Behind the scenes
The Wasteland Survival Guide is a carryover based on the book of the same name from Fallout 3 and Fallout: New Vegas. It was originally written by Moira Brown with the help of the Lone Wanderer. Some of the topics in the magazine were never mentioned in Fallout 3. However, other topics in the magazine are in reference to the quest itself.
