I've got the "SAS survival manual" by john wiseman (Lofty). there seem to be several different 'SAS' manuals. who is the author of your set?

I have the John 'Lofty' Wiseman 1999 publishing.

Yesterday I had a long chat with an ex-pathfinder from the parachute regiment. His godfather is Lofty Wiseman. This bloke is a well of survival knowledge. Luckily I will see him again frequently. Any questions you'd like to ask him? I doubt that he is in regular contact with lofty though.

A little off subject, but since we are mentioning Lofty Wiseman...I received from him a real SAS E&E Survival brass button compass through the post some time back. Nice guy to talk to and today he runs ssurrvival coursess in UK.

Great! I'll PM you if I have a few questions. thanks for the offer.

Paul,

It's a terrible book. Send your copy to me immediately, OK? <img src="images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Sladey,

That AF manual is an unclassified document and is available online at:

http://www.wpafb.af.mil/cpdc/pubs/AF/regulation.html

It's in PDF format.

Hope this helps--

There are electronic copies of the military/DOD survival manuals on this website arent there? I have read them twice now. THey noth say about the same thing, but the newer one replaced the older one. They are really good, but as mentioned before, First Aid is lacking.
