Product Description

Do you need to get away from the pressures of the world and the gaze of Big Brother for a while? Do you plan to live or work in a remote area where you need to be able to take care of yourself? Do you want to develop the skills to remain undiscovered in the back country - even if others are searching for you? If so, Wilderness Evasion is for you. You don't have to be on the run to benefit from this unique survival book: it includes skills you can use every day in your real life. Whether you're heading into the woods for evasion purposes or just a little relaxation, you should know what this manual can teach you about survival medicine, emergency caching, communications, food and water procurement and storage, counter anti-tracking, and the psychological aspects of being alone in the back country, among other things. The ability to remain alive, self-reliant and in control of your environment - even in the remotest of areas - is one that few people possess these days. Learning the skills taught in this book can keep you alive for as long as you need to be in the wilderness. For academic study only.

Customer Reviews

GREAT BOOK IF YOU HAVE SOME BASIC SKILLS!
This books teaches "Wilderness Evasion"! If you have some basic outdoor skills this books will greatly enhance them. The author obviously has a strong background in military SERE (Escape and Evasion) and gives this knowledge a more civilian focus in the book.

Those with no wilderness skill whatsoever may find this book a bit lacking - the author doesn't spend much time on basic camping skills. However, if you know the basics already, GET THIS BOOK! It will greatly enhance your survival skills.

As a wilderness guide and survival instructor myself, and a former military SERE instructor, I strongly recommend this book for anyone ready to move beyond basic survival skills!

Good addition to the library!
Michael Chesbro has a very easy to read writing style. Based on the style and interesting material, I zipped through this book in just a couple of days. Lots of information and tips that I haven't found elsewhere in print. The book doesn't get bogged down trying to re-teach and re-hash things found in other survival books. It directs you to other sources where necessary rather than spending a lot of time on topics covered elsewhere. I consider this a good addition to my survival library simply because it approaches a subject from a different perspective and made me think about some topics differently.

E&E Instruction From Someone Who Has Actually Done It !
Wilderness Evasion combines just the right mix of survival skills and evasion techniques to make YOU a successful evader.

Michael Chesbro has clearly "been there and done that" as is clearly demonstrated by the techniques he teaches in this book. No "Rambo" stuff just accurate, workable, and proven skills and techniques for effective wilderness evasion.

I am a SAR (Search & Rescue) Team Leader, and "Wilderness Evasion" is now required reading for all of our team members!

OUTSTANDING !
