Born survivor - Bear Grylls

Are you prepared to snack on maggots? Dig yourself a shelter from the snow? Suck fluid from fish eyeballs? Bear Grylls is ready with survival tips to keep you alive in any extreme terrain…

Trained by the British SAS to survive the most inhospitable places on earth, in 1996 Bear Grylls suffered a horrendous parachuting accident that left his back broken in three places. Despite this, after months of rehabilitation, he followed his childhood dream and became the youngest Briton ever to reach the summit of Everest and survive.

Now, in Born Survivor, Bear shows us how, armed with the correct know-how and a determination to stay alive, all of us have the potential to tackle the most dangerous of situations — from crossing piranha-infested rivers and killing deadly snakes to finding water in the harshest deserts and fighting off grizzly bears.

So, whether you find yourself stranded on a high mountain, marooned on a desert island, abandoned in a rainforest or lost in the snowy outbacks of Alaska, once you’ve read this book, you too will be able to take on the wilderness … and survive.
