Mors Kochanski - Basic Safe Travel & Boreal Survival Handbook

Mors Kochanski’s Basic Safe Travel and Boreal Survival Handbook was compiled for outdoor educators and the Junior Forest Warden movement mostly from articles originally published in "Wilderness Arts and Recreation Magazine" now out of print but much sought after.

While Kochanski’s much loved “Bushcraft" is devoted mostly on how to use nature as the source of materials to live comfortably in the bush, his “Basic Safe Travel and Boreal survival Handbook" goes into great length on how to cope with the major stresses one is apt to encounter when survival is one’s prime concern. The topics of dehydration, hypothermia and sleep deprivation are covered in detail. Sleeping bags, bush beds and shelters, warming and signal fires, cutting skills, useful knots and conduct in bear country are touched upon as well, as is travelling, navigation with map and compass, and crossing rivers safely.
