E-books and online resources are the lifeblood of the prepper movement and sharing them with other preppers is equally important. I print off the most useful ones and put them in plastic in a large binder. You could have every e-book in the world on your hard drive but if the power goes out they will all be useless unless printed on paper.

Please post links to as many survival/self-reliance E-books and .pdf files and collections as you can. Let's grow this into a huge resource!

I'll start it off with a few random picks and add more later...

FM 4-25-11 First Aid (2002) - Military First Aid Manual. First aid information is a must – get training before you need it – use this manual for reference.

Guide to Canning – Being able to preserve crops to be able to provide for yourself and your family long after the growing season is over is important. This guide will help with that.

Rangers Handbook (2006) – Crammed with info on demolitions, booby traps, communications, patrolling, tactical movement, battle drills, combat intelligence and much more

Where There is No Dentist - The author uses straightforward language and careful instructions to explain how to: examine patients; diagnose common dental problems; make and use dental equipment; use local anesthetics; place fillings; and remove teeth.

NATO Emergency War Surgery – While this is certainly not a manual that would stand alone in most persons emergency/disaster library, it is an absolutely necessary resource if you expect to handle any type of trauma where immediate comprehensive medical care is not available.

A Guide to Raised Bed Gardening – This is not an “all knowing” gardening book – however it provides a lot of information to the “urban gardener” before or after TSHTF. Best to get the experience and knowledge of gardening NOW rather than later.

FM 3-06 Combined Arms Operations in Urban Terrain - Combat techniques covered in the manual which may be very valuable in a “Roadwarrior”-type world.

1881 Household Cyclopedia – A massive resource of information that much of it has been lost over the past 203 generations. From Angling to Knitting – its here.

FM 21-76-1 Survival-Evasion-Recovery (1999) – Excellent manual geared towards the soldier that finds himself behind enemy lines

FM 21-76 US Army Survival Manual - From Amazon.com: This manual has been written to help you acquire survival skills. It tells you how to travel, find water and food, shelter yourself from the weather and care for yourself if you become sick or injured. This information is first treated generally and then applied specifically to such special areas as the Arctic, the desert, the jungle and the ocean.1970 Military Issue Manual. General Introduction and Individual and Group Survival Orientation Navigation, Finding Water In All Parts of The Globe. How To Obtain Food, Start a Fire and much more!

SAS Survival Handbook

I first bought a copy of this years ago and now own two. One at home in the city and one up north. This is a MUST HAVE book IMHO.

Thanks for the links WildE
I just read "unarmed Self Defense" by Ash Bauer ( I needed to download the PC app first) - The article outlines some self defense methods that you need training in to be competent (pro's & con's of each style) and then it goes on to describe some easy to make weapons that can do some serious damage (and where to aim for) There are more weak area's than I was aware of. It's a must read if you feel that your self defense capabilities are "below par" for whatever reason. I really liked the rock in a sock & lock tied to pantyhose/stockings. (just having the knowledge makes me feel a bit more confident and the alternative "weapons" cost nothing to make) Well worth a look!

Free Downloadable Pioneer Handbooks, (for those that dig the old school), you do have to sign up with your email but you do get them for free.


If your home library contains more volumes about survival-related topics than your local public library, you might be a prepper.

Evenin' All,

For those just starting out and need to build an e-book library, I suggest you go to prepperlink dot com and become a member. Once you are a member you can download from their e-book library.

Cheers,

Mountainman.

I think you should by GC Mountainman's book!
As soon as he gives me a paypal invoice, I will buy it. Saw a copy at another Prepper's house who he met up with on his Cross Canada Tour this year. I was impressed and that is hard to do!
