DON'T DIE IN THE BUNDU ** 1st Edition & SA Army Copy **

This book is a classic among African-specific bushcraft and survival manuals and is still one of the best, despite being written almost 60 years ago. The book consists of eleven chapters covering emergencies, first aid, signaling, shelters, fire, locating water, food, dangerous animals, traps and snares, way-finding, camping, and tracking. The chapters are clearly written and contain a wealth of pertinent information. Illustrated with helpful line drawings.

Colonel Grainger wrote the book with the assistance of well-known experts in Rhodesian ecology, zoology and botany, such as Ray Smithers and R.B. Drummond. The bulk of the book, however, is based on notes compiled by Allan Savory (acknowledged at the beginning of the book as "Lt. C.R. Savory" by Col. Grainger), who was an ecologist with the Rhodesian National Parks and served in the Rhodesia Army Territorial Force. Savory introduced and taught bushcraft and tracker training to C Squadron of the SAS.

An intriguing first edition hardcover with typical cloth boards, published by Howard Timmins in 1967.  Copy has been stamped as being the property of the Officer Commanding Eastern Province Command and also has the typical UM mark.
