Synopsis

Lead a life of adventure from the cushions of your couch

Long before emergancy assistance was just a cell phone call away and GPS systems kept the mystery out of even the deepest off-roading trips, toughness-mental and physical- and independence were valued far above technology.

Our fathers and grandfathers know how to fend for themselves and survive in even the most perilous situations, but up until now, our generation has taken a pass on acquiring such crucial life skills.

The Dangerous Book for Men shows how today's man can once again discover the exhilaration of an adventerous life with just a little forethought and a lot of good sense (and a few handy implements).

Learn utlimate survivor tactics, like how to:
?Navigate by the sun and stars
?Break up a dogfight
?Survive a sandstorm
?Deal with suspected poisoning
?Land a small aircraft
?and so much more

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Finally, a book that teaches a man how to be a man that harks back to a less sheltered and pampered age when, without the aid of technology, men had to use their military training and outdoor skills and were prepared for any eventuality. "The Dangerous Book for Men" offers useful but often long-neglected skills and imparts wisdom gleaned from many sources. You can learn and relearn forgotten skills like how to light a fire in a downpour, set a broken limb or harvest food from the wild, among many other skills that a true adventurer cannot do without. Presented in an elegantly designed, but hardy, volume, "The Dangerous Book for Men" teaches the importance of self-reliance, common sense and background knowledge. With this book every man will be able to overcome whatever perils and difficulties he might encounter in the course of an adventurous life.
