From the sun-scorched sands of the Kalahari to the snake-infested jungles of the Amazon, Les Stroud has made a life of surviving in the harshestâ€”and most remoteâ€”regions on Earth. Now, the creator, producer, and host of the hit television program Survivorman transfers his decades of knowledge and experience to the pages of Survive!, a practical guide that gives everyday readers a no-nonsense look at the real world of survival. Stroud offers readers the essential skills and tactics necessary to endure in any corner of the globe, along with a wealth of insider information born of his own experiences in the outdoors and unavailable in any other book. Readers will learn: <ul>
<li>How to make a survival shelter and why a lean-to is largely a waste of time.</li> <li>Why survival kits are important, and why you should make your own.</li> <li>Where to find water and why drinking contaminated water is sometimes warranted.</li> <li>How to locate and trap small animals and why the notion of tracking and hunting large game is largely a pipe dream.</li> </ul>
 Whether seasoned in the outdoor arts or new to adventuring, all readers will learn something from Survive!. Stroud's many colorful anecdotes and cut-to-the-chase philosophy not only make for an entertaining read, but also enhance anyone's ability to focus on the main goal when everything else has gone wrongâ€”survival.
