Wilderness
survival is an essential skill to understand for any
angler who will be venturing into the Montana backcountry.
As it is far easier to get stranded, lost, and run into
summer snowstorms in Montana than most places, a basic
understanding of wilderness survival skills is highly
recommended for any angler who will be venturing into
the mountains on a fishing trip.

medical procedures as well as specific symptoms
and accidents--everything from avalanches to snakebites

thorough, and practical. But like any useful first-aid
guide, it also discusses proper preventative measures

Book
Description from Amazon.Com
This is, as the title suggest, a follow up to
their earlier work, Primitive Wilderness Living
& Survival Skills. The advanced comes from
chapters dealing with brain tanning robes &
furs (leaving the hair on is many times more difficult)
and the making of a 20 foot long dug out canoe
using nothing but stone tools. Also Many bits
& pieces are inserted to build on skills learned
from their earlier work. Applied comes from illustrating
just how these skills could be applied on a day
to day survival/living situation.

From
the Back Cover
If you have been accustomed to reading books on
wilderness skills that entertain you but fall
short of actually teaching you how to accomplish
the tasks and skills at hand, you are in for a
pleasant surprise. The authors know of what they
write - this is not a compilation of other authors'
works nor a rehashing and perpetuation of myths.
The McPhersons not only know their stuff but also
how to present it.
