Product Description
Welcome to the art of survival!

Come Back Alive is the indispensable and witty guide to avoiding nasty situations, whether on a business trip, an adventure vacation, or a weekend hike. In this book, the author of the classic travel annual The World's Most Dangerous Places, Robert Young Pelton--"Dangerman" (Toronto Globe & Mail); "tourist with an attitude" (Outside magazine); "the patron saint of adventure travelers"(ZineZone. com)--reveals the secrets that have kept him alive and laughing:

• in the desert: finding water where it ain't, dehydration and rehydration, copping a nuclear tan
  
• in the jungle: trekking, camping, jungle tucker, what to do when there's no bridge
  
• in the woods: when you're tentless and clueless, when dinner's still mobile
  
• in the snow: dressing for excess; building a snow cave, what to do when someone's going hypo
  
• on the road: surviving adventure travel, from mild to wild
  
• when assaulted: passive self-defense, active self-defense, better ideas in self-defense
  
• when kidnapped: how to avoid it, how to survive it
  
• during natural disasters: hurricanes, avalanches, lightning, earthquakes, and more!
  
• when facing nasty animals: animals that bite you, eat you, sting you, and what to do when Bambi strikes back
  

You will also learn strategies for adventure travel, urban areas, war zones, terrorism, crime spots, and even the dangers of your own house--the place you're most likely to get into trouble.

Whether you are young or old, man or woman, going on a business trip, a ski weekend, an African safari, or just to the corner store, Come Back Alive gives you the comprehensive and fascinating advice you'll need to protect yourself. No matter where you're going, what you're doing, or how dangerous you want to get, Come Back Alive is essential to your safe and stylish return.
Amazon.com Review
Come Back Alive isn't exactly a book that inspires youto dive into the delights of traveling. Robert Young Pelton is bestknown for his previous book, The World's Most DangerousPlaces, and has survived numerous calamities--from car wrecksand a plane crash to killer bees. That he has indeed come back alivedoes initially lend credence to his advice--which includes what to eatin the bush, which animals are most deadly, and how to avoid beingkidnapped.

Pelton's survival tips and facts range from the obvious(if thirsty in the desert, look for greenery) and the interesting(deer send some 16,000 humans to the hospital annually by causing autoaccidents), to the patently absurd. While he may be most helpful whenwriting about nature, Pelton--a worldwide traveler--comes off ascolorfully clueless when he heads out to urban destinations. Whileadvising travelers to travel lightly, he recommends loading oneselfonto a plane thusly: "Use a soft, legal-sized carryon bag. Wear alarger than normal waist pack with heavy items, use a correspondent'svest to stuff in other heavy items, clothes, and fragiles. Carry asecond laptop bag ... filled with reading material, CD player,whatever...."

Not only does this sound like an Olympic feat, italso contradicts his advice not to look like a tourist. As for how tosurreptitiously conceal cash, Pelton recommends rolling it up instraws. That's right, straws. Certainly original, but the presence ofnumerous straws in a suitcase seems a likely way to ensure yourluggage is ripped apart for cocaine. If carrying it on your person,what does one do to dislodge a bill from the straw, toot it at thecashier?

Nevertheless, with its charts (of average miles walked bya lost person), quizzes (are you a leader?), and occasionallyinsightful information, Come Back Alive is a remarkable journeythrough Danger Land (a.k.a. the modern world), and one that is sure tohelp enliven any cocktail party with its informationalicebreakers. "I'm reading the oddest book," you might begin, "whichrecommends carrying money in straws...." --Melissa Rossi ... Read more

Don't waste your time
I picked up this book at a used book store for $5 and am still kicking myself for even paying that much for it. Short chapters that are heavy on humor and very light on anything useful. The advice in the self-defense section reads like it was written by someone with about six months of training in a storefront martial arts school who read a bunch of books by others who promote these shoddy types of techniques. Don't waste your time.

Forget Amex. Don't leave home without THIS!
This and The World's Most Dangerous PLaces are a MUST for travellers, no matter where you're headed, because the tips are adaptable, and with the state of US airlines these days, you never know where you'll really end up!

Read it on vacation and REALLY have a good time!

Must Have Book for Would Be or Aspiring Adventurists
Well written, witty, insightful, and experienced based . Read it, follow it, live it, and you might not only come back alive but enjoy the experience. You might also come back with great stories and a minimum of new scars (mental or physical) and most of your gear.

Great traveler book
This is a no holds barred book about what to be prepared for if you plan on traveling written by the adventurous Robert Young Pelton.It is entertaining and insightful and it is the second time that I have purchased this book.I would buy this again if I lost this copy(while traveling of course).I happen to like adventure books and this one deserves a space on my prestigious bookshelf.I think Mr.Pelton needs to get busy writing some more so I can read something different and let this book rest a while.

Finally, a survival author that's not hopped up on his own legend.
Have you ever been frustrated by those survival authors that go out into the woods and make treehouses, wells, and snares with only a Swiss Army Knife and make it sound like it's the easiest thing to do?Or self-defense gurus who make it sound like you could be Van Damme just by reading their books?Me too.Pelton is not one of these.He encourages "common sense".Something that's largely missing in many survival books.He gives handy survival tips you might actually use, like how to travel without checking luggage.Face it, it's unlikely your going to have to live like Tom Hanks from "Castaway" and if you do, all the survival books in the world will only help you so much.I'd recommend reading this book as a supplement to "Dangerous Places".You'll get more out of both that way. ...
