Cool Survival App for Android

[IndianaSigma]

Just thought I would share this app with you survivalists. It's called Survival Guide and it consists of the U.S. Military Survival Manual FM 21-76.

Some of the chapters on it include:
Psychology of Survival
Survival Planning and Kits
Basic Survival Medicine
Shelters
Water Procurement
Firecraft
Food Procurement
Poisonous Plants
Dangerous Animals
Field-Expedient Weapons, Tools, and Equipment
Desert Survival
Tropical Survival
Cold Weather Survival
Sea Survival
Expedient Water
Field Expedient Direction Finding
Signaling Techniques
Survival Kits
Edible and Medicinal Plants
and others.

Thought it was pretty useful.

My android has many different apps.. Search the market for all them..

compass - it's close to accurate, uses GPS thought

life360 - uses interenet and GPS and tracks my entire family so in an emergency I know where they are, they can hit a panic button and it will notify all of us where they are and such

USMC Winter and Summer survival guides - downloaded

FM Radio, has to have head phones for antenna

gold / silver price tracker - uses internet

Food Locater - uses GPS and Internet to find closest food

Liquor Run - uses GPS and Internet to find closest liquor store, priorities..

Craigslist app watches craigslist for me

IPSC shot timer

Google Sky is cool, shows star charts

Downloaded plenty of free books

Shopsavy uses internet and has a UPC scanner to compare prices

Prepper Plan It is helpful for grocery and other supplies

plus many more

Key is to make sure it is a download or if it will require the internet or whatever to work.. To test put your phone in airplane mode and try to open the apps and make sure they work.. What good is a survival guide if it isn't downloaded and can't talk to the net..

Didn't know about the shot timer.....Downloaded it.

Same goes for life360....

I know there is a total and complete lack of such apps for the Blackberry! I like my BB, but their lack of apps is making it harder to stay with them and even harder to wanna buy a new one!

 

[IndianaSigma]

Haha! Never even crossed my mind as I wrote that!

From the reviews...

.:Bat - October 9, 2012 - LG Optimus One with version 2.1But...


Is it legal to sell this book as an app? Who owns the rights?

Umm, I own it since I paid taxes....Yes you can use it, but it will cost you a can of beans and 3 bullets!

I've had this one for a while. Not an updated manual, but it's basic reading. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.hart.sniper

Life 360 is a HORRIBLE app. It called everyone and told them my wife was in danger. She was fine.

Please don't download it.

Loaded and tried Scanner Radio today. I drive a truck and REFUSE to use a CB...well there were a lot of idiots on the road today and quite a few backups coming back from Trashville TN. I got stuck in a jam for about an hour early on in the trip and wanted to take a nap so I gave scanner radio a shot at letting me know when we would start moving again. Works GREAT!
