- How do I treat a deep cut or a burn when no doctor is reachable?
- Which food spoils first when the fridge is off, and how do I keep the rest?
- How do I heat one room safely, without carbon monoxide?

- What should my family do in the first 24 hours?
Look inside
Everything is sorted into topic folders, so you find the right guide in seconds, even under stress and by flashlight.
Each topic is its own download. Start with what matters most to you and get the rest later.
How it works
Buy once
Pay securely with card, Apple Pay or Google Pay. Your personal download page opens right away, and you get the link by email.
Download now
Download the topic files while you still have internet. A broken download can be resumed instead of starting over.
Keep a copy
Copy everything to a USB stick, a laptop or a tablet. From then on, it works without any connection.
What you're paying for
Most documents in the database are public-domain books and official publications that may be freely shared. Many of them can be found online one by one, if you know where to look and have the time.
What you buy is the collection itself: the searching, checking, cleaning up and sorting of more than a thousand documents into one library you can trust when you need it.
The database is a reference, not a replacement for doctors, emergency services or professional advice. When help is reachable, use it.

Questions
Does it work on my phone?
Yes. Every phone can open PDFs. For the full library, a laptop or a USB stick is easier, but you can keep the most important folders on your phone.
What format are the files?
PDF documents inside ZIP files, one ZIP per topic. Every computer can open ZIP files, and phones can too.
How big is the download?
About 10 GB in total, split into topic parts. You can start with the topics that matter most and download the rest later.
Where do the documents come from?
Mostly public-domain books and official publications that may be freely shared, collected and sorted by topic. You pay for the collection and the sorting, not for the individual documents.
I lost my download email. What now?
Email support@theblackoutfiles.com with the address you used at checkout, and you'll get your link again.
Is it available in German?
Not yet. The English edition comes first. A German edition is planned.
