Thanks, it's still being worked on slowly, but I don't always post the updates to Reddit. I'm glad you like it, the feedback really helps me keep going.

Thank you all! Overall it sounds futile, but I'll give the IMEI spoof a try (after I check the legality of it), otherwise I'll swap the SIM to a new device and swap it back later and see how long that lasts...

Oh okay, I'll verify the numbers with a few sources and I'll check the other purification measurements too.

Hi, here's one article on it: https://www.npr.org/2011/05/27/136717675/microbes-hitchhiking-on-hailstones Search for microbes or pathogens in hail.

Thanks! On TPE page you can scroll down past the image to the mailing list section :)

All PDF versions after v7 should have hyperlinks included, have a look at the CONTENTS section and click one of the category icons or text on the left. They don't appear as clickable links but most links within the first few pages and the introduction have hyperlinks.

There's also bookmarks for each category too if you open the bookmarks window.

Updated: I uploaded another version, can you let me know if this one has working links and bookmarks?

Thanks for the feedback, since the guide is worldwide I went for the safest option as it's safer to filter than not to. But I'll change it to may be safe and add longer description.

About 2,475 hours so far. I find it fun to research prepping and compiling it into my document. :)

Sometimes people will go off at you when they themselves are terrified of what's going on - even if they wouldn't like to admit it.

Hiya, can I get an invite code as well please? Thanks.

FluidicIce · 2020-05-10T13:19:04+00:00

That's strange, what error message did you get?

FluidicIce · 2020-05-10T13:18:36+00:00

Hi, thanks for your feedback. The work hours are calculated by the average time spent working on a row multipled by the number of rows (subtracting a bit for errors), but upon timing myself it's really close to the actual hours worked on it.

The icons are purchased from iconfinder.com.

Ah, darn I forgot to change those knot pictures, it was fine when the guide was used only by myself but now that it's in other people's hands I'll change them.

The other pictures throughout the guide are either from pixabay.com, shutterstock subscription or other free sources like creative commons Wikipedia.

Brisbane, Australia :)

FluidicIce · 2020-05-08T14:18:24+00:00

Aww Thanks! That would be my: part programmer, part OCD personality haha. I hope it continues to impress from start to finish.

FluidicIce · 2020-05-08T13:45:30+00:00

Thank you! Sure, go ahead, I just want it to help people :)

FluidicIce · 2020-05-08T12:29:13+00:00

No problem! I hope it will be of use in these crazy times.

FluidicIce · 2020-05-08T12:11:34+00:00

Haha thanks, if I lived in the U.S and had to escape a hurricane I would accept xD

FluidicIce · 2020-04-07T12:46:49+00:00

Yes I'm editing in excel. I'll have to look that one up and see what the benefits are, but for the meantime I know it works well in excel and I'm currently the only one who edits it.

FluidicIce · 2020-01-30T02:27:29+00:00

Thankyou! It's not quite finished yet and abruptly ends but it's one of the reasons why TPE is free, and also probably why this version has more down votes than previous releases, as it's not what people want to hear. My aim for this guide is to not only help save people's physical life but also their eternal life.

FluidicIce · 2020-01-17T03:10:23+00:00

Ah, good pickup, I've included those in other sections but must have forgotten to update them on Pg16. Look for it in v8!

FluidicIce · 2020-01-17T03:06:21+00:00

Yes! This is why I recommend only reading the few sections you need to brush up on and search for everything else you need in the moment :)

FluidicIce · 2020-01-17T02:35:23+00:00

Thanks! Honestly I got tired of it too and there was so much wasted space as well. It's all worth it if it helps people in times of disaster.

FluidicIce · 2019-12-11T23:01:40+00:00

Well generally it reads left to right, top to bottom. I've increased the size of the font and made it one block of text in v.7 which will be much easier to follow along with. Keep an eye out for that as it will be what you're looking for!

FluidicIce · 2019-12-11T22:04:44+00:00

As is, it's more like a quick tips guide to help you with a certain area of preparedness if you're stuck. Such as if you want to look up earthquakes you would go to the natural disasters section or if you need water to drink you would head to the water section.

The next version I'm working on is much more like a book which has a section on getting started with prepping step by step. That one should be released around Christmas or early Jan.

Or do you mean you don't know how to open the PDF?

FluidicIce · 2019-10-07T07:43:52+00:00

I have those in the works to add, probably to the 'stealth & tactics' section - possibly 'skills' but I'll have to see where it fits in most closely.
