'Nature red in tooth and claw' may be a little strong, but there is no doubt that Africa can be harsh. However, the bush is generous to those who take the trouble to learn the secrets of her bounty. Trees, animals, birds, rivers and mountains will be frightening to those who cannot read the signs of the bush. STAYING ALIVE is about using every skill, elementary and specialized, which is available to all who would survive in the African bush. Food, fuel, fire, first aid, shelter, how to find your way, and all the necessary hints on preventive action as well as practical instruction in tracking and map-reading are covered. There is also a full section on urban and rural security; and health notes on such '" endemic scourges as rabies and malaria complete the book. The author, Ron Reid-Daly, served in the Rhodesian SAS and was the founding Officer Commanding of The Selous Scouts.
