Wilderness Long-Term Survival Guide: Forgotten Skills to Make the Wild Your Home

by Nicole Apelian, Global Brother (editor)

The Wilderness Long-Term Survival Guide is the first handbook that helps you NOT just survive in the wild, but to LIVE there! You can use it to turn the Wild into your second home and become self-reliant long term. With this guide, you can make your piece of paradise far from the hustle and bustle of modern living. If you ever need to bug out somewhere or have to live in the wild and build everything from zero, just like the pioneers who chose a piece of land in the middle of nowhere, then this is the kind of knowledge you want to have on hand. Or if you just want to have these skills with you when you go out foraging, picking medicinal plants, hiking, hunting, camping, or whatever it is that you’re doing outdoors then you might want to have this book with you. The Wilderness Long-Term Survival Guide is edited by Dr. Nicole Apelian, a wilderness expert and herbalist who survived for 57 days on the History Channel’s TV show Alone on the remote Vancouver Island despite her autoimmune disease (MS).

About the author

Dr. Nicole Apelian is an herbalist, a biologist, an author, an anthropologist, a wilderness skills instructor, and a mother. Nicole was a challenger on the second and fifth seasons of the History Channel’s TV series “Alone”, where she thrived in the wilderness totally solo with little more than her knife and her wits, and was recently on the UK Channel 4 documentary series "Surviving the Stone Age", now available on Amazon Prime & Discovery +. She is the author of three books, The Lost Book of Herbal Remedies: The Healing Power of Plant Medicine, A Reference Guide to Surviving Nature: Outdoor Preparation and Remedies (GEAR-WILDLIFE-WEATHER-FIRST AID), and The Forager's Guide to Wild Foods: Edible Plants, Lichens, Mushrooms, and Seaweeds.
An unexpected diagnosis of multiple sclerosis in 2000 led Nicole to apply her scientific research skills towards her own personal wellness. She focuses on a healthy living strategy, including deep nature connection and gratitude practices. Through changes in her lifestyle & diet, recognizing profound mind-body linkages, and making and using her own herbal remedies, Nicole went from bedridden to being fully alive and from surviving to thriving.

She has spent years living in nature with the San Bushmen of the Kalahari Desert, one of the last Indigenous peoples who still live as hunter-gatherers. Developing strong relationships within the tribe helped Nicole learn many of the remedies and skills she practices and teaches today and she continues her work with the San through her non-profit, "The Origins Project".

At home in the Pacific Northwest, she makes her own herbal medicines from local plants as part of her healthy living strategy, especially as related to autoimmune issues, and has her own herbal medicinal apothecary line.
