Survival On Land And Sea
was a survival manual prepared for the U.S. Navy by the Ethnographic Board and
the staff of The Smithsonian Institution, in 1944. It was written for sailors and aircrew who
might find themselves in the wilderness of the arctic, the jungle or the
vastness of the ocean. While it is an
older book, it is still an excellent research tool and covers a wide variety of
topics.
I personally found that the section on how to use the
sun and stars to find direction was very useful.
This book can be found, occasionally, on the used book
market. Since it can be difficult to
find, here is the web address where an electronic version of this
book can be found.
