Military manuals are by far a very reliable source for information.

When you rely on commercially produced literature, you're relying on an individual or group that may or may not know what they're doing. In the case of general survival, most all subject related information is universally agreed upon, as is the same with firearms related subject matter (nearly every smith follows SAMMI guidelines), which is baseline you can use to ensure you're getting valid and reliable information.

As far as explosives and demolitions, you want literature from organizations, agencies, or industries that are required to follow a standard. Something like the "Anarchists Cookbook" is almost useless in its current form and the 77' edition was full of errors and bad information.

FM 3-34.214 (FM 5-250) EXPLOSIVES AND DEMOLITIONS, is one such document that can used look upon as a reliable source of information.

Thanks guys, the help is appreciated.

I kind of like this board, it is like a mini-OPchan

Full of tripfags and slow as fuck, but the few posts there are have some good information so you don't have to wade through a bunch of shitposts to get to it.

Should I also look into chemistry and medical textbooks while I'm at it?

I'm sure the our resident Doc can be more detailed, but SHTF-medicine is kind of a forked road situation.

On one hand, you have a Strelok who may want to become familiar with various types of medicine, specifically herbal, homoeopathic, and holistic treatments. Having an intermediate knowledge in treating moderate injuries. Acting as a stop gap or filler for those with academic level education and training such as an EMT, Combat Medic, RN, LPN, PA, MD, ect… who are going to be worth their weight in gold.

On the other is the average, everyday Strelok, who is going to want something quick and dirty. Condensed pieces of literature that are going to highlight the most likely and important aspects of field triage and treatment.

I don't want to sound like a shill, but military manuals are going to be the ticket on this one too, because combat is within the SHTF spectrum. "Combat Medicine" is going to be what you want to center on, FM 21-11 FIRST AID FOR SOLDIERS, FM 4-25.11 FIRST AID, Combat Livesaver Student Handbook, ect…

One major piece of the puzzle the average Strelok will be missing is hands on experience. It is advisable at minimum that Basic First Aid and CPR certification (First Responder Course if applicable) should be obtained, thus giving you some very basic familiarity with interaction and situational awareness of a medical emergency. (The Red Cross and other organizations offer First Aid and CPR Classes for a pittance)

Just remember, nothing can replace a trained medical professional.

Having a basic knowledge in Chemistry isn't bad thing. Just knowing the basic these days is a jump and skip over the Average Joe. Having a general knowledge is even better. Never know what it come in handy for.

At least no one here will try to touch you in your sleep unlike a certain little flip we both know.

I'd also like to know.

Does anyone have TC 3-22.10? Can't seem to find anywhere.
