 One of the original printings was in the mid 60's, and the main use
was for field resourcefulness training. It was to give people some
ideas on what they could do if they were stuck in hostile territory,
using available materials. It was given to just about anyone who
really had a use for it, and nowadays it's bought in surplus stores by
those of us who have no 'real use' except to learn neat stuff. :)

 While it does go into explicit detail, and most of the steps are
simplified so that it's less dangerous under non-optimal conditions,
try not to blow your head off...
