An integral part of a Canadian Forces pilot's training is the study of survival techniques. This short drama shows the importance of this survival training as two pilots, forced to parachute into dense bush, put their knowledge to the test. Primarily for training of Canadian Forces personnel, the film contains practical information on how to build shelters and fire signals, and how to supplement rations with game and edible plants.
