"I wish to thank the members of the United States
Air Force survival schools who taught me much of what I have learned
about survival in the wilderness. As a Life Support instructor, I had
the honor of instructing thousands of men and women during my years
in that career field. It was during the development of lesson plans,
conducting training, and reading my lecture critiques that I considered
writing this book." -- Gary L. Benton

"Simple Survival is
straightforward, delightfully humorous, factual, trustworthy and
most importantly, understandable - something that many survival
guides available today fail to be. It is a pleasure to read a book

way."

survival advice with a fun and engaging style of writing. His Simple
Survival is illuminating for both novice outdoor enthusiasts and

"I consider myself very lucky
to have had Gary Benton as my egress/ejection and survival
instructor when I was in the United States Air Force in the mid
1970's. I personally know of at least four people who survived to
fly another day due to his training. The sign of a true survival
professional is one who keeps you alive and this man does it! Gary
is no armchair survival expert, but a real hands on individual and
this guide can make a serious difference in a life and death
situation."

A Word from the Author
Gary L. Benton:
"This book has taken me years
to write. It is primarily a collection of articles—many have been
published previously in some of North America’s best outdoors
publications (Modern Survival Magazine, Buck Masters, Big Game Hunt,
Wonderful West Virginia Magazine, Back Home Magazine, Family Camping
Magazine and others). In these articles, you will discover some
great general family camping information.
"This survival and outdoors
guide is for your enjoyment (and to get you thinking about nature).
I have over forty years of wilderness outdoors experience and I have
camped in various states and many different countries, as well as
under some very extreme weather conditions. I have slept in the
jungles in the Philippines Islands, the frozen arctic north of
Alaska, and the blistering deserts of Arizona and New Mexico, so I
feel my knowledge base is extensive.
"Some of my writing is just
plain camping (even with the kids)—fun, fishing, hiking, or hunting
information. We have added these articles to make the guide more
enjoyable for those folks who may be looking for general wilderness
information and want to share what they learn with a child.
"Simple Survival is for those
families and individuals who wish to improve or learn emergency
survival skills. I do not support radical survivalist movements in
any way."
