I hope this works?

I have a half dozen interesting survival documents that have been on my computer for 16 years I originally downloaded from links at ATS. Three of them are within the size limits and are attached below. The other 3 need to be downloaded

The PDF documents are:
  • Military First Aid Manual (attached)
  • NATO Emergency War Surgery (attached)
  • US Army Survival Manual (attached)
  • 1881 Household Cyclopedia (download) - very cool
  • Emergency Dental Procedures (download)
  • US Army Ranger Handbook (download)
These are the 3 over the forum size limit. I copied them to a folder on the citadel-81 website with links below that will open up a save window when clicked. Save them to your computer to open

(14.1 MB) 1881 Household Cyclopedia
(6.48 MB) Emergency Dental Procedures
(7.35 MB) Army Ranger Handbook

For clarity and peace of mind, here is the code for the above links:

I have the U.S Army Survival Manual in paperback at my house. I'd like to find and order the rest. I also have the Air Forces as well as How to survive the end of the world as we know it, by James Wesley Rawles. Try too keep physical copies of everything. Also have some on herbal medicine and homesteading.
 
I have a giant collection of manuals such as these - several boxes of hard copies stored out in a shed, and something over 4 1/2 gigabytes of electronic versions. I say that because they will not all fit on a single 4 1/2 GB DVD.

For the medical, I also recommend the "US Army Special Forces Medical Handbook", issued as a reference to SF medics to supplement their training and give the occasional jog to their memories. I've got a hard copy sitting right here where I can see it all the time.

Also - the "Ranger Handbook". There are, periodically, updated versions of the handbook released. I have 6 or 7 different "updated" versions of it here, in hard copy. The first I got way back in the late 1970's, and I later (early '80's) got the first "updated version" in my collection directly from Fort Benning in Georgia, where the Ranger School was at the time.. Each new updated version adds significantly to the body of the work. That first one I got back in the '70's was only about a half inch thick, where the latest update I have is closer to an inch and a half thick, a 300% increase in size. The hard copies are printed in a size suitable for carrying in a BDU shirt pocket, and the format is such that it won't really "train" you, but instead serves as a reference for training you've already got under your belt, much like the SF Medical Handbook.

There is, or was, a "Training Circular" (actually a ST - "Special text" rather than a TC - "training Circular") that I can't right now recall the manual designation of (edit: it is "ST-21-75-3") called "Dismounted Patrolling" that was put out by the Ranger School at Ft. Benning that is very useful. I got a hard copy of it in the eartly 80's from Ft. Benning, and years later after the advent of the internet searched and searched for an electronic copy. I finally found one that I had to edit and re-save as a PDF, so the electronic copy is pretty rare... but it's one of the more useful Ranger training aids to provide one with tips, tricks, and procedures for nearly any sort of Ranger operation one can think of, from ambushes to movement to raids to reconnaissance.

ETA - Here is a link to "ST-21-75-3 Dismounted Patrolling" that I mentioned above. This one was digitized bt Google in Russia, so the Google disclaimer is in cyrillic in Russian, but you can safely ignore it - it's not a Google OR a Russian proprietary document, it's a US Army document, and therefore in the public domain: https://books.googleusercontent.com...uOmwuz_AmT8b2Rl4WLVqo8FvmoFGslz8ouPchQONtBprA
