    About this ebook

    It’s important to be prepared for any contingency, and you can do that by carrying a survival kit in your pack. Here, survival expert Don Mann explains the differences between survival kits for warm weather, cold climate, and overwater. Basic items for each are listed, as are the basic items that SEALs always take with them. Tips on how to prepare your kit and become familiar with its contents are covered. Mann also touches on basic food, water, shelter, fire-starting materials, first aid, and much more.

    Don Mann

    Don Mann, a bestselling author and accomplished endurance athlete and mountaineer, played a crucial role in some of America’s most daring military missions for more than two decades. A former member of Navy SEAL Team Six who was twice captured by enemy forces, he now focuses his attention on inspiring others to achieve goals they never thought they could. As a sought-after motivational speaker and trainer, Mann addresses a wide range of audiences around the country―from major corporations to universities to professional sports teams―with a message that is equal parts inspiration and strategy. Mann’s other books include Inside Seal Team Six, The Modern Day Gunslinger, The U.S. Navy SEAL Survival Handbook, and the Thomas Crocker thrillers. He lives in Virginia Beach, Virginia.
