Any good book recommendations on survival after a SHTF situation? Like how to grow food, scavenge, etc.
Lofty's SAS Survival Guide is pretty good. It's a bit big to carry around with you for emergencies as it's more of a reference. Not every day you're going to need desert survival right after winter survival, or know how to deliver a child. I don't think it's got much about growing food but it's got a lot about foraging.

>growing food
One does not "grow food" in a SHTF situation. You do that long after it is over. The best you can hope for is growing sprouts since that only takes a few days.

Yeah I know, but ideally I'd like to survive long after the initial fan-hitting.

I asked for books, not threads. I'm sure an author would be able to explain it better than a poster.

There is pocket books of this sort that you can have in your backpack.

There's a link in the OP of that thread that has a torrent for over 400 farming and gardening books. Just search that sort of torrent and you should an alternative.

Highly doubtful unless you are corresponding with an author. Not only that but authors tend to be highly biased for "their method".
A friend has some really old books on all sorts of things.
Some of the cooking books actually say things like "after the cooking fire has turned to coals after 2 hours..."
Those are what you want. Damn near Amish instruction booklets.
Having "Time-Life woodworking" books is kind of pointless when you don't have power tools, nails, screws or even modern lumber.
I'll be king of my county since I know how to build pic related.

i liked the page on facebook "the prepared page" and they post limited time free kindle books on that shit all the time. I have things from making cheese from scratch, to raising goats, farming, BOBs, nuclear attack strategy, etc. Tons of prepper books that they post all the time. I have more than I'll ever read. but fuck it, it's free, and I can store something like 10,000 books on my kindle, and it's a paperwhite, so a battery lasts about a month of moderate use.

That ought to get you started. By the way, you could have saved time by googling "prepper books" and scrolling through the results. Hell, you still can.

>nuclear attack strategy
Don't get attacked in a nuclear fasion. Thats about as strategic as it gets.
