The Best Survival Manuals for Preppers
One thing that is almost more important if not more than their gear for Preppers is knowledge. If you possess the right knowledge, you can overcome any obstacle. That is why I have come up with list of the survival manuals that Preppers Need. This list will contain a list of books or book sets that can be had at a reasonable price. I will also attempt to cover a range of subjects related to prepping so that you have access to a variety of information.
Many of these books can be found on Kindle Unlimited as well. Digital texts is the primary reason that I recommended an e-Reader in this article as part of the essential tech for Preppers.
#1 Survival Manuals for Preppers that you need
Many may think food or shelter would be at the top of the list. However, we all eat every day and we have some idea on what a house or shelter should look like. Given that I think one of the first things that will collapse is the health care system I put this book at the top of my list.
The Survival Medicine Handbook
Written by Joseph and Amy Alton this book takes the unique stance in first aid that you are on your own. Many first aid resources give you basics in order to stabilize someone until you can get help, however in a SHTF situation it is likely that is not coming.
This text includes topics such as fractures, nosebleed, chest pain, and nearly 100 other health conditions. The information is presented in a manner so that even someone with no training can understand and should be able to handle many of the issues that arise. After consulting numerous sources this is probably the best first aid related book that I have found.

It includes information on water storage, hunting, farming, foraging and first aid. Along with other skills such as fortifying and defending your home as well as establishing a new society once things begin to settle.
