    Humble Bundle just had a good collection on that. Can’t find it now but books on homesteading, medical plants, finding people lost on the woods, going off-grid, and various books about rural cooking.

    Edit: Must have expired last night. I can’t find any info on it.

    I’d actually like books and guides on to how to be your own doctor and GP aside from emergency medicine.

    ps-survival.com and CD3WD were projects that were big when i first got into prepping at the start of the pandemic. Both of the sites seem to be defunct but there are still mirrors/copies/torrents of the info available online since they were both created to be downloaded for offline use.

    I’d check out your local library. Obviously you can’t take the books, but you can check em out and learn.

      Can’t tell if this is a troll response or not. Your answer, on the Piracy instance, is to go to a library?..

      You think I’ve never herd of a library?

      Not even a mention of scanning books from the library? Just to learn and leave lmfao.

        No i just think it would be a good place to search out the good books. I’m sure they’re all in a section, so you’d get to actually look at them and figure out what you want. Then you can go to MAM and get them. That’s what id do, plus the library is relaxing.

            Woohoo! Also, for real, check out the overdrive app. It’s pretty awesome. I mean like sure, i can download whatever, but like some of the fiction, once I’ve read it in done. I don’t need to retain it.

            edit: spelling
