Safe and Sound has two purposes: to help people avoid getting lost in the woods in the first place and to enable those who are lost to emerge unscathed. The book tells what to take in a ready pack and why, how to read a map and compass, how hunters can separate yet keep in touch, and how not to be disabled by a change in the weather or a minor accident. It also tells how to remain safe and sound until help arrives.

Editorial Reviews
From the Back Cover
Nobody means to get lost, but it can happen to just about anyone who ventures into the woods. In Safe and Sound, retired RCMP officer Gordon Snow tells how to guard yourself and your children against getting lost, and how young and old can emerge healthy and cheerful if, in spite of everything, they get lost anyway.
About the Author
In 35 years as a Mountie, Gordon Snow participated in over 200 searches for lost people, supervising over 50 of them. In 1984, he became the RCMP ground search and rescue coordinator for New Brunswick, and, since retiring in 1992, he has worked to train others in search and rescue techniques.

A Great Basic Guide to Short Term Survival,
By A Customer
This review is from: Safe and Sound: How Not to Get Lost in the Woods and How to Survive If You Do (Paperback)
This is a very concise book and one that both I and my kids can read and understand. It doesn't go into a lot of long-term survival detail like some of the books do. I wasn't interested in trapping animals or how to dam a creek. I just wanted some good solid information for short-term emergency situations - how best to prepare for them and how to best avoid them in the first place.

This review is from: Safe and Sound: How Not to Get Lost in the Woods and How to Survive If You Do (Paperback)
This book was ok, but anyone with common sense doesn't need it. It was a lot smaller than what I thought it would be. If I'd seen it in the bookstore I wouldn't have bought it.
