Synopsis

The Upper East Side metrosexual may be good at cocktail chat, but a real man knows how to fight off alligators, create a tourniquet out of a t-shirt, and rescue a drowning person. Frank Miniter's The Ultimate Man's Survival Guide shows men how to do all of these and more, including:
* how to fight off a bear
* how to set a dislocated joint
* how to pick the perfect cigar and bottle of wine

Presented in seven sections--survivor, provider, athlete, hero, romantic, cultured man, and philosopher--Miniter teaches guys the skills, attitudes, and philosophies they need to be the ultimate man. Clearly written and packed with real-life anecdotes, as well as line-drawings and how-to illustrations, The Ultimate Man's Survival Guide teaches men that any guy can be the ultimate man whether he is rescuing a lost hiker, plucking a child from a swift stream, or standing up against injustice.

A propos du livre

À propos de l?auteur

Frank Miniter has floated the Amazon, run with the bulls of Pamplona, hunted everything from bear in Russia to elk with the Apache to kudu in the Kalahari, and he has fly-fished everywhere from Alaska’s Kenai to Scotland’s River Spey to Japan’s freestone streams. Along the way he was taught to box by Floyd Patterson, spelunked into Pompey’s Cave, climbed everywhere from New York’s Gunks to the Rockies, and studied Kenkojuku Karate with Sensei Masakazu Takahashi. He graduated from the oldest private military academy in the United States, a place that still teaches honor and old-school gentlemanly conduct. He believes that American men need this book because too many have forgotten—or never been taught—the gentleman’s code of honor.

He is the author of several books, including the bestselling Ultimate Man’s Survival Guide to the Workplace and The Politically Incorrect Guide to Hunting, has won numerous awards for his outdoors and conservation writing, and has contributed articles to Forbes, National Review, The Washington Times, The Washington Examiner, Foxnews.com, and many other outlets. He was a senior editor at Outdoor Life magazine and an executive editor at American Hunter magazine. Currently, he is editor in chief of the NRA’s political magazine, America’s 1st Freedom.
