The Explorer's Secret Book, Teddy Keen

A survival guide. A travelogue. A goldmine of information! Four years ago, I was traveling with friends through a remote corner of the Amazon when we came across an old, abandoned hut. In a corner of the camp, buried under fallen palm trees, we found a metal box that had rusted shut over the years. Curious, we opened it. There we saw a number of notebooks, diaries and sketchbooks, beautifully preserved because they were wrapped in plastic bags. At that moment, we did not yet know that we had found the life's work of an unknown artist and explorer. The letter that came with the books: If you are reading this, my notes have been found. I am leaving them here safely at my camp, with a few other things that I cannot take with me. These notes contain what I have discovered in my life, and I am now sharing them with you. In them you can find everything - from how to make a shelter to how to build a raft and camp in the wild - as well as a few of my own adventures. Read everything carefully. You will need it if you ever go on a journey of discovery yourself. Be a good person, have adventures… and look after your parents
