The must have junior guide to survival in the New Zealand bush. Would you know what to do if you were lost in the bush? Sam loves the amazing bush, but he knows he's not to go into the bush alone. When Tuffy the dog escapes, though, Sam rushes in to save him …and before long, Sam realizes he's lost! Suddenly, he remembers how dangerous the bush can be, especially when you're alone. He'll need to be careful if he is to stay safe until he is rescued. Bit by bit, Sam remembers all the rules for survival that Grandpa Tua has taught him on their walks in the bush, and now puts them into practice. Will this be enough? Lindy Kelly, with the help of New Zealand Land Search and Rescue, sets out the basic rules you should follow to help prevent getting lost. There are also guidelines on how to prepare for a tramp, and, if you are lost, how to keep yourself safe until help arrives. Fun activities will help you remember the safety messages.
