Prepare for random acts of nature with survival strategies for dangerous wildlife, poisonous plants, natural disasters, and everything else outdoors.

Statistically, you’re more likely to die from a vending machine than a shark. Yet, Rob Nelson knows many shark survivors. His college girlfriend was attacked by a crocodile, and his roommate was attacked by a grizzly bear. His wife was sucked by a wave down a blowhole, he was left stranded at sea after a storm sank his sailboat, and the list goes on and on. But Rob has learned to survive these improbable altercations, and in this guide he shows you how. Featuring fifty-two challenges you can encounter in the wilderness, this is your year-long crash course for ultimate disaster management. Whether you’re preparing for a moose attack or a nuclear fallout, Mother Nature is Not Trying to Kill You enables you to confront the natural world with skill and confidence. “Expertly blend[s] fascinating wildlife and nature facts and serious wilderness survival techniques with a healthy dose of fun and humor. Even if you’ll never face any of these animals or survival situations in real life, you’ll learn a lot and be entertained.” ―David Mizejewski, naturalist, National Wildlife Federation “Having this book in your backpack just may save your life one day.” —Jesse Weiland, national park ranger
