Mountaineers, seafarers, astronauts, cyclists, hikers, divers, gliders, aviators – even the most famous and daring explorers of all time began with small-scale adventures that gave them the courage and the ideas to pursue their greatest achievements. This book aims to give young people the know-how and confidence to get out and about – with practical tasks and activities, mini-adventures, rustic crafts and by telling some truly inspiring tales of real-life explorers. Throughout, Tiger gives us snippets and anecdotes from his own daring expeditions.

- How to light a fire
- Cooking on a fire
- Foraging
- Building shelters
- Filtering water
- Tying knots
- Reading the clouds
Children can learn basic bushcraft and survival techniques to practice repeatedly. The unique craft activities – making wild maps, a racing raft, and a kite – will spark creativity and encourage imaginative play.
Not just a valuable resource for learning practical skills, this is also a book to inspire dreams and show that they can come true with the right mindset, perseverance, and resilience. Highly illustrated spreads dotted through the book introduce a selection of real-life historical adventurers, such as Amelia Earhart and Matthew Henson, and describe how they came to accomplish such jaw-dropping feats.
