Wasteland Survival Guide (Fallout: New Vegas)

The Wasteland Survival Guide is a skill book in Fallout: New Vegas.
==Background==
Published by Moira Brown (with help from the Lone Wanderer) in 2277, the guide saw distribution throughout the wasteland by travelers. The book provides knowledge on how to survive the harsh wasteland. It became popular, as within a short four years, it had already reached as far as the Mojave Wasteland.

:
==Locations==
Other than being crafted, the skill book can be found in the following locations.
==Notes==
* There are no additional copies to be found in the Dead Money, Honest Hearts or Old World Blues add-ons. The Courier can, however, craft an additional one in Old World Blues with blank books from the Book Chute, two wonderglues, and the correct recipe.
* It is substantially larger than most other skill books. 
* Excluding add-ons, it is the only type of skill book that can be found in outdoor locations.
==Behind the scenes==
The Wasteland Survival Guide was included in the game, rather than the Scout Handbook, to demonstrate the wider impact and influence of the Lone Wanderer on the world, as well as to establish a link between Fallout 3 and Fallout: New Vegas.Joshua Sawyer Formspring posts/2012:"Why wasn't the Scout Handbook from classic Fallout games included in NV/changed to Wasteland Survival guide?"Joshua Sawyer: "There are very few links between F3 and F:NV. Including the WSG shows the wider impact and influence of the Lone Wanderer from F3 on the world."
