Basic survival knowledge for all enthusiasts of mountain tourism, hiking, trekking, all kinds of climbing, and other outdoor trips in general, and in the mountains, in particular. These guides are from a well-known expert on the subject, Bear Grylls. I didn't add any personal fabrications, because everything you need to know is in the book "Life in the Wild."
