Hvordan man krydser en flod fyldt med piratfisk. Hvordan man afleverer bestikkelse. Hvordan man stopper et løbsk tog. Hvordan man undgår at blive bortført af en ufo. Hvordan man bygger et læsted i sneen. Hvordan man undslipper fra en bils bagagerum. Hvordan man behandler et skorpionstik. Man bør altid være forberedt på det værst tænkelige – man er i fare fra det øjeblik, man træder uden for sin hoveddør! Denne bog giver med en række illustrationer trin-for-trin instruktioner i, hvad man har brug for at vide. Desuden indeholder bogen et appendiks med rejsestrategier, udtryk og gestus, man kan bruge – eller bør undgå! Bogen fortæller, hvad man kan komme ud for, og hvordan man klarer vanskelige problemer og overlever farlige situationer. Man kan vælge at læse den som ren underholdning, men oplysningerne og rådene er korrekte og bygger på grundig research.

Hvad gør man, når man bliver angrebet af en haj? Eller en krokodille? Eller en bjørn? Hvordan bringer man et barn til verden i en taxa? Hvordan springer man ud af en kørende bil?

Det er en uundværlig guide for alle, der er nervøse for at flyve eller for at færdes i lande, hvor klimaet er anderledes end det danske, og hvor jordskælv, bomber, dræberbier og giftslanger hører til dagens orden.
