Kurzbeschreibung
From the sun-scorched sands of the Kalahari to the snake-infested jungles of the Amazon, Les Stroud has made a life of surviving in the harshest—and most remote—regions on Earth.
Now, the creator, producer, and host of the hit television program Survivorman transfers his decades of knowledge and experience to the pages of Survive!, a practical guide that gives everyday readers a no-nonsense look at the real world of survival.
Stroud offers readers the essential skills and tactics necessary to endure in any corner of the globe, along with a wealth of insider information born of his own experiences in the outdoors and unavailable in any other book. Readers will learn:
- How to make a survival shelter and why a lean-to is largely a waste of time.
- Why survival kits are important, and why you should make your own.
- Where to find water and why drinking contaminated water is sometimes warranted.
- How to locate and trap small animals and why the notion of tracking and hunting large game is largely a pipe dream.
Whether seasoned in the outdoor arts or new to adventuring, all readers will learn something from Survive!. Stroud's many colorful anecdotes and cut-to-the-chase philosophy not only make for an entertaining read, but also enhance anyone's ability to focus on the main goal when everything else has gone wrong—survival.

Confidence Building, Helpful Directions for Recovering from Being Lost or Injured with No Help in Sight
26. Januar 2009
Format:Taschenbuch
If you like extreme adventures (particularly by yourself) or just want to feel safer when you drive out into lonely, untraveled areas, Survive! will teach you what you need to know about how to prepare for your trip, use your preparations for the best results, and avoid the kind of stupid mistakes that can be costly (even lethal).
Unless you are a survival expert or someone who takes survival courses, you probably don't remember much about what to do when in trouble other than what you might have learned in scouts as a youngster. That information, while somewhat helpful, is clearly dated (there are better solutions available) and may sometimes wrong (such as encouraging you to rub snow on frostbite).
Most of us find ourselves at times in a wilderness area with no one else in sight . . . feeling a little concerned about what could go wrong and then how to recover. I found reading Survive! to be extremely encouraging from that point of view. I read the book with the idea in mind of visiting a certain wilderness area and developed a plan for how I could make that trip much safer and more comfortable. To me, the benefits were enormous.
The book is organized so that you can take it along with you while on a wilderness journey and easily look up what you need to know. I advise that. You won't remember critical details of what to do otherwise. Just one tip (such as how to make snowshoes out of car seat and seat belts) can save a stranded driver's life. I recommend you keep a copy in your car's glove compartment as well. If nothing else, the pages can make for excellent tinder when you make a fire using your car battery!
Mr. Stroud has a nice writing style, illustrates his points well, and provides lots of relevant examples. Surviving may not be easy. Surviving may not be pleasant. But those who are counting on you to survive will appreciate it if you do. Mr. Stroud's book will help you have the confidence and mental toughness to make the right decisions and keep at it until you survive and make it to where you can get help.
It made me feel like a ten-year-old again to read the book, getting ready for my first overnight hike and camping trip into the Mojave Desert. I'm sure you'll recall many of your outdoor adventures as you think about how this advice would have been helpful in the past.
The only areas where the book could have been expanded are those where a lone driver gets stuck. Here's an example: Most people don't know how to improve traction by using techniques like deflating tires in sand, putting traction-improving materials under the wheels, and digging a pathway out of the stuck area. To do all this requires having a shovel in your trunk and being able to assess which methods fit your problem.
I recommend that Mr. Stroud write a car-owner's version of this book for those who drive by themselves and might get stuck or break down in a lonely area. Most people could get themselves out of trouble if they only knew how.

Als begeisterter Zuschauer der Serie Survivorman habe ich mich auch für Les Strouds Buch über Survival-Strategien interessiert.
Was ich erwartet habe:
Ein Buch über Outdoor-Survival. Von allem etwas. Verhalten in Notsituationen, Ausrüstung für den Notfall, Anleitungen zum Bau von Behelfsunterkünfte etc.
Was man bekommt:
Das Buch ist praktisch eine Begleitlektüre zur Serie - man darf kein vollständiges Survival-Kompendium erwarten. Es werden vorallem die Themen behandelt, die auch in Survivorman vorkamen. Man kann manchen Kapiteln sogar einzelne Episoden der Serie zuordnen. Hat man die Serie komplett geschaut, so wird man im Buch keine Überraschungen erleben. Vom Stil her ist das Buch sehr locker und angenehm praxisorientiert geschrieben, so wie man es von Les kennt.
Das Buch ist nicht ganz das, was ich erwartet habe. Nichtsdestotrotz stehen viele interessante und nützliche Dinge darin und man kann die aus der Serie bekannten Techniken noch einmal nachlesen. Wer einen allgemeinen Leitfaden für das Outdoor-Dasein sucht, sollte vmtl lieber zu einem anderen Buch greifen. Trotzdem hat es mir sehr gefallen und ich würde es wieder kaufen. Man weiß ja schließlich nie, was beim nächsten Outdoor-Urlaub alles passiert :)

Well, as a big fan of the Survivorman series I bought this book. It is not as entertaining as the TV series but its a good bedside literature if you are interested in survival techniques. In the book Les Stroud summarizes all skills and techniques that he showed in his series. So if you know the series already you know 80% of the book. Print and picture quality could be better, that's why I only give 4 stars.
