I bought a survival guide paperback book today, called SAS Survival Handbook: For Any Climate, in Any Situation. It covers a great deal of survival information that is not only good for quick reference, but accurate and detailed for emergency situations. I’m thinking of using it for bathroom reading material until the float.
