    Cool Well now...

    I think they're both the same, but the 2nd one is an "e-book" that you down-load. Only thing I see wrong with that is that you won't be able to take it into the field with you. Is the 1st book the same as this one?

    Look at it and tell me.

    Hey Proud, the Ranger Handbook was updated last year (2006). You are linked to the 2000 version. click here and then on Ranger Handbook and you can save it as a .pdf file. I hope you have high speed internet because the file is 7.35 Mb. Otherwise, you are going to be downloading for a while.

    I couldn't find it on their site. If they sell it, I'm sure it's the newer version but Proud can download it free. Just about all the manuals are free.

    Here are a slug that can be downloaded:

    A lot of places are selling these manuals and if you google around a bit you can usually download a good many of them for free.

    The link posted in the thread above the last one I posted takes you right to it. Liked the site you posted but I have problems with downloads.
