Any tool that can effectively locate , such as GPS, is essential. If you only rely on the mobile phone to locate in the field, if there is no power or no signal, the function of the mobile phone will be very low. And if you only rely on the compass, you may get lost because the positioning is too rough, or you can't see the sun. Only by knowing your exact latitude and longitude can you understand how far you are from your destination and how much you have passed from your starting point. Knowing where you are now, where you are starting from, and where you are going are the most important issues.A third, expanded version of the book was published in 2014. [3] A section on "Urban Survival" was added for this edition. Information is one of the most powerful tools available for preparedness. It’s impossible to keep all of that information in your head and everyone can make use of a reference manual when things get dire.

Actionable information in a guide is more useful when you need it than just descriptions and theories. The author is none other than John Wiseman, otherwise known as Lofty Wiseman. Becoming, in 1959, at the age of 18, the youngest person pass selection for the SAS (Special Air Force), his compendium of escapades and intense experiences have left him fully qualified for the task of writing a thorough and substantial SAS survival guide.The amount of money you spend on something like a survival guide shouldn’t blow out your entire budget. A guide is important, but there is a wide range of price points from free to courses that cost thousands of dollars- so there is something for every budget. One of the keys to dealing with special circumstances is preparation. We may already know when, where and how we will enter difficult circumstances, or we may not know when disaster strikes, but plan to prepare in advance. Every detail has the potential to make or break us. We can't be perfect, but we can simulate every detail iteratively. This kind of simulation may be planning in the mind; it may be collecting written and written data, learning from the experience of others; it may also be practiced in advance. Preparation itself does not guarantee success, but an extra preparation increases the probability of success. As well as covering the essentials, being prepared and getting an essential tool kit together, Lofty’s guide has chapters on:

The SAS SURVIVAL MANUAL won acclaim upon its publication in 1986, both because of its clear organization and the illustrious career of the soldier behind it, John "Lofty" Wiseman who served for 26 years and participated in operations all over the world. Having examined a range of survival manuals, I decided to sit down and read this one in depth, and all in all I'm happy I did. There are clear, often colour illustrations for edible and poisonous plants and for tying knots, while the instruction on how to properly butcher a deer or sheep are easier to grasp than in some other manuals. There's a fine section on eating insects that is missing from other guides. When it comes to accidents and natural disasters, the Survival Handbook indeed does cover all grounds. However, it also helps you prepare for anything from a car accident or animal bite to a nuclear explosion! How to patch up a wound
