...which made me think of useful "survival" books when I was growing up.
My recollection is that side by side with my BSA Field Book (in the
mid-'50s),
I used the "Bluejacket's Manual". No, I wasn't a Sea Explorer, but many
of the skills were transferrable. Any of you Navy types know whether
it's still G.I.?
