Don't Die in the Bundu by Colonel D. H. Grainger is one of the most famous African bush survival guides ever published and has become a highly collectible title among Rhodesiana enthusiasts, military historians, outdoorsmen, and bushcraft practitioners. Written by a Rhodesia Army officer with extensive field experience, this practical handbook was designed to help soldiers, policemen, game scouts, farmers, hunters, and travellers survive in the often unforgiving conditions of the African bush.
Don't Die in the Bundu covers a wide range of essential survival topics, including navigation, water procurement, shelter, first aid, dangerous animals, poisonous plants, bush hazards, emergency procedures, and practical fieldcraft. Grainger's advice is concise, practical, and based on real-world experience gained in Southern Africa's challenging environments. Although originally intended for those working and travelling in Rhodesia and neighbouring territories, many of the principles remain relevant to outdoor enthusiasts today.
This 11th edition was published by Howard Timmins of Cape Town and represents an increasingly difficult title to locate in good condition. The book's enduring popularity stems from both its practical value and its significance as a piece of Rhodesian military and cultural history. Whether collected for historical interest, military reference, African studies, or bushcraft knowledge, Don't Die in the Bundu remains an important and influential survival handbook from Southern Africa.
