Two seasoned travellers pool what they learned in Africa, Australia, the Arctic and the Americas about getting by far from any shop. Chapters cover the outfit to take abroad, boats and rafts, working metals in the forest, huts and houses, extempore bridges, timber, sledges, boots and sandals, waggons, harness and pack animals, camels, game traps and carrying the sick or wounded.
