Surviving Cold Weather

The first in Greg Davenport's Books for the Wilderness series, Surviving Cold Weather covers the techniques and equipment necessary for surviving in ice and snow. Photos and drawings illustrate gear and techniques. The book covers the five survival essentials--personal protection, signaling, sustenance, navigation, and health--as they relate to the cold. This collection of valuable information includes: how to dress for the winter, how to create a campsite, how to signal for help, how to find and prepare food, how to use a map and compass, how to travel on ice and snow, and how to avoid and deal with avelanches.
