I was wondering of what manuals or books should be a must in your library to prep and survive when TSHTF. This can be any thing from farming, cooking, prepping, fire arms, hunting, making what ever including explosives and so forth. Thow them out there.

Medical books for sure. We found some good ones at Goodwill.

I keep printed PDF's of all my firearm's in case I have to play armorer.

While manuals are great, you should be practicing what's in those manuals too. Under stress is not the time to learn.

- workshop manuals for every vehicle and piece of machinery you own, plus any others you can find for common makes of car

- John Seymour's 'Forgotten Arts and Crafts' and 'Complete Book of Self-Sufficiency'.

- Local foraging guides

- Anthologies or collections of magazines like 'Mother Earth News' (or in Australia, 'Earth Garden' and 'Grass Roots'. Earlier issues are generally of more value)

- Merck Veterinary manual

As well as the Ball Blue book that Limner mentioned, "Putting Food By." It covers many other methods of food preservation such as drying, salting, freezing and cheese making.
