One of my favorite things
to do is to read books on survival and the outdoors…right…wow!...guess I don’t
have many friends…maybe I need a hobby…
Anyways, I found this
article buried in over a hundred pages of unrelated documents in a PDF in the
Arizona Geological Society, Doug K. Martin Mining Collection. It was created by the Maricopa County Civil
Defense Joint Council in 1962 and is one of the best overall articles that I
have ever read on traveling in the outdoors and survival. It was written with desert survival and
travel in the American Southwest in mind, however, the lessons it teaches can
be applied to any wilderness area.
I copied the article
below: if the pictures are printed, they can be folded and assembled into a
booklet.
I hope that you enjoy
reading it as much as I did. The link to
the original file in the Arizona Geological Society, Doug K. Martin Mining
Collection is below if you would like to view the original file: see pages 5
through 20, for Desert Survival.
