The Rough Guide to Travel Survival
Whether you’re visiting a politically unstable country, hiking in a remote region, or find yourself in an unexpectedly dire situation in the course of your more "standard" travels, knowing how best to react can be the difference between life and death. To say nothing of the brownie points you’ll earn from fellow survivors for your stellar new rope-tying abilities. With the all-new Rough Guide to Travel Survival on hand, you’ll never be at a loss for practical information on how to deal with the worst that the sun, sleet, and sea serve up. This slim, information-packed volume is indispensable for every adventurous traveler, aid worker, or foreign correspondent whether you’re trekking through the 6% of the world covered in rainforest or are forging through a distinctly more urban jungle and need to spot scams and thwart pickpockets. From avoiding and treating altitude sickness to building an A-frame to eating ants, this bountiful book - the latest from acclaimed travel writer Doug Lansky - has got you covered, come hell or high water.
