This review is from: 1999 Military Field Manual on Survival, Evasion, and Recovery Army, Marine Corps, Navy, Air Force Multiservice Manual (Ring-bound)

I purchased this item because I thought it was the small (~3 x 6") ring bound version printed on waterproof paper for inclusion in a survival kit. It is simply the manual printed on loose leaf 8.5 x 11" paper and placed in a binder. You can download the manual free from numerous places on the Net including www.equipped.com and print it out yourself for the cost of ink and paper. Needless to say, I returned it.
