About Complete Survival Guide
Based on the US Army Survival Manual FM-21-76
This app puts a handy survival guide on your phone. Could be a pretty useful reference to keep around for wilderness survival, hiking, camping and beyond!
I've created the app because I was looking for something similar but could only find apps that looked bad, or had a ridiculous amount of ads.
I've kept it pretty simple, there's no ads, and the it can be read offline :)

Why do you need WiFi information...? I'd be a happy camper (heh...) and rate 5 stars if you tell me why. Also, a suggestion... If you want to, try to make this a eBook, or a Google Play Book. Just a suggestion.

Nice and clean look. However as another mentioned 6 months ago, incorrect images mistake safe and poisonous plants. This is very important and has not been fixed. Some formatting issues that can be remedied by rotating to landscape. No search??

This guide is nice and easy to navigate and read except where tables/figures are concerned, they NEED TO HAVE THE ABILITY TO ZOOM IN ON THEM. I'll give you a five star rating if you allow zooming in on text and especially tables!!

First off... If I found myself in a wilderness survival situation, I would not be able to use this without Wi-Fi. Secondly, some of the information is incorrect.

Pictures are incorrect in several places. You will see the same images across multiple chapters. For example: Pictures are the same for Burdock, an edible plant, and Death Camus - Death Lily, a poisonous one. This happens more than once. I wouldn't trust this manual for anything requiring plant identification, at the very least.

I live in Virginia, between the lake & the woods. This app is a handy & useful tool to practice the oftentimes necessary applications outlined. It's been enriching to share & teach my young son things that one day he'll need. I find comfort in knowing he has the basic necessary info, and he is prepared w/ needed skills. App provider seems to sincerely care. THANK YOU!
