LAKEWOOD, N.Y., Sept. 17, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Luck favors the prepared, said Louis Pasteur, the brilliant mind behind the pasteurization process. As the developer of many known vaccines today, he thoroughly lived up to his quote by preventing many a sickness early on. And so proves author George Sherwood with his new survival guide called Survival and The Hobo Connection, released by Xlibris, by presenting practical tips on how to live without the comforts of modern technology.

About the Author

At the age of thirteen, George Sherwood found himself in a desperate situation. After having lived in the woods for just over two weeks' time with no food and only a poorly made shelter, Mr. Sherwood made a promise to himself. He vowed that this "would never ever happen to him again without knowing what to do and how to do it for complete and healthy survival." At that time, the author became an intense student of survival and has remained so for more than fifty years. He has lived under survival conditions on four separate occasions and has lived and traveled throughout the United States, Canada, the Middle East, and Northern Africa. Mr. Sherwood has been a survival instructor for over seventeen years, including three years at North Idaho College in Coeur D'Alene, Idaho. He now resides in Western New York.
