Synopsis

British Columbia is beautiful, wild—and remarkably good at turning a simple day outdoors into a story.

Survive BC is a practical, easy-to-remember survival handbook built around one simple idea: when something goes wrong, what should you actually do next?

Designed for hikers, campers, road-trippers, anglers, paddlers and anyone who spends time outdoors in British Columbia, this illustrated guide cuts through survival-show theatrics and focuses on useful decisions you can remember when they matter.

Inside you’ll learn how to:

• React when you’re lost or stranded
• Stay warmer in BC’s wet and cold conditions
• Understand wool, synthetics and the problem with wet cotton
• Find and treat water safely
• Build practical emergency shelter
• Use fire responsibly and effectively
• Navigate with a map, compass and natural references
• Find Polaris using the Big Dipper
• Signal rescuers using SOS, Morse code and ground-to-air signals
• Respond appropriately around bears, cougars and other wildlife
• Handle coastal hazards, tides, snow and mountain conditions
• Survive an unexpected night outdoors
• Make smarter decisions about emergency food and foraging

The advice is short, visual and deliberately conservative—because an emergency is a terrible time to discover that something you saw online was nonsense.

Packed with detailed illustrations, quick-reference sections and a little distinctly Canadian humour, Survive BC is designed to be read at home and remembered outside.

Know more. Prepare better. Go further.
