We are constantly adding free survival, prepper, and homesteading ebooks to our free preparedness library, so check back often!
Also a disclaimer: obviously we can't vouch for every little thing in every book, nor do we necessarily stand behind any opinions you may come across. Exercise common sense. And read Selco's incredible Bosnian SHTF story first.
Note: Some of these PDFs are over 30mb in size, so right click and save can be better than the browser PDF viewer depending on your system.
