Product Overview
Navigation, finding food and water, and starting a fire are skills worth studying before you need them outdoors. The Rothco Survival Manual brings those subjects together in a 288-page paperback based on the U.S. Army’s FM 21-76 survival field manual. It gives hikers, hunters, and anyone interested in outdoor preparedness a military reference they can read at home and carry in their pack.
Written instruction with visual guidance
The manual pairs step-by-step explanations with illustrations, giving readers both written directions and visual references as they work through survival techniques. That format is useful when studying an unfamiliar skill: you can follow the sequence, refer to the accompanying illustration, and revisit the material at your own pace.
Its content draws on military survival techniques documented by the U.S. military and used for official training. Alongside navigation, food and water, and fire-starting, the book covers additional outdoor survival subjects. For customers interested in military fieldcraft, it offers a training reference rather than a general collection of outdoor tips.
A paperback for your rucksack
At 5½ by 8½ inches, this softcover book is sized for carrying in a rucksack or bug-out bag. A printed reference also lets you consult the material without relying on a charged device. Read it during trip preparation, then bring it along so the information remains available away from home.
