The Brits look at Survival.

                                                          
It has to be one of my favorite books ever. Survival is written by the same people as the makers of the Combat and Survival Magazines.  It may have been written in the 80's but it's jammed full of timeless tidbits.  A hundred and eighty-eight pages long it contains a whole section on survival knives and another on boots.  The whole book is packed full of pictures and even some informative list.  One of my favorite sections is where a British soldier's whole load is dissected from the toothbrush to the rifle.  Note this book is about fifty percent composed of military survival content.  I use this as a refreshing alternative to the identical twin survival manuals I always pick up.Following are some section headings. 

Scoff That Ratpack!
The Search For Water.
Purifying Water
Flint Tools
Alternative to Stone
Hunting with Spears
Shelter for Survival.

  This is just a few section headings to wet your appetite! This is not your typical survival manual!  It definitely has a unique old world feel.  From the tea bags in the food packets to the 58 Pattern Webbing Gear displayed, it offers not a new but a different look at survival.
