One of the best survival guides for he field EVER written is the BSA boyscout handbook. Good first aid, good food, good shelter, good advice!

Sorry, I've never read it. They wouldn't let me join. *sigh*

I agree it is pretty good.

That's o.k. they would not let me join the girl scouts either.

Somewhere around here, I have an old, torn and tattered BS handbook I picked up at a yard sale. I think I put far more miles on that thing than the boy it originally belonged to.

If the Girls Scouts had been more like the Boy Scouts, I'd have likely joined the Girl Scouts.

GCF, you could've dated a Boy Scout and "borrowed" his book. Check yard sales and thrift stores and get a copy. The only thing I know that is as good a reference guide would be the Foxfire books, and there's 10 or 12 volumes of that, IIRC.

Of course, Wolf, you are correct, but I was only trying to be funny. I really wanted to join the Sea Scouts. Both of my brothers joined. My pop was of the impression that his daughter didn't do things like that. He sure was mad when I told him I'd joined the Army! lol
