Letter Re: Free Downloadable Military Manuals and Uncopyrighted Books
Greetings Rawles family!
I am a member of a forum online that I think has a real gem for your readers.
Gary, the administrator over at Post
Apocalyptic Media (which focuses on
post-apocalyptic science fiction, but has some preppers as well) has put
together a great project.
He edited [US military field manuals] (FMs),
and other non-copyrighted books taking out information that would
not be useful to non-Army personnel (nothing
tactical or important, strictly Army procedural things). He then put them together
in books with titles like "Survival", "Survival:
Health" which includes FM 4-25.11 First Aid, Emergency War Surgery, FM
8-284 Treatment of Biological Warfare Agent Casualties, "Survival: Arms", "Survival:
Rebuilding", as well as titles like [the 19th Century formulary] "The
Household Cyclopedia" (also
titled "MacKenzie's 10,000 Recipes") and others to come. All
are available to download for free, and are also available [in hard
copy] at no cost beyond [the actual cost of] supplies. [They are being sold
at zero
profit.]
The printed ones come with useful and sharp looking camouflage covers that
Gary
designed. Here
are the links [to the forum threads which in turn have links to the PDFs and
the Lulu.com ordering pages]:

JWR Replies: Thanks for mentioning that. Be advised that
registration is required to access the Post
Apocalyptic Media forum, but to register, all that they ask for is a name
and e-mail address.
