Uncle John’s How to Fight a Bear and Win

...And 50 Other Survival Tips You’ll Hopefully Never Need

From the world leader in fascinating facts and amusing true stories comes a book about how to feed, clothe, and protect yourself in the wilderness…and it might even make you want to avoid anything resembling the wilderness forever.

For more than 25 years, Uncle John’s Bathroom Reader has

helped you learn amazing things you didn’t know. Now, Uncle

John will show you how to do things you didn’t know how to

do…and probably should never actually do, unless you’re in a

survival situation and really need to do it. How to Fight a Bear

and Win is a new approach to survival guides and how-to books.

This book provides step-by-step instructions for how to make

do in any rugged terrain, but with a twist. This isn’t the kind of

book that will tell you how to make a fi re by rubbing two sticks

together—it will tell you how to make a fi re using a car battery. It

will also tell you how to…

• Swing from a vine like Tarzan

• Land an airplane in an emergency

• Fight a bear…and win

• Perform emergency surgery in the woods

• Identify what insects you can—and cannot—eat

And lots, lots more.

Uncle John’s Bathroom Readers are always excellent. Over the past 20 years,

I’ve read these books, given them as gifts to my husband and sons for Christmas and birthdays. The writing is always good, and this book (Fully

Loaded), like so many others that we’ve had over the years, is defi nitely worth reading

and defi nitely worth owning. —IBPA Benjamin Franklin

Awards Judge“My friend in school was reading

Bathroom Readers, so then I bought a couple, and now my mom says I’m just threatening her with my intelligence.”

—Chase O.

“Our friend Patrick Merrell has a new book out that would make a great gift for the elementary

or middle school child in your life. Hunting For Heroes, which also has the title iFlush because it’s published by the infamous Uncle John’s series, is a

beautiful book jam-packed with puzzles galore. The lucky recipient of this book will stay busy for

hours learning about heroes, big and small.” —Deb Amlen, The New York Times, 4/17/14

“I have learned so much from you guys. Thank you for being

amazing!” —Reece T.

“I love these books! I read them on my commute bus in the morning,

and during my lunch hour. They are defi nitely not just for the bathroom.”

—Alison G.
