The Foundation of All Survival Skills is “Feeder” Mind-Set
“Feeder”
mind-set means being in control of a situation, proactive rather than
reactive.
It is an optimistic outlook that reframes any situation as a
learning experience.
Kevin Estela teaches survival skills from this
feeder-based perspective, which is what separates his teaching style
from other wilderness instructors.
Kevin has written the
quintessential guide for an outdoor enthusiast’s “bucket list” of
skills―how to make a fire, build a shelter, gather food, find water, use
a knife correctly and make cordage.
These skills will keep you safe and
better prepare you to deal with emergencies in the field, when you’ll
need the additional skills of signaling and communication, navigation
and crisis first aid taught in this book.
Each chapter concludes with
more advanced techniques to build your skills in various challenging
situations, with tips that even seasoned survival enthusiasts haven’t
thought of.
101 Skills You Need to Survive in the Woods is
not a onetime read but a lifetime reference you will turn to over and
over again.
It will become the first thing you pack for any adventure
and just might save your― or someone else’s―life.
Kevin Estela, a
bushcraft and survival expert, is an avid world traveler and martial
arts instructor.
