I refer to recent posts about remoteness and being prepared for outback travel etc. There were interesting points of view and some derogatory remarks which were countered with some heavy words. Nevertheless..................

I bought this little book in 1984. Its title is Stay Alive, A Handbook for Survival, by Maurice Dunlevy, Illustrated by Raymond Webbe and published by the Australian Government Publishing Service, Canberra. It is an excellent little book with lots of illustrations and some photos of bush foods. It covers:
Surviving
Water
Food
Firemaking
Camps and shelters
Direction finding
First Aid
Dangerous animals
Bushfires
Floods
Cyclones
Earthquakes
The sea...small craft
The sea...abandoning ship
Metric-imperial equivalents
Simple knots
Search and Rescue signals
Carrying the injured
Community counter disaster preparedness.

I wonder if it still published as it is a good read to get tips for outback excursions.

Cheers, Willem
