| Survival in ice and snow |
Product description
Winter is a fascinating season and those who venture into the wilderness on skis, snowshoes, on a dog sled or snowmobile, fishing or hunting, for leisure or for work in the crisp cold, usually return with dreamlike experiences and rich memories of an intense time. But snow, ice and cold also pose specific risks for the winter adventurer. Hypothermia, frostbite, avalanches and breaking into bodies of water are real dangers during the cold season and it takes knowledge, experience and the right equipment to return home healthy. Wilderness guide, dog sledding guide, and survival trainer Fabian Schmitz has compiled his experiences in this book to help readers plan for safety and safely execute a winter trip, help choose the right clothing and equipment for winter activities, and show how to help yourself in an emergency. Learn how to build a makeshift shelter in the snow, start a warming fire in adverse winter weather, extricate a stuck vehicle from deep snow, and treat hypothermia and frostbite, among other topics. Safe driving on winter roads is also part of the content, as are tips for anyone snowed in at home and cabin after a winter storm.
