Synopsis
This Book "Survival Kit, Individual Hot-Wet Environment" covers the U.S. Army Special Forces two part survival kit that was developed for Green Berets serving in the Republic of Vietnam. Beginning with the Small Development Requirement (SDR)* Special Forces sent to the Department of the Army in February 1963 for an "Individual Aid and Survival Kit for Special Warfare" to the cancellation of MIL-S-36681 in April 1976 - this book looks at how this kit was developed for Special Forces by the U.S. Army Limited War Laboratory and FRAASS Surgical Manufacturing Corporation Incorporated of New York, N.Y. (* A cleaned up copy of this SDR, including the 4 concept drawings and companion container drawing to the Army Approval letter is included in the Appendix.)Many collectors are not aware there were two similar but distinct kits from the very beginning of this development effort. Nor are they aware there was also a "Hot-Dry Environment" kit that was developed from the SDR and delivered to Aviation units serving in Vietnam because the Army was so far behind in providing air crews with survival kits and gear. Some people believe this 2 part survival kit was designed for MAC-V SOG. The author provides information about the first Hot-Wet Environment 1967 development and contract versions of the kit to show it was always intended for Green Berets serving in Southeast Asia. And then provides information the second version or the 1968 development and contract kits that were developed in parallel with the 1967 version may well have been developed for SOG. This book has over 57 color plates, 15 color diagrams, 142 color photos and two component tables. (The front and rear covers are not included in this count.) This book contains photos of the never seen unpacked fishing kit, mosquito headnet and mittens and the sewing kit.The appendix includes photos of the author's 1967 FRAASS U.S. Air Force Survival Kit, Individual "Tropical" for SAC airmen and a scanned-in copy of the "Hot-Wet Survival Information" booklet from one of the author's 1967 contract version Hot-Wet Environment kits. This booklet is still issued in U.S. military survival kits today. In addition the appendix includes photos of the rare Kings Point Reserve kit box. This book is intended for collectors of U.S. Military Survival Kits and equipment. It of course should also aid anyone tasked to design a survival kit for individual use.Click-on "Look Inside" to see the complete Table of Contents (TOC) for this book.Qi PressFirst Printing May 2019

- y***y (260)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseI recently purchased "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" on eBay, and I'm absolutely thrilled with the experience! The seller was exceptionally responsive and took great care in packaging the book securely. It arrived even sooner than expected and in pristine condition—exactly as described in the listing. Douglas Adams' masterpiece is a witty and whimsical journey through the cosmos, and I'm delighted to have this fantastic edition in my collection.The Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy (#267107931920)
- n***t (147)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseReally happy I was able to find a copy of this book in great quality and at lower price no less! I will say though that the shipping could've been more consistent, not only taking longer than expected but no communication for like a month from USPS or tracking. For a second there I thought this got lost in the mail! But thankfully the packaging and shipment arrived just in time! Thank you so much for helping me complete my collection!World Of Kong - Natural History Of Skull Island (#267129044909)

Happy to deal with again.Die Trying - 1st Edition/1st Printing (#267136793028)
