Free Survival PDFs, Manuals, & Downloads
 Information is power. We share free survival manual PDFs and other related documents for download. BY SEAN GOLD, UPDATED: July 8, 2024Latest update: Added CIA RPD78 under ‘Survival Manuals’ and FEMA Citizen Preparedness under ‘Preparedness Manuals’ There is a vast landscape of quality survival materials already existing that many people simply don’t have access to or don’t know where to look. Sometimes these resources also lose their online host, making them lost to all but those that already downloaded them. Rather than reproduce work on these topics, it is better to preserve them on a dedicated server. This is why we started a prepping library or a repository of information that is useful to download and have on hand. We have plenty of resource space online, thanks to our faithful readers, subscribers, and supporters. Whether or not you choose to print or save to a mass storage device is up to you. All of our PDF files are pre-compressed, conventionally named, and organized. This means you can fit more on a thumb drive and actually find what you need when you need it. We host them ourselves so you can skip sketchy download sites and messy PDFs. You can also download all of the resources at once, using our new One-Click Download.

They cover plenty of topics but are concise and easy to understand. The manuals are written for everyone- from privates all the way up to generals so they are easy for anyone to follow in stressful situations. Military Survival GuidesSurvival-specific manuals and guides are the top priority for your prepper library. If you served in the US military, you’ll likely recognize these as they made us carry them around and learn sections from a few of them. FM 21-76 Survival Manual – The broad US Army/Marines survival manual covers a wide range of survival topics.FM 21-76-1 Survival, Evasion, and Recovery – This is shorter, smaller, and more concise than the above manual- meant to be a pocket guide.FM 31-70 Basic Cold Weather Manual – Clothing, movement, combat, and survival are all geared for cold weather in this guide.USMC Summer Survival Course Handbook – A reference manual for a training course covering a lot of info from water procurement to survival traps.USMC Winter Survival Course Handbook – Another survival course reference with cold weather tactics included.Military Survival SkillsSkill-specific or operating manuals that are useful for survival situations. FM 3-06 Urban Operations – This manual covers WMDs, asymmetrical threats, and many other urban warfare considerations.FM 3-3-1 Nuclear Contamination Avoidance – Avoidance is best when it comes to any NBC threats- this will show you how.FM 3-4 NBC Protection – If you can’t avoid non-conventional threats, you need to know how to detect them and use your PPE.FM 3-5 NBC Decontamination – Decontaminating CBRN agents is tough to get right, so having a manual on hand definitely helps.FM 3-25.26 Map Reading and Land Navigation – Navigation manual using maps, compasses, grids, overlays, and more.FM 3-25.150 Combatives – Bayonet fighting and hand-to-hand manual.FM 4-25.11 First Aid – Covers general first aid, specific injuries, CBRN, first aid gear use, and more.FM 5-103 Survivability – This field manual is focused on combat survivability and command-level planning to improve it with positioning, camouflage, etc.FM 20-3 Camouflage Concealment and Decoys – An older guide that goes over how to avoid detection.FM 21-10 Field Hygiene and Sanitation – Although they are often overlooked, hygiene and sanitation are hugely important for survival (and troop health).FMFRP 12-80 USMC Kill or Get Killed – A blunt and to-the-point handbook on everything from unarmed combat to riot control.MA 1.02 USMC Fundamentals of Martial Arts – You’re not likely to learn combat skills without hands-on training, but manuals can still help.ST 31-91B Special Forces Medical Handbook – A 400+ page medical handbook that covers a large range of medical topics.STP 21-1 Army Warrior Skills Level 1 – Army manual going over everything, from first aid to weapons platform operation.STP 21-4 Army Warrior Leader Skills Level 2, 3, and 4 – A continuation of the manual above designed for leaders.TM 31-210 Improvised Munitions Handbook – A whole handbook on improvised munitions goes into detail about how to make the basics, like black powder.Survival ManualsSurvival manuals are an easy way to develop a deeper understanding of specific topics or skills.
