REI Members get back an estimated 10% on this item as part of their annual member refund.

The REI Member Dividend

The REI dividend is a unique benefit of membership in the REI co-op. It's comprised of your member refund—typically 10% back on eligible purchases—and/or your REI Visa® card rebates.

Each March, active REI members and REI Visa cardholders who earned a rebate receive a refund in the form of an annual dividend notice.

Only active members receive annual dividend notices. To maintain your active status as an REI member, you need to make net merchandise or shipping purchases of at least $10 per year, unless you joined that year. Member numbers are issued in one name and only that person receives the member refund. Your number can be used by others in your family, but it cannot be transferred to someone else.

Questions? Call us at 1-800-426-4840 for more about your dividend or its redemption.

Authors: Les Stroud and Michael Vlessides; photographs by Laura Bombier and illustrations by Beverley Hawksley
Softcover; 378 pages; black-and-white photographs and illustrations
Harper Collins; copyright 2008

From the sun-scorched sands of the Kalahari to the snake-infested jungles of the Amazon, Les Stroud has made a life of surviving in the harshest—and most remote—regions on Earth.

Now, the creator, producer and host of the hit television program "Survivorman" transfers his decades of knowledge and experience to the pages ofSURVIVE!, a practical guide that gives everyday readers a no-nonsense look at the real world of survival.

Stroud offers readers the essential skills and tactics necessary to endure in any corner of the globe, along with a wealth of insider information born of his own experiences in the outdoors and unavailable in any other book. Readers will learn:

How to make a survival shelter and why a lean-to is largely a waste of time.

Why survival kits are important, and why you should make your own.

Where to find water and why drinking contaminated water is sometimes warranted.

How to locate and trap small animals and why the notion of tracking and hunting large game is largely a pipe dream.

Whether seasoned in the outdoor arts or new to adventuring, all readers will learn something from SURVIVE!. Stroud's many colorful anecdotes and cut-to-the-chase philosophy not only make for an entertaining read, but also enhance anyone's ability to focus on the main goal when everything else has gone wrong—survival.

Made in USA.

Comments about SURVIVE!:

Les Stroud’s “Survive” is informative and down to earth. The book offers common sense tips about creating a survival kit, making a fire, building a shelter, and having a “survive” mindset. There are many survival books out there; however, they’re either too technical or provide too little information. I highly recommend this book and it MAY save your life.
