Security put out - time for a bath.
Often time in the field for many days our clothes would ROT on our backs.
Combine rotting clothes with heat rash then look down to see leeches trying to hitch a ride.
If they do get a ride, you either burn them off, roll them around until they coagulate,
into a hard ball and fall off, or spray them with insect repellent.

 

End of mission building LZ Hardtimes, probably around Fall 1969

Field of edible plant. The root was shaped like a sweet potato. Peel and eat.
It was DRY and hard with little taste but it was a snack.
