Literature Resources and Helpful Links

[Grumpy Old Man]

OK mods, if this is in the wrong place let me know.

I came into 10 2Gb thumb drives from a friend who requested that I share my pdfs and links with him. No problem. So yesterday afternoon I was copying on to one of the thumbs for him and thought I'd include some links for him.

So, after posting in the SHTF laundry thread, I thought I would kick off a new thread of free resources for literature and the like.

So, here's my first link from Drum-Runners.com; a site that has many useful manuals and books available for free download. I highly recommend the LDS Preparedness Manual for its detailed checklists and food storage advice.

GOM wow what a site. I've been spending some time there and it's going to take a while to even look through it all. Tons of information. Thanks for the link.

Okay all here's another one chock full of info and links.

Compendium of Useful Information

This is another great resource.

I forgot to add that this compendium contains links to many different websites as well as downloadable pdfs. It is a work in progress and Bob (the guy who updates it) welcomes input as to new topics and new information. It is freeware, so to speak. The websites cover a wide variety of philosophical orientation, so be warned beforehand, but the information on the skillsets is still valid. Many of the topics cover 3rd world type situations and technologies.

Okay folks here is a third link. This is grandpappy's index of how to survive hard times. He has some very interesting info on drug expiration dates, food preservation methods, and other practical topics. As with my previous 2 links, I urge you all to look at what is presented, take what you need and leave the rest, so to speak. No one place has everything you need, but you can put together a very good survival library by taking from each site. grumpy

Don't know what I did, but I messed up the last post. Here is the link Index of How to Survive Hard Times - by Robert Wayne Atkins, P.E. - Grandpappy.
As with all these links, not everything will be applicable or of interest to you. Take what you need and leave the rest, so to speak. With these 3 links you can get a good head start on a preparedness library. Grumpy
