Trail Safe

Averting Threatening Human Behavior in the Outdoors

Whether you are a hiker, hunter or fisherman, you need to be aware that crime in the backcountry is on the rise. You also need to know what to do if faced with a potentially dangerous situation when you are all alone and far from help. That's where this extraordinary book comes in. Michael Bane takes the principles of crime awareness, avoidance and resistance and applies them to the unique circumstances of a backcountry emergency. You will learn how to use your intuition and awareness skills while in the woods; do effective risk assessment and maintain personal space while on the trail; evaluate your retreat options in a confrontation; use words, tone of voice and body language as tools to end a situation before it turns violent; and finally utilize a six-step self-defense strategy that will allow you to concretely determine your reactions to a violent encounter should it occur. 5 1/2 x 8 1/2, softcover, 186 pp.
