Survival Tips

More helpful ideas from the US Army Survival manual, printed in 1970:

Cooking makes most foods more tasty and digestible, and destroys bacteria, toxins, and harmful plant and animal products.

All parts of the animal are edible, inducing the meaty parts of the skull such as the brain, eyes, tongue, and fleshy portions.

Frogs, small snakes, and lizards can be roasted on a stick. Large snakes and eels are better if boiled first. Boil turtles until the shell comes off. Cut up the meat and mix it with tubers and greens to form a soup. Salamanders, roasted on a stick, are edible. Skin all frogs and snakes before cooking as the skin may be toxic.
