      About Your

      Adventure

      YOU are lost in the wilderness. Predators roam through the forest. Hot days and cold nights will test your strength. High cliffs, rushing rivers, and deep gorges will block your way. Any wrong decision could be your last.

      How will you survive? In this book you’ll deal with extreme survival situations. You’ll explore how the knowledge you have and the choices you make can mean the difference between life and death.

      Chapter One sets the scene. Then you choose which path to read. Follow the links at the bottom of each page as you read the stories. The decisions you make will change your outcome. After you finish one path, go back and read the others for new perspectives and more adventures. Use your device's back buttons or page navigation to jump back to your last choice.

      YOU CHOOSE the path you take through your adventure.

      CHAPTER 1

      The Great Wilderness

      Do you have what it takes to survive in the wilderness? Far from civilization, everything changes. You can’t go to the grocery store or fast-food restaurant to pick up a meal. If you’re hurt, a doctor isn’t just a phone call away. If you’re cold, you can’t just turn up the heat. Even finding safe water to drink can be a challenge.

      Exploring the wilderness can be fun if you are prepared.

      Bears, cougars, and other predators can kill you. Poisonous plants can be just as deadly. But the wilderness also provides ways to survive. Catching fish and small game can keep you alive. Many plants are safe to eat—if you know what they are.

      A survival kit can help make the difference between life and death.

      Being lost or stranded in the wilderness will test both your strength and your intelligence. How will you find food? How can you get the attention of rescue aircraft? What would you do if you were staring down the jaws of a hungry predator?

      It won’t be easy, but if you stay calm and make good choices, you might be able to get out alive. Are you ready to find out whether you have what it takes?

      CHAPTER 2

      Alone in Alaska

      As you watch the August sun dip behind the high mountains of the Alaska Range, you are filled with worry. You were supposed to spend two nights alone in the Alaskan wilderness before being picked up by a small plane. At the time it seemed like a great way to challenge yourself and your survival skills.

      But now you realize that coming out here alone was a big mistake. Two days has stretched to five days, and what few supplies you brought with you have run out. And it seems that no one is coming. Your family and friends know you were headed for a solo retreat, but they don’t know exactly where.

      The Alaska Range stretches 400 miles through southern Alaska.
