Safe and Sound: How Not to Get Lost in the Woods and How to Survive If You Do

By Gordon Snow

Safe and Sound has two purposes: to help people avoid getting lost in the woods in the first place and to enable those who are lost to emerge unscathed. The book tells what to take in a ready pack and why, how to read a map and compass, how hunters can separate yet keep in touch, and how not to be disabled by a change in the weather or a minor accident. It also tells how to remain safe and sound until help arrives.

A Great Basic Guide to Short Term Survival

This is a very concise book and one that both I and my kids can read and understand. It doesn't go into a lot of long-term survival detail like some of the books do. I wasn't interested in trapping animals or how to dam a creek. I just wanted some good solid information for short-term emergency situations - how best to prepare for them and how to best avoid them in the first place.
