The Practical Manual Series — The Field Set (5 Books)

Five illustrated manuals covering the skills that matter when you are away from help.

Map Reading & Land Navigation — 63 pages, 24 diagrams. Find your way with a map and compass, from zero.

Weather & Sky Signs — 42 pages, 15 diagrams. Know what tomorrow is doing by looking up.

Cold Weather & Winter Survival — 50 pages, 15 diagrams. How cold kills, and how to stop it.

Field Water & Sanitation — 45 pages, 15 diagrams. Find water, treat it properly, and don't make yourself sick.

Knots, Hitches & Lashings — 33 pages, 14 diagrams. The twenty knots that do almost all the work.

These five fit together. The weather guide tells you the cold front is coming; the cold weather guide tells you what that means for you; the navigation guide gets you out; the water guide keeps you from getting ill on the way; and the knots guide ties down everything in between.

Each is adapted from public-domain United States government field manuals, rewritten in plain English and illustrated throughout. No jargon, no padding — and every one of them tells you the limits of what it teaches, which is the part most guides leave out.
