About this app

Survival Guide puts the complete U.S. Army survival manual, FM 21-76 (June 1992), on your phone. Everything is stored in the app, so it works without a connection: in the backcountry, at sea or wherever you lose signal.

What's inside
• 19 chapters: psychology of survival, survival planning and kits, basic survival medicine, shelters, water procurement, firecraft, food procurement, survival use of plants, poisonous plants, dangerous animals, field-expedient weapons and tools, desert, tropical, cold weather and sea survival, water crossings, direction finding and signaling
• 8 appendices: survival kits, edible and medicinal plants, poisonous plants, dangerous insects and arachnids, venomous snakes and lizards, dangerous fish and mollusks, ropes and knots, and clouds as weather signs
• The manual's illustrations, tables and plant photos
• Pinch to zoom in on text and figures

Source
The content is the U.S. Army field manual FM 21-76, Survival (June 1992), a U.S. government publication in the public domain. You can read the original here:
https://archive.org/details/MCRP_3-02F_FM_21-76_Survival
The Army has since replaced this manual with newer publications, so some advice, especially on medicine, may be out of date.

I've used this Apps 9 years in Jungle, and 15 years in Desert in Middle East. Although some of my survival Skills I have learned from Filipinos - Aetas who lives in the Mountains of Sambales, and from some Survival skills learned from Head Hunters (Igorot) Ifugao, also from Cordillera Province- Deep Jungle in Philippines. Some of their ancestors are Tribal Warlords.
