Survival Camping, Walking, Wilderness : Lake District Cumbria (Book Wanted)?
Hi
I was looking for a book which can help me with basic survival techniques (short term)
and tips for walking mountains in cumbria lake district.
Was recommended john loftys book on SAS survival. Any opinions or suggestions.
Navigation, gear, tips etc..
Thanks - best answer to be choosen
You might need a couple of books on a few subjects.
You need to look at a few things:
Shelters
Cooking
Fires
Food
Keeping warm and dry during the day
and each of these will have good techniques which one book might cover, it might not. The ones I have read might for example teach you how to make a shelter in a beech wood but if you are in open moorland then these techniques are rubbish!!
I would identify what you are going to have to do when you are away - use the list above as a start and then figure out what you need for each part.
For example - Terrain might be a pine wood so you need to look at shelter making in a pine wood, pine cooking fires, and what kind of food is likely to be there when you are camping (no good looking for berries in March, again one book might list a load, but that is no good for you)
You can get all this information online if you look, print what you need to take with you (won't ruin a book then)
Same for walking in the lake district, there are guides for every hill and worth reading depending where you are going to stay.
Basically this all starts with deciding where to stay then work from there
