Downloadable Documents
The following documents and spreadsheets are for you to download and print or review at your leisure.
It is wise to print any that you feel you may need in a crisis situation for your Important Documentation Book. Remember during a crisis, things like your computer and the internet may NOT be available, so hard copy becomes a valuable asset.
You will note that quite a few of these documents are about how to do things without technology, or the modern conveniences of today’s technological infrastructures. This does NOT mean you need to do without all that technology gives us in the here and now. Rather this is to provide knowledge in how things used to be done, so we can try these “by hand” scenarios, NOW, before any crisis occurs, that can rob us of our technology. The main purpose of this is to be sure we have a “working idea” in the skills of how to do things, so we do not risk our health or our lives when put in a situation where we have no choice but to do something by hand - the old fashioned way.
A word of advice: For items that are online articles, if the information is something you want, I would copy and paste the information into a document or if you have a PDF converter then "Print to PDF", complete with its URL and save it digitally and in hard copy. I would also download any PDF now, not later, as many of these URL's, articles and documents disappear every few years or so. Keep a binder that can put your hardcopy into and use section dividers to help categorize the information.
Note: If by chance I have uploaded a currently copyrighted document, please let me know so I can remove it. I have made every attempt to provide source links to the documents I did not create myself.
Also, I have tried to correct any links to my old document site (scribd.com), should you find any that I missed, please comment on my blog with the document name and I will correct it and re-upload. Thank you ;-}
