(Update) In the comments, I have been notified by Jim of the origin of this list. It was sent to me by a friend with no source given.

According to Jim (and he seems to be correct), this is the source: http://snardfarker.ning.com/profiles/blogs/survival-books-free-downloads

My apologies...I certainly did not put it together...too much work!

Also, I've been notified that many of the links are dead now. Sorry. I didn't hit each one. Regardless, maybe you will find something of interest. (End of Update)
