are several versions, but the paperback light blue cover is the same one I use in case daily--perfect for his age through high school.
email me if you have trouble finding it.
+1 for the Air Force survival manual

It is broad in both the amount of material covered and the different environments.
Very tried and true and no marketing of any whiz bang specialized gear.

Hard to beat Boy Scout manual. Had an old copy from two

older brothers who were scouts. By the time I was 10, 1950 I had it committed to memory. It was a late 40's edition I believe. Paperback size and about an inch thick. Ebay and Amazon probably have them for $10 or less. Lots of good woodscraft not just how to eat bugs and bark.
typo 10 in 1960
