100 DEADLY SKILLS: SURVIVAL EDITION

100 DEADLY SKILLS: Survival Edition, is a follow-up to Emerson’s hugely successful 100 DEADLY SKILLS.

From national bestselling author and a retired Navy SEAL comes the essential guide for surviving today’s emergencies, from navigating in the wild no matter the climate or terrain; to being prepared for any crisis; to the critical life-saving knowledge for staying safe in any hostile environment or disaster.

100 Deadly Skills: Survival Edition is an illustrated, hands-on, practical guide—adapted for civilians from actual special forces operations—to surviving in the wild, escaping dangerous situations, and being prepared for crisis in any environment.

The methods in 100 Deadly Skills: Survival Edition are taken from actual survival hacks that our military’s most elite soldiers have put into place on today’s battlefields. As Emerson says, “Your iPhone is better than any Swiss Army Knife has ever been.” And he is going to show you why.

Yesterday’s survival guide no longer makes the cut. This is the book you need for present world. While the backbone of this book is how to survive in the wild, the second half is focused on what to do when shit goes down: how to survive a hostage situation, an active shooter, a suicide bomber, a terrorist threat on the subway, and how to apply trauma medicine when you’re forced to be a first responder—all skills that must be honed and mastered to be an elite solider.

This complete course begins with understanding the psychology of survival and preparation and moves on to specific survival scenarios and situations such as what to do if you are lost at sea, forced to land a plane, fight off a hijacking attempt, in a lockdown situation, facing down a tornado, foraging food and making shelter while lost in the woods, having to navigate out of the desert, must build a fire on a snowcapped mountain, having to clean a gunshot wound or performing a field amputation. And all the skills have easy-to-glean-from detailed illustrations, because when you need to survive, you don’t have time for complicated instructions.

CLINTON EMERSON, retired Navy SEAL, spent 20 years conducting special ops all over the world while attached to SEAL Teams (including the elite SEAL Team SIX) and the National Security Agency (NSA).
