You know, I started thinking about this... why doesn't ETS start a open source documentation project for things like this? Nuclear fallout, Bio-weapons attacks, Natural disasters, Equipment and kits, Long term food storage, First Aid, Emergency Medical Procedures (for when you aren't going to get to a hospital), Marine survival, Home Defense, Disaster preparation, Field living, Natural remedies, Hunting, Edible/poison plant/animal identification, Desert/arctic/tropic survival... the list could go on.

The beauty is that multiple people could put in their expertise and the end result could be combined into a really nice living document all with cross referencing. Users could add/take what they want and it could be distributed in multiple formats: WML, HTML, XML, PDF, RTF, and any number of others. With good pictures (donated or taken specially for the project) and text, it could be really a great project.

I like the idea of having this available and I don't like thinking that all that work falls on one person... Really, this site is already very much the raw basis for such a project and a lot of that information is already available, though perhaps not as organized or cross referenced with a quick-lookup index. <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Any thoughts on the viability of such a project?
