Early on in his life, Matt craved a return to nature. When he became an adult, he took the plunge to set aside his comfortable urban life & live entirely off the land to learn from the smallest & grandest of all things. In his riveting narrative that brings together epic adventure & spiritual quest, he shows us what extraordinary things the human body is capable of doing when pushed to its limits. Epic Survival, written with Josh Young, co-author of five New York Times best sellers, will relay the captivating stories from Matt`s life. He will describe his time learning the secrets of running from the Tarahumara Indians that led to him running the 1, 600 mile Pacific Crest Trail in just 58 days & enduring temperature swings of 100 degrees. He will take us with him as he treks into the wilderness to live alone for a half a year, armed with nothing but a loin cloth, a pair of sandals, a stone knife & chia seeds. He`ll recount near-death experiences as he hikes alone through the snow drifts at the bottom of the Grand Canyon, & tell us about the time he entered a three-day horse race on foot -- & finished third. Above all, Epic Survival is a book about growing closer to the land that nurtures us. No matter how far our modern society takes us from the wilderness, the call remains. Matt`s story will be both inspiration & invigoration, teaching even the most urbane among us important & breath-taking lessons. ...

- MAP TITLES: the grids shown on our website serve both the civilian & the military 1:50, 000 topographic series. Although the areas covered by maps in both series are identical (apart from some border or coastal sheets), occasionally map titles differ – only one title is shown on the grid, usually the military one. In Galicia, the Basque country & in the Catalan speaking areas the tendency now is to use local place names rather than the often better known Castilian ones. Where possible, both versions are included in our titles. Map titles listed on our website are based on information received by us at the time of publication, but sometimes maps arrive showing a completely different title! As long as the map number is as ordered, the correct map has been supplied.
