Doomsday Preppers Complete Survival Manual: Expert… por Michael Sweeney
A Christmas present, but incongruous for idle xmas period browsing. It hardly needs to be stated that strategies for 'prepping' depend on particular notions of societal failure and who the most likely 'enemy' is.
The Complete Survival Manual is a collection of techniques and skills necessary to Survive in the Wild. Printed by National Geographic, this book is displayed in beautiful technicolor. As in the previous books on this subject that I have read, this book begins by emphasizing preparedness. If you are prepared for something to happen, it won’t surprise you, and if you are not surprised, then you are less likely to die out in the wild. Having the right mindset is paramount as well.
The book divides the techniques by region. Take going to sea for example. You should know where you are going, and how to identify edible fish and so on.

The mind-bending science of how you see, what you think, and who you are.
Field guides aren't exactly page turners, but I rate this one highly for two reasons. First, it's especially concise and practical. It would be worthy as the one book to grab for any unknown scenario. Second, the personal stories at the end of each chapter are engaging and bring a realism to all the practical know how.
