This is perhaps the most extensive tome we have mounted up in the Memex to date. 2000+ pages packed to the margins with excellent charts, graphs and lists accompanied by very detailed instructions on how to do just about anything after the apocalypse.
It’s laid out easy to read and peruse but the sheer size might be intimidating. You can jump to pages through indexes and you’ll likely need to zoom on some pages to make out the text in places.

"The Preparedness Encyclopedia" by “FluidicIce” is a comprehensive, self-published resource designed for those looking to prepare for a wide range of emergencies, from natural disasters to societal collapse. Spanning thousands of hours of research, as noted in community feedback on Reddit, this digital compendium (often updated in PDF format) covers an extensive array of topics, including food storage, water purification, shelter-building, and even niche subjects like beekeeping and small engine repair. Its hyperlinked structure and bookmark-enabled navigation make it a practical, user-friendly guide for preppers of all levels, though its sheer volume — 60+ megabyte document — can feel overwhelming. The author’s dedication to refining the work based on community input, as seen in versions 5 through 8, ensures it remains a living document, responsive to user critiques.
It is written from the viewpoint of the faithful and even includes lengthy sections on Christianity and the "rapture," which may not be the theology of some believers. The guide’s strength lies in its exhaustive detail and accessibility, with free PDF versions and a wealth of actionable tips, making it a valuable starting point for beginners and seasoned preppers alike. Its community-driven evolution sets it apart from static survival manuals.
Overall, "The Preparedness Encyclopedia" is a robust, if occasionally unwieldy, resource that balances practical advice with some questionable tangents. It’s best suited for those willing to sift through its extensive content to extract what’s relevant to their needs, ideally supplementing it with hands-on practice and additional research. For anyone serious about preparedness, it’s a worthwhile addition to their digital library. You know that old cliche that starts with “If you could take one PDF file to the post-apocalypse … ?” I think this might be it.
