近年來，人們熱衷於露營、爬山等走入大自然的活動。然而，如果你在荒山野嶺迷路了，如何為自己找出求生之路？

這本書就是仰賴科技的現代人必備的荒野求生手冊。本書兩位作者──頂尖的野外救生教練Craig Caudill和導師Tracy Trimble幫助你在大自然找到方向和出路，而且是在不用任何工具的條件下，運用紮實的野外冒險準則敘述可以與不可以成功求生的故事，相互對照與解說。

作者在指導你更精細的導航方法之前，先教你從最基本的羅盤和地圖使用開始，再到技術性工具GPS定位等，並為不同技術水平探險者的提供必備的指南。如果在荒野森林沒有網路、電、也沒有指南針的情況下，作者告訴我們如何透過觀察自然現象，如植物群、動物群和星空等，幫助自己找到確切所處位置。

作者也提供最新資訊，讓你獲得足夠的準備解決所面對的問題，清楚自己方位和方向，享受探索大自然的樂趣。
