what to do when a wolf pack attacked me. Had I carried this very practical handbook, I would have known immediately that I should charge the lead wolf... Fortunately I have little likelihood of needing survival tips from attack by wolves, but I have often stepped in dog droppings and needed a sure-fire method of removing all of the evidence. My daughter is a musician and thus may some day be trapped under a collapsed piano and will need to know she should lie still.
