NOTE: I am Updating this post and the updated data/files can be found here: http://www.suburbansurvivalblog/updated-survival-library/
My Web Host is asking I change where my documents are hosted, and am moving them to another document hosting service. The new post will take some time to complete so please check back often…
So, by electronic survival library, I mean readable in PDF, MS Word, or on my Kindle App on my iPad. I currently have all my electronic books on the iPad, netbook, my laptop, and a couple of key chain USB keys (one of which is attached to my keys). I keep them all segregated by their general topics, such as, “First Aid, Knots, Terrorism, etc.” I am slowly working my way through reading all these books as a matter of self education. In addition to that, as I mentioned, I keep them handy on my electronic devices, one of which is always with me, in the event I “need” to reference them in a pinch. They cover a wide range of categories, and some are much more comprehensive than the others, but all are worth reading and perusing no matter how simple or comprehensive…
Oh, and some of these may not be the exact documents, as I could not upload them for download due to copyright violations, but there are many PDFs below. Enjoy.

What’s in your library?
You’ve built up quite a library. Mine is no where near as comprehensive as yours. I have yet to get them all in one place!
Feel free to download. Many of them are there. Some of them are not for various reasons. However, I put them there, or linked to them so that everyone could download what they wanted for themselves…
It’s SOOOO tedious selecting one pdf at a time to download. Is there a place where I can find a massive pdf library that can be downloaded all at once?
Sorry, Whatever. Unfortunately, that is what I have at the moment. My library has actually expanded dramatically since that went up… I may try and find a better way. Stay tuned and keep watching, as I may post something in the near future. Sorry it is so tedious. I had to do the same thing to build my library…
hi, excellent blog I’m a survival expert from Australia .
