in one of the old flight safety mags was an insert.
it was printed on yellow paper from memory and started....

Dear Ian, at the risk of boring you fartless, a last minute brief - Bush Techniques/Survival. A random Potpourri....

the editor prefaced it with a note.
"the following is a facsimile of a letter that appeared on my desk in the form of a very poor quality photocopy. I have changed only the names to protect the innocent. Some aspects may be contentious and perhaps slightly less than 'legal' but the letter contains so much good common sense that I thought it should survive intact."

I actually had this letter posted on the SAAA web site when I ran it.

it is truely the most sage piece of advice I have ever seen written in aviation.
I have used many of its points and hints in making my own flying safer.

who wrote it? I owe him a carton of beer. W8
