Basic Safe Travel and Boreal Survival Handbook was compiled for outdoor educators and the Junior Forest Warden movement mostly from articles originally published in Wilderness Arts and Recreation Magazine that had become out of print but much sought after. Some of the articles were the basis for Kochanski's Bushcraft. A small fraction of the book will seem familiar but the rest makes an excellent complement to Bushcraft which devotes a minimum of references to actual survival while Basic Safe Travel and Boreal Survival Handbook is mostly survival.
