Practical skills for time outdoors

Steven Rinella’s guide brings together wilderness skills for situations ranging from longer backcountry trips to shorter outings on the water. Its coverage includes traditional navigation alongside satellite tools, assembling a basic first-aid kit and applying tourniquets, and methods for purifying water. Gear recommendations sit alongside advice informed by Rinella’s outdoor experience and contributions from people whose work includes hunting, medicine, climbing, paddling, and wilderness guiding. The range makes this a practical reference across several outdoor activities, with survival preparation grounded in specific tasks and equipment rather than dramatic scenarios.

This essential guide delivers hard-won insights and know-how garnered from Rinella's own experiences and mistakes and from his trusted crew of expert hunters, anglers, emergency-room doctors, climbers, paddlers, and wilderness guides--with the goal of making any reader feel comfortable and competent while out in the wild.
