-hand drive. The index of chapters in this audiobook would be greatly improved by giving names in addition to chapter numbers. Other than that, the content and narration are both excellent!

Great!

I really learned a lot, and I have learned quite a bit growing up and having small adventures in Alaska, as well as attending various 1st responder type classes. Exactly what I was looking for!
