For Bear Grylls lovers, Survivor super fans, and Hunger Games wannabes: it doesn’t get much more badass than this. Based on the US Army Survival Manual: FM 21-76 (pick up a copy on Amazon), Survival Guide is a free app filled with 19 chapters of life-saving goodness.

The app is available for iOS and Android devices. Read more at Lifehacker.
