The Official Pocket Survival Manual
A Life Saving Manual Needed by Every American to Survive National Emergencies Caused by Terrorists or Otherwise. What should you and your family do if you found yourselves lost while hiking in the mountains, woods or desert? What should you and your family do if while enjoying a weekend camping excursion in the wilds you were suddenly trapped by a severe earthquake or a blizzard? What should you and your family do if a tornado, hurricane, flood or a political upheaval forced you to flee from your home?
What should you do when your clothing gets wet and the temperature is still dropping? What must you do if snow is covering the ground and nothing can be found to make a suitable shelter? Did you know about the ordinary household item that can readily be used to purify water and make it safe for drinking? And food – what can you do when you run out of supplies and face starvation?
The Official Pocket Survival Manual in the incredible 4”x6” mini series provides answers to all of the above questions and many more.
Yes, The Official Pocket Survival Manual 4” x 6” mini series are without a doubt the finest books of their kind in the world today.
No one is properly prepared unless they own a useable survival manual. That is why everyone needs the 4” x 6” survival manual four book mini series.
Every American should keep one in their home as well as a copy in each of their motor vehicles. These books are the perfect size to carry in a backpack as well. Unfortunately, most of the other purported survival manuals on the market today can’t really be taken seriously!
They are terribly impractical!
They’re loaded with excess verbiage spread over hundreds of unnecessary pages. Imagine trying to read the fine print found in so many of them – especially after the sun goes down. Sections dealing with edible and medicinal plants even go so far as to give the plants their Latin names!
This is certainly meaningless to a person whose only interest is in trying to stay alive!
Imagine trying to quickly find instructions for starting a fire on a rainy and bitter cold night!
You’ll freeze first!
And if you don’t, you’ll end up catching pneumonia!
Imagine thumbing through these useless volumes in a futile effort to find directions for making an emergency shelter to protect you and your family from the elements. This would be an impossibility!
Yes, these books are called survival manuals!
Yet, none are much good when you need them most – in a real life survival situation!
Nevertheless, one good use does come to mind! The incredible number of pages could be used to start a campfire!
The first and foremost rule of wilderness survival?
Never panic when in the wilds! Always remember that it is normal to experience feelings of fear in certain situations. It’s a powerful defense mechanism against the unknown.
Fear raises the level of a person’s senses. It attunes the mind and body to potential dangers or hazards. Fear under control is wonderful. Out of control fear leads to panic. And panic must be avoided!
The second most important point to remember in any survival situation: Don’t give up! Remember – nature always provides the necessities required for survival – shelter, food, water and fuel (wood, etc.). The essential knowledge as well as the equipment needed to survive in any outdoor emergency is easily found in the 4”x6” mini survival manuals.
Yes, all of the above things and more are meticulously covered. It’s ideal for fathers and mothers, members of the military, backpackers, scouts, hikers, campers, hunters, fishermen and all others. It’s a most practical, fully illustrated quick reference manual.
Yes, These mini 4”x6” survival manuals are designed to help keep you alive when you are confronted with any dire emergency situation.
