The
following article has been generously contributed for your reading pleasure by
Rourke at Modern
Survival Online. We strongly urge our readers to take Rourke’s advice and
download or print (or both) the following guides, which are available 100% free.
Ideally, retain a paper copy if you have a survival folder, and save a copy to
your reserve USB drive, which should be a component of your bug out survival bag
or stored at your bug out location.
There are tons of good downloads in the Survival
Database Download section of this
website. For this article – I have selected 10 that everyone should have either
printed and put away, or placed on a USB drive – or better yet both.
So – let’s
get to it:
#10. 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.
#9. 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.
For meats and seafood try this book at Amazon:
#8. Rangers
Handbook (2006) –
Crammed with info on demolitions, booby traps, communications, patrolling,
tactical movement, battle drills, combat intelligence and much more.
#7. 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.
#6. 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.
#5. 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.
#4. 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.
#3. 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.
#2. FM
21-76-1 Survival-Evasion-Recovery (1999)
– Excellent manual geared towards the soldier that finds himself behind enemy
lines.
#1. FM
21-76 US Army Survival Manual –
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!

of all – they are all 100% free. So, feel free to download them all.
