This is a compact, highly illustrated manual of mountain skills based on those taught by the SAS.
In the past few years, hillwalking and climbing have become amongst the most popular outdoor pursuits. No one knows this more than Barry Davies who served almost two decades with the Mountain Troop of the elite Special Air Service. Drawing on his extensive experience, this compact and portable manual instructs you in all the key skills necessary to enjoy this often beautiful but hazardous environment in safety.
Adapted from the selection training and survival techniques taught to members of the SAS, every aspect of being out on the hills is covered, ranging from the all-important preparation and choice of equipment to navigation skills and what to do if problems arise. Detailed advice is also given on handling a range of medical emergencies and what to do to maximise your chances of survival if you are the target for search-and-rescue.
As part of an exciting new series which presents a range of SAS skills in various fields adapted for a civilian readership, this book is a key addition to every backpack.
