The SAS Personal Survival Handbook

Description

URBAN SURVIVAL SKILLS FROM HOME SECURITY AND SAFETY TO SELF-DEFENCE AND FIRST AID. John ‘Lofty’ Wiseman is the author of THE SAS SURVIVAL HANDBOOK, the bestselling guide to survival in the wild. Now he has compiled the even more necessary manual on survival in the urban jungle. With the clarity, common sense and directness you would expect from the SAS’s former Chief Survival Instructor, Lofty Wiseman shares the skills he has perfected over a 26-year career. Taking you through the essentials for combatting the problems and stresses of urban life for you and your family, THE SAS PERSONAL SURVIVAL HANDBOOK shows how to make and keep your home and avoid domestic accident or injury. It shows the dangers of DIY tools, chemicals and poisonous plants in your home and garden, and gives help and strategies for home security and fire prevention. With further sections on avoiding accident and injury at work and in sports, dealing with travel dangers, self-defence from all kinds of attack from telephone nuisance to rape and mugging, plus first aid and how to save a life, this is the one book no home can afford to be without. Previously published as THE SAS URBAN SURVIVAL HANDBOOK, this new format and title breathes new life into a very relevant book for the 21st century. Review: Very very very good book! - It wasn't quite what I expected, but I'm very very happy I bought it, the point that you say in your head "huh, that's a very good idea" you know you are learning useful information. (I'm writing 'very', it was actually a different word, but I can't type it in an desertcart review!). One of the tips was about making sure people can't see your post when you are on holiday. I'm going on holiday for the first time this year since I moved into this house, I hadn't even considered that, of course it's obvious when you read it, but I hadn't thought about it, and now I have a plan to cover the window in the door. I am really chuffed with this, and I'd say his surname is very accurate. There is extensive advice on all manner of things, I've learned a lot about gas which I never knew. There's so many good ideas that I've wrote a long list of things to do. When you read it, have a pen and paper to hand! I suffer from anxiety and I find if I take actions to minimise chances of anything going wrong, it makes me feel better and reduces the anxiety. I would give it more stars if I could, absolutely fantastic read. Review: Lofty strikes again. - A masterpiece of self preservation.
