Lightbulb good all around survival manual

What's a good survival manual? One that covers a range of enviroments/climates and has some good first aid info? Been looking around and have found some good deals on ebay but don't wanna have 5 or 6 books, lol. Also ebooks are no godd if SHTF so I need paperback/hardcover, LoL.

Amazon.com: Be Ready When the Sh*t Goes Down: A Survival Guide to the Apocalypse (9780061998256): Forrest Griffin, Erich Krauss: Books Amazon.com: Be Ready When the Sh*t Goes Down: A Survival Guide to the Apocalypse (9780061998256): Forrest Griffin, Erich Krauss: Books

Book Description

Publication Date: August 3, 2010
Do you really need to buy this book? You gotta ask yourself one question: Are you going to be ready when the sh*t goes down? Here is a quick checklist:
1. Have you dug up your wife's rose garden and built a fallout shelter, equipped with a prison where you can lock up annoying family members?
2. Have you mapped out an escape route to your safe zone?
3. Is there a vehicle of death sitting in your garage?
4. Have you filled your go bag with all the needed instruments, including waterproof matches, postapocalyptic goggles, and at least one sexual party favor?
5. Have you learned how to milk various types of animals, including a giraffe?
As you can see, you need this book more than you even know. Without it, you're roadkill. Lucky for you, Forrest Griffin is the perfect apocalyptic chaperon. When he was in the womb, his mother had visions that the world would soon crumble, and Forrest would be the messiah of all mankind. He learned of these "visions" at the age of ten, and although they led him to believe that his mom had just been watching Mad Max and eating bad Mexican food, nevertheless he began his postapocalyptic training—a part of which involved his becoming a proud member of the Webelos, which is just one step below Boy Scout. And you know what the Boy Scout motto is. (Well, I hope you do, because Forrest doesn't have a clue). Another part involved hoarding ketchup packets, which he sucked down in the darkness of his room while listening to Nine Inch Nails. Hey, don't judge . . . hoarders are survivors. Just look at squirrels, they have been around longer than sharks.
If you want to survive the end of the world, and then avoid ending up in a government holding pen suffering from a bunch of diseases and listening to crying babies, you've got some skills to master. But don't worry—Forrest has you covered. From spotting the signs of the global downfall, to alienating your loved ones now so they don't come looking for you after, to hot-wiring a car to starting a religion in your own image, he provides you with all the hot knowledge you need to survive the downfall of civilization. Simply put, this is the most important book about the

'Nuff Said...

Heard Forrest's book is pretty good on planning but light on the specific details

actually squirrels have not been around longer than sharks. Not by a long shot, but the rest of it sounds pretty accurate.

There's a link to "When Technology Fails", and one or two others in the same post ... All IMO worth a look.
