Overlooked Survival Skills: The Top 10 Most Overlooked And Underappreciated Survival Skills That Could Save Your Life In An Emergency Survival Or Disaster Scenario

https://www.amazon.com/Overlooked-Survival-Skills-Underappreciated-Emergency-ebook/dp/B071CKQNJS

The list of necessary skills one needs to learn for survival is a very long one. In fact, any survival expert would most likely tell you that you can never truly learn enough skills.

Survival skills aren’t just necessary to learn for getting into survival. They are also handy to have for camping, fishing, hunting, backpacking, hiking, kayaking, and practically any other outdoor recreational activity that comes to mind.

This is why it is very important that you become aware of the specific skills you need to know and strive to actually learn them.

Now granted, some necessary survival skills the average person is already well aware of. These include building fire, making shelter, purifying water, and so on.

But at the same time, there are many more survival skills that are equally as critical but that go largely unnoticed by the average person.

This book is going to cover the most ignored and yet important survival skills that you need to learn.

The specific skills that we are going to cover include the following:

•Finding Your Way Out Of The Wilderness
•Tracking Game
•Fishing Without Fishing Gear
•Using Pine Trees For Survival
•Safely Crossing A River
•Escaping Quicksand
•Escaping A Wildfire
•Escaping A Flashflood
•Preventing Hypothermia
•Waterproofing Your Clothes

You may believe that you’ll never actually need to use these skills, but the truth is you never know if and when you may find yourself in a true survival situation.

You could become lost in the woods, your car could break down in a remote area, or you could sustain an injury while backpacking that inhibits you from getting back to civilization.

In any of these scenarios, the skills that you are about to learn in this book could very well save your life.

Hiker's Guide to Long Distance Meal Planning and Wilderness Cooking: (Outdoor Cooking, Camping Cooking) Kindle Edition
by Tommy Harris (Author)

https://www.amazon.com/Hikers-Distance-Planning-Wilderness-Cooking-ebook/dp/B0728B3KT3

Many people pack unnecessary foods or foods that will weigh them down, use tools that they really don’t need and have to replace every time they’re out on a hike, but this guide is meant to help mitigate some of those issues so that you can try to get the most out of your hike. Whether you’re hiking for a couple days, wanting to hike but can’t for fear of losing weight, or hiking for a day, this book has a little something of everything to help you out.


In the first chapter, we will be going over:



How to manage your hike’s nutritional needs

How to manage your breaks for long hikes depending on your weight and your needs/wants

What nutritional needs you want to have in order glean the most from a hike.


The second chapter will be about how to decrease your calorie burn. While most of us love to hike because it burns off calories and it’s great exercise, there’s a subset of people that can’t enjoy hiking because they’re already at a lower than normal weight and need to maintain that weight. This chapter will be about helping to ensure you can enjoy your hike while also drastically lowering the amount of calories that you burn. The third chapter will be about what needs to go into pre-made meals on your hike and you can take what you learn here and apply it to your diet in the wild. Most people will often be surprised that meat should not be the only thing that you need to eat.


The fourth chapter will go over:



How to make a fire that will last a couple of minutes or a couple of hours

How to filter your water in multiple ways

How to recognize when fish is correctly cooked


This book is specifically designed to help you plan out your nutrition so that you can get the most out of your hike whether it is from enjoyment, burning calories, or just building muscle.

Survival Gray Man: A Step-By-Step Beginner's Guide On How To Become A Gray Man Who Blends In With The Crowds and Avoids Detection During An Urban Disaster Scenario

https://www.amazon.com/Survival-Gray-Man-Step-Step-ebook/dp/B071P57BD6

Allow me to ask you something: what do you believe the most critical survival skill to have is?

You might answer finding food and water, navigation, self-defense, or building shelter.

But I’m here to present you with an entirely different idea, that the most critical survival skill (at least when it comes to urban survival) is to blend in.

This is what a survival gray man (or gray woman) is: someone who is effortlessly able to blend in with the crowd to avoid detection.

This is easily one of the most overlooked but also one of the most essential survival/disaster preparedness skills to have.
But you might be wondering, how can you become a gray man? How do you have to look? How do you have to act? What do you have to do to not attract any attention to yourself?

These are just a few of the questions that will be answered in this guide and more.

The specific topics that we will cover include the following:

•What Is A Gray Man (Or Gray Woman)?
•Four Benefits To Becoming A Gray Man During Disaster
•The Five Rules Of Being A Gray Man
•How To Look Like A Gray Man
•How To Move and Act Like A Gray Man
•How To Carry Gear Without Standing Out
•Final Tips To Becoming A Gray Man

By the end of this book, you will learn everything you need to know about why and when you need become a gray man and how to become one.

Camping Mistakes To Avoid: The 18 Most Common Beginner Camping Mistakes And How To Avoid Them For A Fun And Safe Camping Trip With Your Family

https://www.amazon.com/Camping-Mistakes-Avoid-Common-Beginner-ebook/dp/B072MD2WTL

Camping truly is among the best outdoor activities there is. Not only is it a great way to enjoy nature and the outdoors, it’s also a prime opportunity to spend some time with your friends and family members and have fun.

That being said, camping is still not as simplistic as it may sound. Several first time campers believe that all they need to go camping are some basic equipment such as a tent and cooking stove and a decent camping location.

Do you need those things? Absolutely. But are those the only things you need? Absolutely not.

If you’re someone who’s never gone camping before, or at least who hasn’t gone very much, then you will find the information in this little book to be very highly valuable.

In this book, we are going to dive into the eighteen most critical camping mistakes and how to avoid them in order to ensure that you have the most fun and safe camping trip possible.

Specific mistakes that we will discuss how to avoid in detail include the following:

-You Don’t Check The Weather Forecast
-You Don’t Research Your Location
-You Don’t Tell Anybody Where You Are Going
-You Don’t Create A List Of Gear You Need
-You Choose The Wrong Type Of Tent
-You Don’t Prepare Your Food Properly
-You Don’t Test Out Your Equipment Before You Leave
-You Arrive At The Campsite Too Late
-You Count On Building A Fire
-You Stock Up On Junk Food
-You Make Your Dinners Way Too Complicated
-You Cook Inside Of Your Tent
-You Just Bring Too Much Stuff
-You Bring The Wrong Clothing
-You Don’t Bring Enough Lighting
-You Don’t Bring A Medical Kit
-You Don’t Have A Means To Defend Yourself
-You Leave Food Unattended

By the end of this book, you will know definitively why each of these are mistakes and more importantly how you can successfully avoid them.

Again, if you’re already a successful camper and avid outdoors person, then this book will probably be too basic for you since you probably are already aware of each of these mistakes. But if you’re a novice camper with little experience, then you will definitely want to continue reading this book.
