Questions about books and manuals

Why keep paper manuals?

They work with no power, no signal and no battery, and can be shared around a household.

Which book should I buy first?

A first aid guide, then a general survival handbook, then books for the skills you plan to use: canning, gardening, radio or repair.

Is there a free offline alternative?

Survival LLM puts a 1.5-million-article offline library on your computer, including first aid and FEMA and Army manuals.

Free: printable checklists and prep spreadsheets, including a water and food calculator and a power budget. For answers with no internet: Survival LLM.
