It’s time to take control and be a hero! From how to survive a tornado, carry someone to safety and read an orienteering compass, to how to make a catapult, build an igloo, survive a snakebite or avalanche, and much more. Survival explains all the skills you’ll need to get through the toughest day. This book is part of the Buster Know-How series, a collection of books that teaches adventurous and imaginative kids everything they will ever need to know about getting by in this wide, whacky world.
