Author Description

In this fully illustrated book, originally published to tie in with his BBC TV series, Ray Mears brings to life the survival skills used by native peoples in the most inhospitable, yet most incredible, environments on Earth. With photographs taken from the Arctic to the Kalahari and the Australian outback, this is both a practical guide to survival and an extensive journey around the world in a study of different cultures and lands. Ray shows us how much we can learn from the skills and techniques of these ancient peoples and how they are still applicable in modern times.
