i have the army survival manual if anyone but FVR wants it :} hit me up. PDF format
Explodingearth read it well first there will be an exam sooner or later.
Got one of those (not much to it), first off read the copyright and reprint date make sure its updated (although the ones printed in the late 70s and early 80s are great). Second I went to a couple of really great schools while in the army (Ranger, School of the America's, and a couple more) and we never used that manual, want a decent military manual get the updated RANGER Handbook, lot of good skills in there.
But........ Any manualis worth its weight in gold if you read it, practice the skills inside, and LEARN from it.
Just one man's thoughts.
Beo
more like how to survive after the army
why can't FVR get a copy? He's a friendly guy :)
I'm pretty sure FVR doesn't need a copy anyway.
Probably not, I just wanna know why explodingearth won't give him one. Darn wolves always messn wit my fun. :(
Are you talking about the one on this site, Then all you have to do is go to every page in order, Save them to a file (in order) then combine them into a single PDF document
it said the information on this site is based on the document i have. i dont know if the sites info is complete
anyone know the umm... "model" name of the ranger manual? like the army manual is fm 21-76
Type a search for U.S. Army Ranger Handbook or SH 21-76 United States Army
I have the newest print of the U.S Army Ranger Handbook. Yoou can get it from Militarybookclub.com

You can get it for about $10.00 at an army surplus store also
Matter of fact here is an online link so you can keep it in your favorites or copy it off (just don't tell Beowulf I did this) he's a stickler on giving up secrets... lol... jk

iv got all the usmc survival books so if anyone wants one its just an msn away, my fav was the winter wilderness survival one by the way
What is an msn?
I managed to lose both my mountain warfare books. Still have the jungle but it's so small and the print is hard to read with my fading vision.
msn is an program used to talk with or send files to people over the internet , like a forum but way faster and more often used for 1 on 1 conversations as opposed to group discussions
Oh, okay.
Thanks.
Here is a link to a Army surplus site that has Books and Manuals

I wish my son had not have taken my Improvised Munitions FM. That was a good read.
Don
you can send me whatever. ill take anything
I picked up this manual yesterday at the book store for $7.00 US.
It's smaller in size from the original manual. It appears to have the same contents as the larger manual just smaller print. The dimensions are 3 1/4" X 4 1/5".
I think it will make an excellent carry manual due to it's size and contents.
I got a tiny black one give to me by an old staff sergeant (Who was actually SAS).
Its completely battered but it still damn useful.
There is also another SAS survival manual you might consider.. it is "SAS Essential Survival" by Barry Davies BEM. Lewis International Inc. publisher. It is narrower and thinner but fits nicely into a backpack.. He is also from the same SAS training school. It has a lot of the same information.. plus some more and actual pictures of proceedures and equipment.
DUDE!!!!!!!! no way i got the same book a week ago
really good book
I've heard of this book before. I figure I'll get it for myself. Prob download it first to glance through, before I actually buy it ;)
The US Army has a survival guide as well that this website is completely based off of. I forget what it's called, but I have it somewhere.
Fm 21-76 Us Army Survival Manual
That's the one!
Ready, Set, Download!!! http://www.wilderness-survival.net/
I just downloaded the entire thing as the original book file. A lot easier that way. But that's illegal (I think) so I'm not gonna elaborate on it.
I know there are many threads and posts with some of your favorite book titles in them, lets get them all together. What say you?
How about a couple of different categories?
1. Survival skills/equipment- 98.6 degrees "the art of keeping your *** alive" by Cody Lundin, SAS survival guide and mental endurance guide, Backpacker Magazine puts out some informative books on trekking, backpacking and camp cooking, Tom Brown's guides, When Technology fails by Mathew Stein, The Complete Tracker by Len McDougall,
2. Survival stories-Deep Survival by Laurence Gonzales, Stuff by Spike Walker,
3. Primitive skills and how to-The Alaskan Bootleggers Bible by Leon Kania,One Man's Wilderness by Keith Proenneke, Root Cellaring by Mike and Nancy Bubel, Building the Alaska Log Home by Tom Walker,
4. Fiction-Tenderfoot Trapper by Arthur Catherall, Cryptonomicon by Neal Stephenson, Dean Koontz stuff is good for a light read, Books by Neil Gaiman, Jack London, Mark Twain,
5. I also like reading about hidden history and lost civilizations non fiction- Anything by Graham Hancock
These are just a few to get us started. My Amazon wish list reads like an inventory for the Library of Congress!
Let's seem some titles and authors folks :D.
anything by louis lamour and if ya'll ever read them he has some great bushcraft knowledge in them which would have been useful in those times.
alos anything by edward abbey, can't say enough about da man
My Side of the Mountain
Doesn't have anything to do with wilderness, or survival, but my two favorite books of all time would be:
Jude the Obscure-Thomas Hardy
The Sun Also Rises-Ernest Hemingway
One of my favorite books was "Thunder Below" by Eugene Flukey. He was a submarine skipper in WWII who changed the way tactics were used. He was awarded the Medal of Honor while he was on the USS Barb. I had a chance to meet him before he passed away. Truely an amazing man.
My favorite are cookbooks from the great depression and WWII. Some pretty inventive stuff to make when you have very little. This might become a very popular genre if food prices continue to climb.
I have Grandma's wartime kitchen. Which is a modern collecton of WWII thrifty and ration cooking. A search of it on Amzon will bring up a slew.
