survival manuals

One of the common questions I see repeated over and over on the forum - What are the best books for a survivalist library? Since the topic of books is brought up so much, I would like to post an article books. Some books should be a given, such as religious books and first aid books. Who...

I pretty much quit going to the doctor back in the 90's. I've always been fairly healthy, but when I hit 40, I noticed I was bouncing back a little slower than I had been only ten years ago. Last weekend my buddy's wife turned 40 and it took me until Tuesday to fully recover from that bash...

Hi, I'm newto the board and have been lurking for a while just researching. I am interested in stocking up on manuals and other books to keep in my BOL to have on hand as references. I am looking for medical and dental guides, food preservation, wild plant ID, weapons, water, etc. I know that...

So I'm in the library-building phase. So, please give me your thoughts on the best books for a SHTF library. With the following assumptions: 1. Physical books only, made of paper. 2. No religious texts: the ones that matter to me I already have, and that's probably true for anyone else who...

Not sure if this has been linked to before but a buddy sent it to me and I found a lot of the files to be rather helpful. If this has been posted before, I apologize, but I did a search and couldn't find it (I will admit it wasn't the most through of searches)...

Did you buy a subscription to the Survivalist magazine? ......... when was the last time you had a new issue delivered?

If you have friends or family members who are not into prepping (but should be) or are just getting started, give them this Emergency Prepareness Guide (PDF) published by LA Fire Dept/CERT. It is straight forward, thorough and non-threatening - perfect for those who are sceptics.

Stumbled across this, though some might find it useful. http://www.cd3wd.com/CD3WD_40/CD3WD/index.htm

not for entertainment but for knowledge in prepping and/or PSHTF, living as much off the grid as you can? I just finished reading "When All Hell Breaks Loose" and I'm currently reading "The Encyclopedia of Country Living". Thanks for any and all suggestions. Suzanne

Have you given thought to the value of a real nice stocked library in the event of eowawki. Not only to educate the young but to rebuild. Those with technical skill sets will be in demand but to educate next generation in these expertises with text books would be a God send.

Hello everyone here on the survivalist boards, I recently purchased a kindle and have loaded it with some basic files (Army survival manual, Army Medical-first aid manual, Worst Case Scenario handbook, some survival cookbooks, the anarchist cookbook...) Anyway I prefer pdf files but am open to...

Ok, as you can tell by my question I'm new to this and I'm looking for a good all around book that can be thrown into the 'to-go" package, and for research material. Willing to buy more than one if they cover the most important items, or are written by survival gurus that must be included in...

I have a nice notebook I'm thinking about starting a few practical survival articles on topics I know I'd need refreshing in when the SHTF. I'll be honest, I use this website any time I have a chance and have a question about anything related to the outdoors, survival, preparing, etc. But when...

I began this week downloading and printing off the owners manuals for my preps -- firearms, alternative cooking stoves, propane lights, etc. -- and putting them into sleeves (2 pages to a sleeve) and putting them into note books. In the event of a significant event there may be be no power for...

SOF Medical Handbook I learned long ago, that one my greatest skills, was my ability to read, comprehend and then apply what i have learned...In other words, i know how to learn..That said, I know that I can not know everything, and what I don't know and am actively aquiring knowledge thru...

Your Survival library One of the most important aspects of your preparedness is your knowledge. Books is a great resources for tips and knowledge and I suggest that start building your own with some mixed books in different subjects. Books may be expensive so I suggest that you that you look on...

Does anyone think it would be a good idea, as a collective community, to create a new forum section that combines all kinds of varying facts that have been verified about surviving in general? I'm talking various stickies of general survivalism, urban survivalism, suburban survivalism, nature...

Downloads: A new file has been added by MCLMM: FM 21-15 - Care and Use of Individual Clothing & Equipment - 1985 Shows folks how to use the old-school ALICE gear as well as basic field gear and protective equipment. Good resource not before available as a PDF previously.:thumb:

We see posts all the time mentioning the SAS survival guide or the Special Forces Handbook. What commercially available field manuals do you believe to be must haves?
