  The IMH contains a whole host of instructions that may lead to loss of digits. Its kind of a "safety third" document for really shitty situations, lol.

    Is there a safer way to make IED’s? I would assume that guerrilla warfare is inherently a “safety third” type of situation anyway.

      There are relatively safer ways to achieve the same objectives. A lot of the safer ways to do things are also a lot more efficient. Safety is quite relative when it comes to anything that explodes.

  That was a classic that got passed around our high school... My favorites were the ones that started with practically nothing. IIRC, they made gunpowder from campfire ashes, a 5 gallon bucket, and a t-shirt filter. Another one - was it rocket fuel? - was made from urine! I think you could even progress that one from urea nitrate to nitric acid, and with the improvised sulfuric acid from elsewhere in the book, make actual dynamite! but our high school teacher warned us that many high school geniuses had blown themselves up making dynamite. Anyway we actually didn't care about blowing things up, really.... we were into fireworks!!!! So we enjoyed concentrating the powder from zillions of sparklers to make an "artificial sun." We also made humungous smoke bombs that went on for a long time making the neighbors antsy.
