Pocket Survival Manual

A complete survival manual, maps and family communications that keep working when the mobile network does not.

ILLUSTRATED SURVIVAL MANUAL, 100% OFFLINE
- 54 illustrated chapters in the order you will need them: prepare, the event, protect, water and signals, food, navigation, rescue and the long haul.
- Step-by-step techniques: shelter, fire, water purification, first aid, knots, traps and fishing, edible plants, navigation by map, compass, sun and stars (northern and southern hemisphere).
- Kits and bags, home readiness, food storage, home pharmacy, family separation plans, bug-out or bug-in.
- Instant offline search across every chapter, table and figure.
- Save cards at the end of every chapter. Fill in your Family plan, Medical ID, Child ID and Radio plan, then share, print or send them.

FIELD MAPS
- World map with your own points (rally, water, shelter, cache, landing zone…), routes with distance, and your GPS position.
- Coordinates in MGRS, UTM, latitude/longitude and national grids, with datum choice. Type coordinates to go anywhere.
- Offline region maps: add free Mapsforge .map files or MBTiles and use the map with no signal.
- Photograph a paper map, georeference it from 2 to 4 known points and see your position on it.
- Export GPX or share points as text.

FAMILY NETWORK (OPTIONAL)
- One private group for your family, end-to-end encrypted: meeting points, messages, photos and live positions when there is signal.
- Off-grid mode: nearby phones link directly by Bluetooth and Wi-Fi with no network at all, plus a signal finder.

LORA RADIO (MESHTASTIC)
- Use the app as a Meshtastic client over Bluetooth or USB cable: chats, private channels with QR codes, radios heard nearby and full radio settings.
- Send meeting points over LoRa.
- Radio operator's guide for LoRa, PMR446, CB, VHF/UHF and HF.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
- No ads, no analytics, no tracking, no subscriptions. One purchase includes everything.
- The manual, maps and radio work without an account. An account is needed only for the family network and can be deleted in the app.
- Open source under the GNU GPL v3.

A first-run tour, a getting-started checklist and a how-to guide for every screen help you set everything up before you need it.

Important: this manual supports training and does not replace it. In an emergency call your local emergency number (112 in Europe, 911 in North America). Practise every skill beforehand and follow local laws on fire, foraging, hunting, knives and radio use.
