AFR 64-4 Survival Manual

When a hike runs late, a car gets stranded or the weather turns, panic is the real danger. This manual shows you exactly what to do next.

Most people who get into trouble outdoors are not experts. What gets them home is a calm head, a few simple skills and the right priorities in the right order. AFR 64-4 Survival Manual takes the proven priorities of classic U.S. Air Force survival training and turns them into 210 illustrated skills, one per page, that anyone can learn at home and use anywhere.

Every page follows the same clear layout: what the skill is for, the tools you need, a numbered illustration, four simple steps, a practical field tip, the key safety point and when to use it. No experience needed.

Inside you'll discover how to:

• Stop panic in the first hour with the STOP method and set survival priorities in the right order
• Pack a pocket kit, survival tin, 72-hour bag, vehicle kit and first aid kit
• Build emergency shelters from a tarp, poncho, branches or snow
• Start a fire with a ferro rod, lens or battery, even in wet weather, and put it out safely
• Tie the 8 knots that matter and make simple camp tools and cordage
• Find water and make it safe to drink by boiling, filtering, bleach and SODIS
• Forage carefully, avoid deadly look-alike plants, and fish or trap only when it is legal and necessary
• Navigate without GPS using a map, compass, the sun, a watch and the stars
• Signal for rescue with mirrors, fires, whistles, ground-to-air symbols, PLBs and satellite messengers
• Handle bleeding, broken bones, burns, shock, hypothermia, heat stroke, bites and stings
• Stay safe in lightning, flash floods, wildfire, avalanche terrain, on ice and around bears and cougars
• Adapt to cold, desert, jungle, mountain, coastal and cold-water emergencies

Why this survival book is different: large, easy-to-read text, one skill per page, step-by-step illustrations with numbered markers, safety guidance based on current public recommendations, plus a free printable bonus: kit checklists, a trip plan form, a water purification chart, a signal chart and a 52-week practice tracker.

Perfect for hikers, campers, hunters, road-trippers, families, preppers and anyone who wants a practical wilderness survival handbook or illustrated survival guide they can actually follow under stress.
