Surviving the Wild

“Survival instructors are akin to heart surgeons: you want the very best. Joshua Enyart is the best I know. He is truly a subject matter expert. If you are serious about survival, this book is required reading.”—Alan Kay, winner of Alone season 1 (History Channel) and coauthor of Decline and Decay: Strategies for Surviving the Coming Unpleasantness

“Josh’s diverse background and real-life experiences give this survival manual its extra edge. Josh covers the basics we all need to know, and then adds breadth and depth for each subject, giving the reader the option to learn what the experts know. The first aid chapter alone may save your or someone else’s life. Excellent for everyone from novices to skilled instructors, this should be an active part of everyone’s library.”—Nicole Apelian, PhD, veteran of two seasons of Alone and coauthor of A Reference Guide to Surviving Nature and The Lost Book of Herbal Remedies

“Training is important, be it for work or survival. The better your instructors, the better the training. Josh Enyart has the bona fides that prove his skills as one of the best in the business. With a background as a Green Beret, he has been there and done it under the most austere environments on Earth and survived it. That is the basis for real training. Take advantage of his mistakes and successes when it’s easy, in class. Gray Bearded Green Beret’s Guide to Surviving the Wild is a great tool to do just that. It’s a valuable addition to any survival library.”—Chris Weatherman (a.k.a. Angry American), author of the USA Today bestselling Survivalist series, primitive skills and modern survival techniques instructor with over thirty years of experience
