Emergency blankets and the many ways to use them are just one of the essentials in Felix! the Sugar Glider's survival bag. Read Felix! the Sugar Glider Be Safe Hike Smart (Amazon). No matter how well they know the trail, many people never consider that they might end up unexpectedly spending the night outdoors or waiting for medical help --and so they hike without the essentials. Felix! the Sugar Glider teaches essential day-hiking skills, items to pack, how to navigate your way with and without a map or compass, and how to get rescued. This book is a fast, easy read that could save your life and will definitely make your adventure more safe and enjoyable!
