  Survival - Essential Skills for...

  Survival is not just about enduring extreme situations—it’s about adapting, thinking critically, and using the resources around you to stay alive. Whether you find yourself lost in the wilderness, stranded after a disaster, or facing unexpected dangers, survival is a combination of mental resilience, resourcefulness, and essential skills. 
  One of the most crucial aspects of survival is understanding the psychology behind it. Fear, panic, and despair can be just as deadly as any external threat. The ability to stay calm, assess the situation, and make rational decisions greatly increases your chances of survival. Training your mind to respond with logic rather than emotion can help you overcome the initial shock of an emergency and focus on solutions. 
  In any survival situation, knowing how to prioritize your needs is essential. The Rule of Threes is a widely accepted principle that highlights the urgency of different survival necessities. A person can survive three minutes without air, three hours without shelter in extreme weather, three days without water, and three weeks without food. This guideline emphasizes that while food is important, finding water and creating shelter should take precedence in most situations.

  I Should Have Left the Whiskey -...

  I Should Have Left the Whiskey is the first book in the Rambling On trilogy – compelling tales from a time when motorcycles were left in the shed and global exploration slowed to the pace of cycling. 
  These diaries divulge two very different journeys in Asia: because progressing into enlightened India required some back-pedalling through darkest Thailand en route to China. 
  After impulsively purchasing a bicycle in Bangkok and taking to the frantic city streets, Graham was hit by the realisation that life in the fast lane could have an impact on his health. 
  Pedalling away from the madding crowd, he hauled his heavy load to mountain settlements lost somewhere in time. Desperate and dehydrated, he was subjected to all that the lonely road bestows upon the soul. 
  It soon became apparent that whiskey was not the best choice of refreshment. However, he rebelliously refused to abandon the bottle or the mission, keeping his glassy eyes fully focused on what was ahead. 
  A year later, having eliminated some of the heavier baggage from that journey, he found himself in southern India. Surely, this coast-hugging, palm-shaded backwater route would be a breeze … but the easy road is not always the right path. 
  Had reckless decisions taken him beyond his abilities? With flashbacks, foresight and the riotous brutal honesty that is confined to a diary, all will be revealed. 
  This audio book contains bonus outtakes from the recording sessions.

  'Glorious.' BILL BRYSONArmed with a pick-axe, clad in tweeds and hobnailed leather shoes, Edward Whymper was the first to climb the Matterhorn in 1865.

These vivid memoirs spelled the birth of mountaineering, capturing the excitement, triumph and tragedy that would hover over the new sport. Causing over 500 deaths since, the Matterhorn has remained both a treacherous and irresistible sports adventure.
