Offline Survival Manual

This is a <b>Survival Manual</b> which is fully <b>working offline</b> ( which is important to survive in a case of some extreme situation )

It contains info on <b>how to make fire, build a shelter, find food, heal and other useful content</b> in a case of emergency.

But it does not have to be used in emergency situations only - it can be also useful for trips to the outdoors, hiking, camping, learning about nature and yourself truly. This is not only fun, but you can also train skills ( make fire, build shelter, .. ) you might need in a catastrophy. Some things work best with practice in a relaxed environment - then you also have time for some experiments.

<b>Refugees</b> are also <b>welcome</b> to use this app to prepare and guide them for their dangerous journey. Although I hope we as humans come to sense and stop the wars so that people do not have to flee and be afraid.

<b>Background:</b>

In the midst of the current political situation ( A dangerous man as president of a big nuclear power nation ) I had to prepare for doomsday scenarios and was searching for a good Survival Guide that I can use offline.

There where some but none of them where really good & fitting. Also there was none <b>free software ( FOSS )</b> on FDroid. Hence I was writing this Software. You can find the source-code on github: https://github.com/ligi/SurvivalManual

Pull requests are welcome!
