Outdoor adventures can be fun for everyone and being prepared is a must.  Caring for our environment and suggestions for packing suitable gear are mentioned on the first pages.  Eight basic knots, with simple directions how to tie them, are described next.  Four designs for using a tarp for a shelter are shown.  Also in this informative book, are instructions how to make a raft, how to safely cross streams, escape quicksand, and build dams.  Safety is always paramount.  Signs to mark a trail are pictured as well as Morse code and semaphore illustrations.  Should an injury occur, several methods to apply first aid until help arrives are explained.  Finally, some fun outdoor games and activities are included with a Did You Know page, index, and paragraph about the author and illustrator.  Many comic critters offer comments from the margins.  Colorful cartoon artwork and a variety of type fonts create an attention-getting outdoor activity (and potential survival!) book for young adventurers.  Lots to learn and think about in this 32 page book.
