Building the Ultimate Survival Library - (5 gig download inside) Feel free to add your own resources!

Well, Im sure you guys are well aware that no matter how much we learn, we just cant learn it all. Im at a point where I feel pretty confident surviving the initial year of almost any disaster that could be thrown at me but what then? I have a fair amount of print books to help me get going but shit, there are just so many subjects that I still need its mind boggling.

This is what convinced me to start looking for ebooks, pdfs, websites etc to fill in the gaps. It quickly became an obsession and a month in I now have almost 5 gigs of GOOD stuff. I piggybacked off the work of a lot of other people, blogs and websites but it seems that these places just focused on gathering as much as they could and not refining it. That is going to be my goal. To created a concise yet detailed collection of everything we could need to rebuild civilization. Not a small task.

Now that said there is no way I am going to get any help just by talking about it. I mentioned I was working on this in another post and was encouraged to just upload what I got for now. I encourage you to download this even in its semi-complete, semi-organized state because well lets face it, who knows when you will need it. There is also a LOT of material that would be interesting and useful to read before any SHTF.

Anyways, the file is almost 5 gigs (started as 12 gigs but i have been culling the herd) and is entirely PDFs converted from various formats. Eventually as this project nears completion I will be actually creating a few GIGANTIC PDFs based on sections and chapters and try to find some reliable and cheap hosting for it. For now, feel free to download the parts, explore it, suggest sections that are missing, point out redundant information (still a fair amount of this) and please feel free to link other useful PDF's you think should be in this.

Best case scenario this is silly but it will be spreading some great education. Worst case scenario in the hands of the right person this could save hundreds of lives. My plan is to put this all on a kindle with a solar charger but i also plan on creating an even more trimmed down version and actually printing this stuff to keep in my BOL. It wont be crazy expensive but I dont want to waste money, space and paper on shit that isnt needed. If you have suggestions for the print version i would love to hear that too!
