Beschreibung

"Mountain Survival" offers a comprehensive exploration of high-altitude survival skills, bridging the gap between basic outdoor knowledge and the specific challenges of mountainous environments. This evidence-based guide combines scientific research from alpine rescue operations, meteorological data, and altitude medicine to provide readers with practical, life-saving strategies for mountain environments above 3,000 feet.

 
The book distinguishes itself through its systematic approach to three core pillars: technical navigation, adaptive shelter strategies, and high-altitude resource management. Rather than relying on dramatic storytelling, it presents complex survival concepts through detailed illustrations, technical diagrams, and practical instruction. Real-world case studies from major mountain ranges demonstrate both successful and failed survival scenarios, offering crucial insights into critical decision-making moments.

 
The content progresses logically from essential preparation and risk assessment to specialized topics like mountain-specific navigation techniques and shelter construction. What makes this guide particularly valuable is its integration of interdisciplinary knowledge, connecting survival skills with meteorology, geology, and human physiology. Each chapter includes skill-building exercises and scenario-based problems, making it an invaluable resource for everyone from recreational hikers to professional guides and search and rescue personnel. The book's balanced approach to traditional techniques and modern technology ensures its relevance in today's changing mountain environments.

    The ferocious Taklamakan desert, the harshest on earth, is known by the Chinese as the 'desert of death' or the 'place of no return' - you go in but you don't come out. It sustains no life and has taken the lives of many of those who have ventured in. Its unknown depths are said to be haunted by demons and spirits and legend has it that ancient cities filled with treasure lie lost and buried beneath its dunes. The only certainty is that no human being in history had ever crossed it from end to end. But, after five years of planning, Charles Blackmore together with a team of British, Chinese and Uyghurs and a caravan of thirty camels, set out to accomplish the seemingly impossible: they would cross the Taklamakan, west to east, directly through its unmapped, untrodden centre. "Conquering the Desert of Death" is at once a deeply personal journey and the story of an adventure that will go down in history as one of the great achievements of exploration. Hear the thrilling story narrated by an actual member of the expedition, Mark Kitto, writer and actor.

    A must-read reality check for anybody who has ever pondered making a new life abroad 
    "Pure enjoyment!" 
    "Another corker from Mr Cawley" 
    "Couldn't put it down. Made me happy, made me sad, made me happy some more. Really, really good book. Can't wait for the next installment!" 
    "Funny, emotional and identifiable, loved every minute..." 
    The first six months of running the Smugglers Tavern had been a baptism of fire. The subsequent years were about as much fun as bobbing for apples in a vat of acid. 
    Having swapped the tin roof of a cold British fish market for the sunny skies of Tenerife, one of Spain's holiday islands, Joe and Joy succeeded in thwarting the first wave of attacks from bungling bureaucrats, bewildered holidaymakers and their own spectacular ineptitude. 
    What they didn’t realise was that their enemies were regrouping. Not only that, but those enemies had made camp a lot closer to home, enemies that would make their encounters with exploding gas bottles, East European squatters and big-time Charlies seem like chapters from a children's picture book. 
    Dreams are shattered, relationships left in tatters and sanity is tested in this prize-winning travel and humour memoir in this revelation about what it's really like when you try to make a better life for yourself overseas.Recent reviews..."Beautifully observed, laugh-out-loud funny in parts and heartbreakingly emotional in others. If you've ever lived abroad, particularly in Spain, this book has something in it for you.""Hilarious all the way through and tinged with the slightest of sadness in parts.""The humour reminds me a lot of Deric Longden's equally poignant books and plays, especially the bits about Joe's gran and Buster the cat. Would make a great film.""Loved this book! Laughed and cried... Honest and compelling read."
