The Adventurer's Handbook: From Surviving an Anaconda Attack to Finding Your Way Out of a Desert - Paperback
by Mick Conefrey (Author)
Combining The Worst-Case Scenario Survival Handbook and Into Thin Air, award-winning documentarian Mick Conefrey's The Adventurer's Handbook draws lessons from the glory days of exploration.
What makes a good explorer? Adaptability, ambition, stamina, self-confidence, curiosity, optimism, authority--and fundraising ability. Though few of us will ever have to face a charging elephant, or survive solely on penguin stew, when it comes to project management, crisis aversion, or any number of everyday problems, there is much we can learn from the larger-than-life tales of the world's most famous adventurers.
* How many corpses are believed to be on Mt. Everest?
Answer: 120 * How is polar bear meat best prepared?
Answer: Raw and frozen. * What do you do if attacked by a charging lion?
Answer: Stand very still and stare it down. * What should you wear when crossing a desert?
Answer: Lots of layers--fabric absorbs sweat and prolongs its cooling action.
