I've decided to start getting serious about all this.
I'm starting to garden, I started to learn how to fire rifles, planning on renovating some old house of us, etc.
What are some of the essential guide you'll recommend?
* general
* military guides
* surgery, medicine
* bushcraft
My first advice would be:
Survive the economic collapse, by Piero San Giorgio
Synthetical, didactic, complete, explain the causes and their consequences and what you should do about all of this.
Is pic related a good starter for bushcraft?
Watch Ray Mears and Les Hiddens on youtube.

>>682911 me again. Sorry to shit up the thread with all these posts, but I'm stoned and have no planning abilities at the moment.
I have lots of stuff saved to my laptop, I'll upload it now and then post one more time with a list of links. I've got a shitload of infos, a shitload of videos, a shitload of documents... just a general shitload of content. Pic related, 571 items.
>>682911

>>682917
You're welcome, anon. That's just the tip of the iceberg: I'm currently uploading the docs folder, and it's got over a gig of pdfs (including the foxfires, sorry for the overlap) covering everything from military manuals to ragnar's urban survival to tanning and leatherwork to trapping and furs to medical to... well, here's a screenshot of the subfolders in docs. Doesn't really do the collection justice, to be honest. Guess you'll just have to get it and see if there's anything there you can use.

Thank you! I scoffed a bit more than just the Foxfire pdfs. Hope you don't mind.
>>682937
Thanks anon.
Going to download this when i get home.
Love roos. They're good fun to watch. Don't like hitting them in the car though. They're also great meat. Most of all though they're gorgeous little fuckers, especially if they're domesticated or used to humans do you can give them a pat or hand feed them.
Other than Roos also have wallabies, wombats, cheeky fucken kookaburras, echidnas, eagles, possums, as well as deer, pigs, foxes and rabbits for plenty of hunting. And there's shitloads of all of them around. I don't kill the native species or any birds because that's a cunt's act, apart from roos if you can get a property owners permission, but there's plenty of other shit to hunt that makes for a good stalk and usually good eating too. Fuck I love this country.

Still uploading the vids folder The 'unsorted' folder just turned out to be more videos. Hey, all this is just stuff I found on the internet, so it's all out there if you're willing to look -- but I spent over 9000 hours in Google seeking out useful tidbits of information to share with any interested anons. Anybody got ideas/links to shit I don't have, but should? Feed me.
>>682689

what do you guys think of "Hawke’s Green Beret Survival Manual: Essential Strategies" and "SAS survival Handbook"?
>>682747
thanks anon
great looking out on the foxfire series... super stoked to read up on all of those topics...looking online, I'm seeing the whole 14 book series for like $216... pdfs are great but laying in a hammock reading with a physical book is still enjoyable to me...call me an old timer
>>683386
Thanks. Do you plan on updating these folders now and then?
Protip: Stay away from The Bushcraft Bible by James Henry.
>published in 2015
>the author writes as if he lived a hundred years ago
I was really disappointed by how he seems to be stuck in the past. Just reading his suggestions on what to wear, it's like he ignores all modern developments in clothes and equipment and suggest only things people wore two hundred years ago
>>684013
Was that his point though?
If the intention was to write about what was used in the past that's neat.
If the topic was the best overall then there is a problem.
>>683987
When I do, I'll be sure to post about it in whatever thread happens to be active at the time.
>>682762
My mom grew up with these, and even though she has most of them she still gets excited whenever she finds one at a used book store.
It is an awesome collection
>>682937
/out/ is such a terrific board.
Thank you, anon!
>>683981
>14 book series for like $216
Get it. Get it now. That shit will be worth every penny.
>>684506
Glad to help, anon. This information is too good to be kept in the dark.
>pic semirelated, rebuilding the world one block at a time
>>682480
I would reccomend Bushcraft by Mors over anything esle.
>>684159
It was to write about bushcraft and what you need to be good at that, nothing in the summary on the back of the book suggests that he writes like a man from the past.
>>684615
tell me why

Sixthed.
The foxfire series is incredible.
I wish there we're more like it.

All too often survival skills authors seem to simply lift a technique from a book written by someone else 20 years before. It doesn't seem to matter if it works or not, or whether the conditions have to be exactly right for it to work, they just paste it into their books. It has become obvious that most of the authors have never even tried many of the techniques since the techniques they write about don't work or need such specific conditions to work that you never find the exact right conditions in which to use the techniques.
This book is different.Every single skill presented is detailed and clear. They have all worked for me in REAL conditions. It is obvious that the author has not only written about the skills, but has spent long hours LIVING the skills and perfecting them. There is advice and observations that I have found nowhere else, another good indication that the author has written from experience rather than from reading what other people have already written and regurgitating outdated or worthless knowledge (and knowledge that doesn't work becomes dangerous in the bush).
His attention to detail (he even drew all the drawings in the book himself)and his great concern for safety in performance of the skills goes unmatched.
I would hardily recommend this book to anyone who wants to feel a little safer when they may be faced with an unexpected emergency, whether you are a backpacker, mountaineer, camper, outdoor enthusiast, or simply driving in your vehicle in a snow storm. This book could save your life one day, when you least expect it.
>>685053
why
>>685097
would you go so far as to say that it is the apex of survival books?
>>682480
Just ordered this off amazon.
Want to know as well.
Either way I figure it will be useful
>>685097
Thanks, sounds like a good read.
Illustrations are a huge plus in my opinion.
>>685184
When you read it could you give us an opinion please?
Hopefully this thread will still exist by then.
>>685249
I'll make a thread.
It gets here Thursday, I'll skim a little bit and give my impressions. It will take a while to read it because I like to "play" along with these type of books.
>>685264
is this a meme book?
>>685097
I found your amazon review. You are either remarkably consistent in your phrasing or copypasta.
what books can i read to survive in the rainforest the desert or you know extreme areas
>>685097
can anyone vouch for this guy?
>>685285
copypasta senpai. I was not about to explain that when others already did really well
>>685912
I can vouch that this is the 2nd thread he's starting in 3 days to shill his fucking book. I don't care if it's the next coming of the bible. I won't buy it because of
>shilling
>>685249
Not him but I read it and thought it was very useful. Great entry level bushcraft book. Everything is straightforward. No hippie or gearfag bullshit like most bushcraft books.
>>683059
S'ok. Good post, good enthusiasm.

Thanks alot now i have something to read on this boring saturday night
Does any of you have "SAS survival guide"? If so, is it good?
>>695331
Not bad and cheap.
but it's a survival handbook, it will give you basics for surviving special situations, but it is not meant to learn you specific skills like bushcrafting, hunting, ninjutsu, quantum physics, elemental sorcery, timetravel etc.
>>682752
got this for christmas. shits cool man
>>683386
Thanks Anon, you're a saint
