N2  - Based on personal experience this book is an account of the many practical pieces of equipment which infantry soldiers need in jungle situations but which are no longer (or never have been) officially provided. These include footwear, knives, personal weapons, RPGs, compasses, hammocks, clothing, insect protection and repellents, load carrying gear, medical kits, rations, and waterproof bags. The author highlights important causes of such snafus particularly: cost cutting measures in production, focussing on unit cost of equipment rather than the downline costs of unnecessary injury, illness or incapacity, and the frequent complete absence of jungle experience among specifiers and designers
