Winter is a fascinating season that invites numerous outdoor activities. But snow, ice, and cold also pose specific risks: hypothermia, frostbite, avalanches, and falling into waterways are real dangers during the cold season.
Wilderness guide, dog sled driver, and survival trainer Fabian Schmitz has compiled his experiences in "Winter Survival: Surviving in Snow and Ice" to help readers plan and safely complete a winter tour.
Learn, among other things, how to build a makeshift shelter in the snow, start a warming fire in adverse winter weather, free a stuck vehicle from deep snow, and treat hypothermia and frostbite. Safe driving on winter roads and choosing the right clothing and equipment are also included, as are tips for anyone snowed in at home or in a cabin after a winter storm.
This civilian book from the "OUTDOOR Basiswissen" series, 256 pages, first edition from 2023, contains a wealth of bushcraft and survival knowledge for winter survival that you can easily adapt to your needs, in German language.
