Overview
About Field Library
If the internet were gone for a month, which books would you want on the shelf? The Field Library is our answer: six titles that have earned their reputations over decades, chosen so that their subjects overlap as little as possible.
Together they cover immediate survival, medical care, practical skills, growing and preserving food, and the science of how essential things are made. Titles are supplied in their current publisher editions; if one is out of print we substitute the closest equivalent and tell you before shipping.
What it does not do
We would sooner you knew now.
- Third-party titles are the work of their authors and publishers; ICEKIT is a reseller and is not affiliated with them.
- Editions may change. A title may be substituted with an equivalent if it becomes unavailable.

Questions
What are the best survival books to own?
Aim for coverage, not quantity: one general survival manual, one current first aid manual, one book on food growing and preserving, one on practical outdoor skills, and one that explains how essential technologies work. That is the logic behind the six titles in this set.
Can I return it?
Yes. Unopened kits can be returned within 30 days of delivery for a refund. See the Shipping & Returns page for the details.
