Synopsis
Ninja master and survival expert Hakim Isler presents modern day survival strategies based on the techniques of Japan's ancient ninja. If you find yourself in an unexpected extreme situation--including while wilderness camping, hiking or adventuring off the beaten path--a fundamental understanding of your surroundings can be the difference between life and death. The Ninja used their knowledge of nature and the Five Elements (earth, water, fire, wind and the void) to employ its resources rather than surrender to its harshness. By studying their ancient philosophy and techniques, you will prepare yourself to survive in any outdoor environment.
Isler has over 20 years of experience as a martial artist, Special Forces soldier and security expert. With 139 full-color photos and 62 illustrations that detail survival methods, his book offers insights that are time-tested and extremely practical, including how to:
- Build shelters and survive in severe weather conditions
- Start fires and find food and safe water
- Identify which plants and animals are safe to eat
- Avoid dangerous wildlife
- Assemble the tools you'll need to survive
- Find your way in rough terrain
- Stay calm, focused and confident
The foreword by Ninjutsu master Stephen K. Hayes masterfully connects the past to the present by providing unique and valuable insights for surviving mentally in the outdoors.
