HOW do I buy this book online?
              It's out-of-print in this version. It's still available in the larger, combined
              version. Call us.

At first glance, the price seems high for a book measuring 5 1/2" x 3 1/2" x 6/10" . But its 230 pages are JAM PACKED full of information on survival & evasion tips, eating off the land, hygiene, medical, orientation, etc. There's no fluff in it! Best of all, the type is large enough so an old fogie like me can read it! It's loaded with drawings and line art to illustrate techniques, traps, snares, hooks, edible and poisonous plants and mushrooms. (I know, as long as the Kroger store is still open, who'd consider a hearty meal of bracken fern and kelp, a side order of gilled fungi with nutgrass tubers for dessert? Yeah, it makes my mouth water, too! BUT IT'S ALL IN THERE, and that's not even scratching the surface of the edible foods information.)

This is a MUST HAVE book for anyone who wants to survive in the outdoors. I strongly urge you to order 2 copies. One for your vehicle's glove compartment and one for your evac kit.

Included are instructions for digging for water near an ocean (there's fresh water there, if you know where to dig), near a swamp, in a desert, etc., as well as how to rig a solar still, water transpiration bags and other moisture collectors and how to get water from plants and cacti. The amount and quality of information is incredible.

The Official Pocket Survival Manual is sure to become a survival standard. It retails for $15.00 plus $3.00 postage. But, you know me, I discount everything to my customers. For you, it's only $13.00 US plus $3.00US postage. And I'll even give you a money-back guarantee: If you're not pleased, delighted, satisfied with the book, return it to me in resellable condition and I'll refund your money (less postage).
