Offline Survival Manual

About this app

This is a Survival Manual which is fully working offline (which is important to survive in a case of some extreme situation)
It contains info on how to make fire, build a shelter, find food, heal and other useful content in a case of emergency.

But it does not have to be used in emergency situations only - it can be also useful for trips to the outdoors, hiking, camping, learning about nature and yourself truly. This is not only fun, but you can also train skills (make fire, build shelter, ..) you might need in a catastrophy. Some things work best with practice in a relaxed environment - then you also have time for some experiments.

Refugees are also welcome to use this app to prepare and guide them for their dangerous journey. Although I hope we as humans come to sense and stop the wars and end climate injustice so that people do not have to flee and be afraid.

Ratings and reviews

Comprehensive, detailed, and accessible to the average urbanite. These are the three biggest points you want to cover when making a guide of any sort, and this handy little app does it nicely. If you want an excuse to go full survivalist and build a faraday cage for your device, this is probably the best example you can give to the wife. It covers first aid, Crew/Resource Management, generators, high level improvisation, and is probably your best "how to" guide in any event. Get it.

The only app I have on everyone of my devices, that I could put it on and have never experienced any issue in the all the years I've had it. Has an extensive and easy to navigate Library with each category having its own well laid out section. I could talk about this app all day trying to cover the amount of stuff this tiny offline app has. Just take a look for yourself it's worth it. This app has alot of useful information even if your not in a bad situation.

Pretty good manual. While it doesn't cover everything I need, living in the big city I'm pretty well versed with urban survival. Since it's different, having certain resources available. Even wild rabbits. And batteries can be used to start fires. And shelter is readily available. Problem is the two legged predators can be dangerous.
