DESERT SURVIVAL HANDBOOK by Charles A. Lehman Survival situations can and do happen to average folks, as well as to adventurous explorers. You have the capacity to handle these situations if you know and follow the basic principles of survival. This book will get you started. The basics are here. As you project yourself into the scenarios, play the role, and you will find it's fun to learn about desert survival. Finally, carry this book in your backpack, car, boat, airplane, or saddlebag as an extra confidence factor — a security blanket. If you should have a problem, it will be a handy reference as you wait for rescue, for the weather to clear, or the cool of the desert evening. © 1993 by Primer Publishers Fourth Printing 1996 All rights reserved.
