| Publisher Description: One can only hope never to face the many life-threatening dangers and just plain annoyances that journalist, pilot, and outdoorswoman Mary Ames warns about in this how-to-stay-alive reference that is both useful and entertaining. You'll learn ...what to do if you find yourself in the path of an oncoming avalanche ... what to do if your bush pilot keels over at the controls with a heart attack ... how to forge a river without a boat ... how to get your frozen car started with its 50 below zero...to name a few Alaska-style hazards. |
