Wilderness Evasion: A Guide to Hiding Out and Eluding Pursuit in Remote Areas
(Available on Amazon for about $13) If you’re thinking that perhaps you need to disappear for a while, lay low until the heat dies down or wait out the latest zombie virus, this book is for you… it definitely falls under the category of I don’t want to be found with chapters on caches, leaving town, traveling undetected, evading pursuit, covert signals and creating privative weapons.
An attempt at a basic civilian SERE training manual, Wilderness Evasion seems to largely be a regurgitation of various military training manuals. If you’re looking for a quick read and general overview then give it a go, but if you don’t have any outdoor skills or are looking for in-depth information I wouldn’t recommend it.
Don’t get me wrong, I picked up a few new skills from this book… I do recommend it, but most of us aren’t fugitives or planning on disappearing into the wilderness. I’d say there is no all-encompasing survival book, you’ll need to buy several and do your own personal research.
Researching the gadgets, techniques and plans that could save your life.
