From the back:
Nobody means to get lost, but it can happen to just about anyone who ventures into the woods. In Safe and Sound, retired RCMP officer Gordon Snow tells how to guard yourself and your children against getting lost, and how young and old can emerge healthy and cheerful if, in spite everything, they get lost anyway.
In his 35 years with the RCMP, Gordon Snow supervised more than 50 searches for lost people and participated in over 150 more. From 1984 to 1992, he was RCMP ground search and rescue coordinator for New Brunswick. Today, he trains search and rescue workers in Canada and the US.
Published in 1997.
