alt Hacker NewsThe version of this that we had when I worked on Erebus (2009-2017) was more fun.
It had a section about crossing crevasses with combinations of sleds and snomobiles and tracked vehicles, crevasse rescue etc. In the middle of otherwise serious text it said "to recover from this situation, you might elect to [something], or possibly [something else]. Either way, a change of underwear is recommended."
If people want I can try to dig it up.
EDIT: found it. p244. https://www.eol.ucar.edu/sites/default/files/files_live/priv... It's really interesting to compare these and see how USAP's risk posture has changed. No more adventures allowed.

So wait.. does that mean they no longer recommend a change of underwear in such cases?
Essential reading for field operations is §3.2f Field-Camp Liquor Rations.
Also, fwiw, it's the 6th edition dated February 2001 (per Acknowledgments).
I like how the very first pages for this one are related to emergency procedures. Gotta put the critical stuff front and center!
Reminds me of this terrifying photo:
