US Army Survival Manual: FM 21-76
US Army Survival Manual: FM 21-76
This is the newer civilian version of the classic Army survival handbook. The Guide is filled with the same information provided to the U.S. Army and includes everything from straightforward basic survival material to information on Wilderness medicine and first aid. The manual is filled with information on navigation building shelters, hunting, and the many hazards that you may face.
Identifying and Harvesting Edible and Medicinal Plant
Identifying and Harvesting Edible and Medicinal Plants in Wild (and Not So Wild) Places
Identifying and Harvesting Edible and Medicinal Plants in Wild (and Not So Wild) Places shows you how to find and prepare more than five hundred different plants for nutrition and better health. There are more than 260 detailed line drawings to help you identify a wide range of plants.
Couldn’t agree more. The SAS Survival Handbook in particular has earned a special place in my heart (and my bug out bag!). A wide variety of extremely useful information, from basic survival skills and first aid to advanced navigation techniques and beyond.
Cody Lundin’s “When All Hell Breaks Loose” is also noteworthy, not only for the wealth of information available within, but also for his entertaining writing style. If you find yourself needing to kill some time on the trail, or want a dual purpose survival handbook to pack in your bag (entertaining and informative? yes please!), it’s definitely worth checking out.
The US survival manual is a great book i haven’t finished reading it yet but it is great, practical, and easy to understand and the diagrams are great. love the book can’t wait to finish it and then get when all hell breaks loose. also i got my FM 21-76 at M and I surplus for around five dollars about six something when you add tax a great price to pay to save your life and others.
I have both the SAS Survival Handbook & the FM:21-76, and I practically live by these 2 books.
They are the most informative & detailed of any books I have found.
The next one will be Edible & Medicinal plants.
I hope I don’t have to use it but I’m gonna be ready
Have one at home.
