Found this site when I was bs-ing around looking for a place to get good quality manuals for cheap cus you can never have too much knowledge, I mean come on now wouldn't it be awesome to be able to read up on how to do route recon and operate/maintain/fix radar stations ... Well this site has a bunch of free manuals that I thought some of you might enjoy.

I vote that we should make a sticky thread containing all the places to get manuals and info... doesn't have to be my thread just a thread in general where people can go to get info about reading materials and books, manuals, diagrams, maps, etc

Knowledge is just as important in a bug out scenario as guns or knives or food

DownThemAll in firefox makes the downloading of the entire site easy. There are 506 PDF files.

That makes sense; this seems to be a good, long-term-interest topic.

Stickied, and a lot of low-content posts - summary = "thanks, good idea!" - deleted.

But, thanks - good idea!

This site has USAF, US Army, USMC, USN plus Canadian manuals. Most are updated 1990's & 2000's instead of the 50's - 70's manuals.

I ran across several FREE, as in $0, books on Kindle and after a little googleing found most if not all and even more are posted on Project Gutenberg. This is a website that seeks to take every book that is in public domain and post it for download!

US Military Instructors Manual from 1917 (Yeah, it's old but much of it is still relevant)

http://www.gutenberg.org/files/14625/14625-h/14625-h.htm

Infantry Drill Reg's US Army, 1911

http://www.gutenberg.org/files/20866/20866-h/20866-h.htm

I'm still digging up more. I'll try to post a complete list over the weekend.
