Well-known outdoor expert Dave Canterbury offers basic techniques and essential information for primitive wilderness survival in this new heavy-duty pocket guide series from Waterford Press.

Perfect for throwing into an overnight pack or brushing up on skills before an expedition, these waterproof, rip-proof guides can be used on their own or in conjunction with one another, similar to the method used in Canterbury's unprecedented Pathfinder System. Covering everything from what to include in a survival kit and improvised tracking techniques to signalling for rescue and building shelter, this collection is ideal for outdoor adventurers of any skill level and provides indispensable wilderness information for all situations.

Simple techniques for staying found as well as how to navigate once lost or confronted with unexpected circumstances in a strange location are covered in this essential guide. From easy-to-understand primitive navigation methods and basic compass use to travelling by simple bearings and navigating around obstacles, this reference is a crucial source for anyone traversing in unfamiliar territory.

Industry Reviews

"The survival guides are absolutely packed full of information but skip all of the fluff. This makes them stick out from other similar guides that seem too intent on making for an entertaining read and not intent enough on providing the cold, hard facts of survival ... I personally carry my Wilderness First Aid Guide with me whenever I'm out for a hike or out exploring the back country on my snowboard during the winter."--Mountain Weekly News
"Each guide includes a huge amount of information for such a small space, but skips the confusing fluff. Specifically, I like the use of images and illustrations to demonstrate tasks and the common sense tips included throughout the guides."--The Active Explorer
"These waterproof, pocket-sized guides span the spectrum of outdoor skills, from animal tracking to navigation to wilderness first aid. Each one includes a wealth of well-organized information, color-coded and illustrated for increased readability."--Outside Bozeman
"With the holiday season fast approaching, these Pathfinder Outdoor Survival Guides would make great stocking stuffers for your favorite beginning outdoors lover."--Meanderthals
"The information is sound, helpful and well written. Definitely worth consideration as something to throw in your pack 'just in case.'"--Rocky Mountain Bushcraft
"These waterproof fold-out guides are rugged and easy to stash in the pack. The Animal Tracking guide and the Field Dressing Game guide are filled with great illustrations and plenty of information and detail."--The Toledo Blade
