Collection of Survival Info
There's been a lot of great how-to's and survival tips posted by various people, but it's not organized anywhere, so that's the purpose of this post. I'll try to keep it updated and relatively complete. Post anything you think I should add in the comments. Anything without credit listed is from my own research.
(Ok, I posted that before I gathered everything together, and there's a lot less than I thought. I'll be doing some of my own research, but link me up people!)
Hopefully I (or someone other industrious fellow) will go through all these links and pull out the best ones, but for now here's just the raw list:
