Calling adventurers of all ages! Ready to become an outdoor explorer? Adventure Awaits: A Guide to the Great Outdoors is like having a fun trail buddy who shows you how to hike, camp, and discover nature without feeling confused or nervous. With this book, you’ll learn awesome skills, build confidence, and jump right into your next big adventure.
Experienced survivalist, global adventurer, and stuntwoman Ky Furneaux (featured on Discovery’s Naked and Afraid) has spent her life exploring some of the most remote corners of the earth and has personally tested each bit of knowledge in this book.
Inside you’ll also find:
- Super simple guides for hiking, camping, and outdoor fun
- Easy safety tips and helpful checklists so you don’t forget anything
- Guides on wilderness first aid, making shelter, finding food and water, making a shelter and more
- A fun 100-question “Would You Survive?” quiz to test your knowledge
The step-by-step tips make planning your first trip as easy as packing your favorite snacks. Learn how to pick the right gear, follow trails like a pro, and stay safe—even when the weather changes. Before you know it, you’ll go from “I want to go outside…” to “Let’s go explore right now!”
