I know that this section is supposed to be about things I write, but this came up, and is needed for your reference. Many things I write get their inspiration from what I have read

Mr Fry recommends that you do not depend on “survival manuals” for plant identification.

These were purchased “pre-Y2K”

 (In talking about preparing for hunting, on page 168, Alan Fry of “Wilderness Survival Handbook,” ISBN 0312147635, says that he makes constant use of the above book. As he, a life-long outdoors-man profits by it, then the rest of us will.)
