E-Book Overview
This book is a major revision of the Survival Medicine FAQ's (Frequently Asked Questions) originally written for the misc. survivalism Usenet newsgroup in 1997. It was written in response to recurring posts asking the same questions and the fact that many answers were often wrong and occasionally dangerous. It hasn't undergone any changes or revisions since then.
