"Figure 185: Improvised Sunglasses"
"Figure 29: Extracting Water From Vines"
I found these images in a book entitled "FM 21 - 76/ Survival," which was distributed as a field manual to U.S. soldiers during the Vietnam War. There is a lot of good information about edible and medicinal jungle plants, how to keep your feet protected, and how to devise traps. And then there are these bizarre pictures. I liked the sunglasses because I keep breaking the ones I buy - this seems like a perfect solution...except that it wouldn't block out the sun and I'd look like catwoman wandering around in San Francisco.
I like the second image for obvious reasons. Even better when turned 90 degrees. I love ephemera.
