For my money this is easily the most entertaining U.S. training film to come out of WW2.

Some of the most valuable items in the jungle are: 1. Dry set of clothes to get dry at night. 2. Extra socks for drying feet at night. 3. Antifungal foot/crotch powder. 4. Iodine for water purification and first aid. 5. Tarp and hammock.-can be made from parachute. 6. Mosquito head net. If I had those,a machete, a pocket knife, a fire starter and metal canteen I could survive for a long time.....maybe a month or two if I can find enough food. You also need salt.

These old black and white films are so cool thank you for sharing them ,i have subscribed to your channel.

There are some outdated instructions in these fantastic USN & US Army Air Corps training films from WW2 through the late 70’s. However 99% of the tactics are still recommended today. That’s strong, timeless survival doctrine. An example in this film? Discarding the foam inserts in the survival kit. The foam can extend fire. Pad sprains. Dress wounds. Make fishing bobbers. Secure heavy items like flare pistols & ammo in flotation sacks for river crossings. Mitigate blisters & hot spots. Heck depending on the foam one could even tie flies for fly fishing.

the Pilot is Van Heflin from the movies "Shane" and Airport 1970. Very good actor imho...

Whether traveling in more obvious adventure conveyance like a kayak or bush plane or less obvious transportation like a car or Greyhound bus, a preparedness minded person will gear up for possibilities outside the false security of the cockpit, boat or automobile.

this is the stuff i love to watch.

Obrigado pelo envio.

This is only the first half of the film. Total length is one hour.

animals and snakes and things

I learned that cigarettes and amphetamines are important parts of a survival kit.
