Pocket Ref

A lack of information has never ended well for humanity. In the 19th century, doctors thought milk was a good substitute for blood transfusions. In the 20th, teens thought JNCO jeans would be cool forever.

The Pocket Ref lays out information on everything from first aid to mapping, conversion tables to construction. Your bud seeks knowledge ๐Ÿง , reward their good sense with this.
