An Outdoor Survival Book by Tony Nester
This is the second book in the Practical Survival Series which focuses on the specific skills needed for desert survival and safety. Few books on desert survival have ever contained such detailed examples of the fundamental skills necessary for traveling and hiking in the land of little water. Containing over 30 photos and a wealth of field-expedient methods related to arid land survival, this book is an excellent outdoor guide for the first-time visitor or veteran desert explorer.
Skills highlighted in this outdoor survival book are featured on the Discovery Channel’s special where Tony served as the consultant during survival training in Death Valley.
