Rolla, MO (PRWEB) January 29, 2005
Outdoor writer G. L. Benton (http://www. simplesurvival. net (http://www. simplesurvival. net)) today announced the release of his new book “Simple Survival”. Could you and your family survive a terrorist attack? Could you find alternate sources of water or food? Could you survive following a plane crash or vehicle stall in a remote area? Do you know how to start a fire without matches, build an emergency shelter, find food, perform first aid, or signal rescuers for help? This inexpensive e-book ($5.99) explains in simple language how to do all of those tasks and a great deal more.
Internationally published outdoor author G. L. Benton, explained how excited he was to be releasing a new survival e-book;
“I am very please to have my survival book published in e-book format. This format allows the reader to remove and print only sections of the book they may need for a trip. However, please keep in mind, wilderness survival is a very dangerous situation. And, as such, your decisions in the wild and what you have on hand could mean the difference between life and death. That is why many of the articles contain varies types of suggested survival kits and the contents are listed. To venture out of doors without a survival kit, in my opinion, is extremely dangerous. And, since each time you enter the field or have an emergency the weather conditions and other circumstances are different, so it also makes sense that your survival kit and clothing should be a little different. This e-book explains how to survive in many different situations. And, with the constant threat of a terrorist attack, knowing how to survive is crucial. This e-book could make you a survivor!”
The Simple Survival e-book is over 240 pages in length and is for your enjoyment, reference, or perhaps to get you to thinking about survival preparedness. The e-book is filled with illustrations and photographs. Gary has over forty years of wilderness outdoors experience and he has camped in various states and countries, as well as under some very extreme weather conditions. Having camped in the steaming jungles of the Philippines Islands, the frozen arctic north of Alaska, the sandy beaches of Mexico, and the burning deserts of Arizona and New Mexico, he feels his knowledge base is extensive.
This book has taken the author years to write and it is primarily a collection of articles that have been previously printed in the United States. You will find many survival articles here that have been published in some of North AmericaÂ’s better Outdoor publications (Modern Survival Magazine, Buck Masters, Big Game Hunt, Wonderful West Virginia Magazine, Back Home Magazine, Family Camping Magazine and many others). Additionally, you will find some great general outdoor information in the e-book that has not been published previously.
The book has been broken down into different categories to make your subject search easier.
Survival in various climates or conditions (Desert, Arctic, Wet, General, and more) Water procurement Food procurement Fire making First Aid (General) Psychology and Survival Signaling Clothing (What to wear in the field) Snakes Making survival weapons Rescue and Recovery Camouflage and movement Children and the outdoors Maps and basic navigation Unusual Survival Situations Survival Tips (Illustrations throughout the book)
Keep in mind some of GaryÂ’s writing is just plain camping, fishing, hiking, or hunting information. You will also find some general information about how to expose children to nature, or what to do in an emergency with children along. Gary has added this section to make the book more enjoyable for those folks who may be looking for general wilderness information or simply want to teach a child more about nature.
Simple Survival was prepared for those who wish to improve or learn emergency survival skills. It was written for nature lovers, hunters, hikers, fishermen, campers, or those that travel on the worldÂ’s highways and back roads.
As Gary often says, “Knowledge is survival!”
