Publisher's Synopsis
Wilderness 101 is the companion guide for new adventurers. Aimed at preventing newcomers to the outdoors from ending up in "survival" situations due to a lack of preparedness, this guide will impart introductory knowledge and skills to readers applicable across a range of potential activities, and useful for anyone heading into the backcountry. Based largely on course material that Maurice has taught for 32 years, readers will learn how to prepare and be equipped for all varieties of terrain, learn the fundamentals of weather conditions and how to meet them, learn to avoid wildlife and avoid attracting it, learn essential skills and emergency procedures relating to several outdoor activities, and much more.
