US Air Force Survival Handbook 2017: Survival Evasion Resistance Escape - Paperback
by Department Of The Army (Author)
Sometimes eating bugs is the right thing to do
"When food is limited and insects are available, they can become a valuable food source."
That bit of practical wisdom comes from this year's new US Air Force Survival handbook.
However, "Caterpillars with hairs should be avoided. If eaten, the hairs may become lodged in the throat causing irritation or infection."
More promisingly, "The praying mantis. . . contains 58 percent protein, 12 percent fat, three percent ash, vitamin B complex, and vitamin A. The insect's outer skeleton is an interesting compound of sugar and amino acids."
The handbook addresses the needs of an Air Force individual who has been captured or otherwise isolated by accident or operational mishap. Whatever his or her mission may have been before, the new mission immediately becomes to "return to friendly control without giving aid or comfort to the enemy, to return early and in good physical and mental condition."
The 652-page US Air Force Survival Handbook provides detailed guidance on how, with good fortune, that might be accomplished.
Brand new and the best available copy, this handbook is a must-have reference for the prepper or outdoorsman. Batteries last days, printed books last decades
