About the Author:
OUTDOOR CHANNEL television personality Michael Bane is one of the most unique voices in American journalism. In addition to producing and hosting two hit television series, SHOOTING GALLERY and THE BEST DEFENSE on OC, Bane has journeyed from the cocktail parties of New York celebrity journalism, to small wars in the Third World, to the executive boardrooms of some of the most successful companies in American and, most recently, to the ends of the earth in search of adventure. Those adventures climbing big mountains, scuba diving flooded cave systems, trekking through Alaska in midwinter and Death Valley in midsummer and kayaking spectacular rivers around the world have been chronicled in such magazines as Mens Journal, Mens Fitness, National Geographic Adventure, Esquire and literally hundreds of other publications. His Over The Edge: A Regular Guy s Odyssey In Extreme Sports prompted the Wall Street Journal to ask, How did Michael Bane become the George Plimpton from hell? Bane is a veteran firearms instructor, trained in multiple martial arts, has been involved in multiple simulations for civilians, military and law enforcement and conceived and created the most successful show on personal defense ever, THE BEST DEFENSE. He is considered one of the top authorities on personal risk management in the U.S. today.

Indispensable! Bane's Trail Safe is a must-read for anyone who spends time in the wilderness... --Gavin De Becker, Author, The Gift of Fear
Michael Bane uses the great outdoors and the sports related to it as a canvas on which he deftly illustrates how to be Trail Safe. Even better, his hard-earned and well thought out advice applies to everyone, no matter where they may be. Trail Safe could just as accurately be titled Life Safe. --Walt Rauch, Author, Real World Survival: What Has Worked For Me
