Signaling for Rescue: A Folding Guide to Helping Searchers Find You

by Dave Canterbury, Waterford Press Waterford Press

Overview

Did you know that during daylight hours a signal fire can be seen a lot further away if you can produce the right color smoke? What is crucial to understand before reading this guide is that leaving a good game plan with a loved one before traveling into the wild is a critical step in being rescued. Without this step Search and Rescue (SAR) will not know where to start looking, which can prolong your rescue and the hardships you will have to endure by days or weeks. Signaling knowledge is as important for your survival as shelter, fire and water. This guide will teach you how to be visible through contrast and movement to your rescuers, as well as how to leave clues to be followed if you are on the move. Thinking like a Search-and-Rescue team member might save your life. Developed by noted survival expert and woodsman Dave Canterbury, this is one of a 10-part series on survival skills. Made in the USA.

Editorial Reviews

"With the holiday season fast approaching, these Pathfinder Outdoor Survival Guides would make great stocking stuffers for your favorite beginning outdoors lover."

Meanderthals

"The information is sound, helpful and well written. Definitely worth consideration as something to throw in your pack 'just in case.

Rocky Mountain Bushcraft

"These waterproof fold-out guides are rugged and easy to stash in the pack. The Animal Tracking guide and the Field Dressing Game guide are filled with great illustrations and plenty of information and detail."

The Toledo Blade

"Each guide includes a huge amount of information for such a small space, but skips the confusing fluff. Specifically, I like the use of images and illustrations to demonstrate tasks and the common sense tips included throughout the guides.

The Active Explorer

"The survival guides are absolutely packed full of information but skip all of the fluff. This makes them stick out from other similar guides that seem too intent on making for an entertaining read and not intent enough on providing the cold, hard facts of survival ... I personally carry my Wilderness First Aid Guide with me whenever I’m out for a hike or out exploring the back country on my snowboard during the winter."

Mountain Weekly News

"These waterproof, pocket-sized guides span the spectrum of outdoor skills, from animal tracking to navigation to wilderness first aid. Each one includes a wealth of well-organized information, color-coded and illustrated for increased readability.
