| I remember our RAF survival manuals well. In the event of a shark circling your dinghy, the Sea one advised, 'everyone face outwards in a circle and slap the water to drive it away.' On a sea survival exercise off Singapore we had to do that and that encouraged the beast to hurtle TOWARDS us, diving under our single-skinned dinghy. Our Nav, checking the manual again, said "it's OK chaps its not a shark, its a dolphin!" It remained friendly, but we were afraid the barnacled skin could sink us nevertheless. Nowadays we learn that sharks are ATTRACTED by splashing, as though from a fish in trouble! Last edited by iangedwards_104; 04-12-2009 at 06:16 AM. |

| How to eat well in (Finnish) nature by Finnish Defence Forces. In Finnish but with a good set of drawings. Many of the hunting traps described on the manual are in fact illegal in Finland (and most of Europe). http://www.mil.fi/reservilainen/pdf/...malumo1985.pdf |
