Every man has faced that emergency where a car needs to be broken into and hot-wired. Just as every man needs to be able to mix the perfect dry martini when relaxing at home. Robert Twigger—author, snake hunter, desert explorer, canoeist, and all-around Hemingwayesque manly man—gives authoritative insights and tips for surviving the modern world in this Dangerous Book for Men. He has plenty of experience of facing down bears, building coracles, swimming with sharks, playing high-stakes poker, and removing fishhooks from his hands—and here he takes on even more ludicrous skills—performing a tracheotomy; slitting the throat of a sheep; and landing a Boeing 747.
