Complete Survival Guide

About Complete Survival Guide Android App

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 :)
