The information provided presumes you have little gear with you, and so relies most heavily on improvised techniques for the topics covered. For example, it won’t tell you how to use your compass (you should already know that), but will tell you how to use the stars, your watch, or the shadow stick method to find direction. It won’t teach you how to use a flint striker, but will cover fire building essentials to aid you in making sure that whatever you do use, it will be successful. There’s a lot of information here. It’s printed in 10.5 point font, to maintain its readability while providing as much information as possible.

This provides a much more durable material than regular cotton for first aid uses such as splinting, slinging, pressure bandages, and more. While the material dries quickly (and thus, preventing bacterial or fungal growth versus regular cotton) it can absorb water from sweating, or from dew collection / still evaporate, and more.
• (2) Two-inch safety pins are included for sling and splint preparation.
