Free Survival Guide Books
Preparedness and Survival Guide for Beginners
by Vitaly Pedchenko (121 pages)

Free Prepping Skills Books
Simple Sabotage Field Manual
by United States Office of Strategic Services (38 pages)
A free US field manual on sabotage tactics? Some of the strategies seem downright cruel, while others are seemingly innocuous. It is amazing how many ways there are to make things not work.
Hunting with the Bow & Arrow
by Saxton T. Pope (174 pages)
Pope goes into bow construction, his own personal experience hunting, and talks of his Native American mentor in this well-received book. Whether you are into bow hunting or not, this freebie should not be passed up.
The Theory and Practice of Archery

How To Preserve Eggs: Freezing, Pickling, Dehydrating, Larding, Water Glassing, & More

Wommack’s Self-Defense for Women: 3 Seconds to Live
by David Wommack (171 pages)

The Home Medical Library, Volume I (of VI)
The Home Medical Library, Volume II (of VI)
The Home Medical Library, Volume V (of VI)
all by Kenelm Winslow (469 pages)
While it’s not the whole six-book library, getting half of this comprehensive home medical library for free is a good deal. This is very useful information geared towards not having access to professional medical assistance, which can obviously come in handy during an emergency.
Free Disaster/Apocalypse Fiction
Emerge
by Heather Sunseri (376 pages)
