Survive the Outdoors is a wilderness exploring kit that comes with an illustrated guidebook and essential survival tools.
Wherever adventure takes you, take the Survive the Outdoors kit! The 48-page guidebook and 4 included survival tools can help you safely explore nature and survive unexpected circumstances.

Whether you’re planning a day hike or an overnight adventure, take this kit with you to the great outdoors. The pages in the guidebook and the tools that come with it are designed with a primary goal in mind: To help keep you safe, should an accident or circumstance prolong your outdoor adventure for longer than you planned.

The fully illustrated guidebook is simple to use—even the youngest in your party should be able to follow the directions. First, it helps properly prepare you for your outdoor escapades, including gear and how to pack it. It walks you through finding or setting up shelter, locating clean water, and building a fire. Then it looks at difficult situations you might encounter, from getting lost to getting hurt to getting hungry. Throughout the book, look for “trail blazes” (or navigational markers) with additional adventure tips and survival suggestions.

The adventure tools include:
 



Compass with carabiner: Essential for navigation, a compass will help you orient yourself in the wilderness. The carabiner helps keep it on you or your pack.
Flint-striker: Use this essential tool to start a fire by striking the two pieces together to generate sparks that can ignite kindling.
10-in-1 multitool: Small enough to store in your wallet, this mighty multi-tool has many uses: knife, screwdriver, bottle and can opener, ruler, wrench, and saw blade.
Reflective SOS signal sheet built right into the book to signal for help.


The information in this safety guide is designed to reassure the occasional adventurer, and it’s intended primarily for those folks who venture outdoors in the more temperate months—not those who do extreme cold-weather mountaineering. With that in mind, most day hikers get into trouble for one reason: they aren’t properly prepared. Knowing essential emergency skills and having survival tools on hand could mean the difference between life and death—or at least whether you’ll want to return to the woods. They may not make the situation you’re in any less frightening, but they will help you live to tell the tale.

Perfect for your next camping trip or wilderness hike, Survive the Outdoors: Essential Gear and Safety Guide also makes a great gift for any nature explorer in your life. It’s the one thing you should never leave home without.

Publishing and supplying books to wholesalers, mail order companies, and retail stores for over 60 years, Chartwell Books publishes across a wide range of subjects, including history, craft, home reference, puzzles and games, music, art instruction, transportation, and more.
