The Outdoor Pocket Bible: Every Outdoor Rule of Thumb at Your Fingertips - Couverture souple

This book features information on all you need to know when you're out walking, camping or on the beach, alone or with the kids. From what weather is coming to how to light a fire in the rain, which animal's tracks you're looking at to estimating how long it will take you to climb the hill ahead of you, this book should live in the pocket of your walking jacket permanently, and will be referred to endlessly.

When you're out and about enjoying the countryside the last thing you need is to lug around several different guides to wildlife, geology, meteorology, and any other 'ology. But there are plenty of things you'd like to look up if you could.

How do you light a fire when all the wood is wet? Are those fox tracks or dog tracks? Is it going to rain?
The Outdoor Pocket Bible has the answers to more questions than you'd think could fit into such a handy volume, including:
* Emergency advice, from basic first aid to how to escape from quicksand
* Help with navigation
* Identification guides
* Boating guidelines
* Which wild food you can eat and how to recognise it
* Weather lore

This is the only book you really can't do without when you're out and about.
