   I’d suggest you (or anyone viewing this) check out youtube user USNERDOC. He’s got some great videos and he’s posted some good information on first aid. Downloadable pdf’s.

   I wanted to suggest an out of print book that you can still find used. “Back To Basics” published by the Reader’s Digest

   Thank you, rick, for this wise tip! I’ve been printing almost everything I can get my hands on, even if there’s very little likelihood I’ll ever need the info, I’d rather have it on paper. I guess I’m just one of those old fashioned gals, LOL! Thanks for posting!

   Hi John, afraid I have to disagree with you on this particular one )
   I’d be EXTREMELY nervous about locking such valuable information away on any kind of electronic device for several reasons, not least of which is that laptops are delecate and may easily get broken in a crisis scenario.
   Also an EMP, or a powerful enough solar flare (which NASA have predicted for 2012) could mean this life-saving data is lost forever.

   There’s a lot to be said for good ole fashioned printed paper )

    Instead of making …
    Instead of making so many hardcopies of valuable information, I suggest that you save the information to a 16 gig flash drive. You can even copy the infromation on one flash drive to several so that you have backups. You can have eternal power for your laptop using solar energy. There are portable solar energy devices that you can store in your backpack along with your laptop or palmtop. Also, stash food in places away from your home. Bury cache’s of food in untraveled areas.

    some really good points here. A lot of people don’t even consider preserving knowledge and information when thinking about survival and emergency preparedness. Great video as always, thanks for posting.

    Lofty Wisemans book is the bible of survival. I have the pocket version and it’s only a few quid on eBay. Everyone should own it.

    I find I get nearly all my information from the internet now. I honestly haven’t thought about if the net became unavailable. A very scary thought actually.
