This book contains hard to find information that can save your life or your health: Advice on security, emergency medical care and evacuation, prevention of insect diseases, and envenomation by snakebit or other venemous varmint. Because your trip into and out of the outback can be the most hazardous part of the adventure, six chapters have been devoted to bush flying considerations: Five chapters discuss survival from an inadvertent accident in an aircraft or boat, or simply just getting lost while afield. Finally, you'll find indepth information concerning animal-human conflict - whether the horned animals, members of the bear family, the big cats, hippo or the dangerous big lizards - crocodile and aligator. The basic message is to always go expecting the best but prepared for the worst.
