The Castaway Survival Guide

How would you cope in a remote location where you had to build your own shelter, find water and hunt food? Published to tie-in with the BBC TV series "Castaway in 2007", "The Castaway Survival Guide" is a fascinating and informative guide to surviving in a wide range of environments - with or without a camera crew in tow! Drawing on thorough research into survival techniques, the entries are arranged in order of survival priority, exactly as the contestants on Castaway will face when they arrive on their island. It contains entertaining and detailed information on basic survival in any situation, including shelter construction, sourcing water, fire making, food hunting, protection from predators, signalling and navigation. It will also examine how a group can survive as far away from their current lives as possible - physically, psychologically and emotionally - and in doing so will reflect on what the essentials in life really are. Fully illustrated with photographs, drawings and diagrams, it will be a must-have for fans of the programme, as well as a great book for budding adventurers of all ages. One thing is guaranteed: this book will save your life!
