It is a family’s worst nightmare when a member of your kinfolk is lost and possibly injured in the wilderness. Unless very lucky most, without survival training, would be doomed. How often have we heard stories of emergency units rushing to the hills only to find nothing or – worse yet – finding a person or people but much too late to save them?

Then we have Shelly Crooks, a healthy young woman who like so many others before her, found herself confused and lost in the wilderness. Then, to make it more problematic, she sustained a leg injury!

Her good fortune was that she is a bushcrafter and, despite her misfortune, Miss Crooks was able to use her abilities to keep herself alive until help was found.
