What happens if you find yourself stranded or lost when your backpack contained only enough supplies for the few hours that you expected to be gone? The wilderness can be a dangerous place and knowing the basics of wilderness survival is *absolutely essential* before heading out on any outdoors adventure!

Are you prepared to save your own life?

You didn't plan to get lost -- no one ever does. An unexpected weather event, an injury or poor navigation has lead you off the trail and now you're isolated, perhaps miles from civilization.

"Alone in the Wild" by Marcus Duke is all about giving you the tools you'll need to get yourself out of trouble when things go bad.
