Who Is Tim MacWelch?
Tim MacWelch has been an obsessed devotee of survival and
self-reliance for over three decades. His love of the outdoors
started at a young age, growing up on a farm in the Piedmont hills
of Virginia. Eating wild edibles and learning about the animals in
the forest were part of his rural youth, but as a teenager, he
couldn't get enough of the subject of survival. In his early
twenties, he began working with kids through youth workshops for
schools, church groups, the Boy Scouts, Cub Scouts, and other youth
throughout the region. He still continues to volunteer his time and
has worked with thousands of Scouts and other children over the
past thirty years. In the spring of 1997, he opened a business
teaching wilderness skills to adults, and he still continues this
business today. Over the years, Tim has been a featured survival
expert for National Geographic, CNN, Good Morning
America, Conde Nast Traveller, Washington Post,
Men's Journal, FOX 5 DC and several other organizations. Tim
has also written scores of articles for OFF-GRID magazine,
and is the lead storyteller for their regular feature article "What
If?". Tim has been writing for Outdoor Life magazine since
2010 and has become a regular contributor to the "Outdoor Life
Survival" website, creating hundreds of blogs and articles for
OutdoorLife.com. Tim's strong relationship with the Outdoor Life
brand led to the publishing of Tim's first book with OL's sibling
company, Weldon Owen publishing. Tim's first three titles with
Weldon Owen were on the New York Times Bestseller list in 2014 and

Praise for Water and Fire Survival Handbook:
"MacWelch is able to take very serious, sometimes even dire, survival scenarios and write about them in an accessible way. His writing is easy to digest and most importantly, it makes you want to get out and practice the skills and concepts he covers. His latest book should be mandatory reading for all outdoorsmen and women."--Alex Robinson, Editor-in-Chief of Outdoor Life magazine "Tim MacWelch clearly walks the walk and knows firsthand what's involved with staying alive in the backcountry in addition to being a talented teacher who brilliantly relays the essential know-how for surviving in the wilds. Anyone who ventures outdoors should soak up the field-tested information in this practical handbook!"--Tony Nester, Author & Owner of Ancient Pathways Survival School "Survival is more than just guns, knives, and self-defense techniques. It's also knowing how to stave off waterborne pathogens and create fire. That's why this book is a must-read. Tim's writing is both incredibly engaging and packed full of life-saving wisdom."--Patrick Vuong, owner of Tiga Tactics and former head editor of Recoil Offgrid Magazine
