You are correct, it was more survival, now that you mention it. It was around for a while and I remember it was green, the pages were waterproof and ripproof. I never read that much, but I did learn how to capture moisture for drinking water. That's about all I recalled.

Thanks for the book suggestion. Amazon had the 3rd edition of the Wilderness First Responder. I previously grabbed a Boy Scout manual as suggested in another thread, for the basics. Camping, even for 2 weeks, was fine. It when things go wrong that you want to know what to do to stay alive or keep others alive.

Note to the wilderness noobs: After a long day of hiking in the mountains, the cool inviting pool of water that you take your clothes off and dive into, is not, repeat, is not remotely warm. I'm not saying I did that.. <whistles>

I joke with friends about the new pecking order should there be some mega-disaster and we kind of 'start over', how my skills in making beer, wine and spirits will have me high on the totem pole.

Thanks again for the AMA and for your responses!
