This book left me absolutely astounded. This is not a piece of literature that will explain bullet calibers, how to pack a bug out bag, or what plants are edible; but instead delves deeply into psychology, theory, and statistics; among other things. Regardless of preparation, or the lack there of, what are the characteristics of […]
The Survivors Club
The Survivors Club: The Secrets and Science that Could Save Your Life by Ben Sherwood I think my brother stumbled on this book while deployed in Iraq. He was blown away by the contents and had to share it with me when he got home. My mind was also subsequently blown away, and now I […]
Back to Basics
My brother sent me this book review; and while I’m pretty sure he wrote it, I don’t know so. As he is currently overseas and not readily available for calls due to his current military posting I’m gonna run it and assume he is the author until he confirms or corrects me. I love this book […]
Going Home
Going Home, by A. American, is one of the best books I’ve read in a long time; and possibly the best fictional survival book I’ve read thus far. And if you like it pick up Surviving Home as a follow on. The story is one of a man on a business trip when the SHTF […]
Patriots: A Novel of Surviving the Coming Collapse
I have to give thanks to my brother for another great book review. I’ve also read this book but was introduced to it from another source. Among prepping circles this will typically be among the top recommended books. Personally I think the story telling is good but not superb; but the information and other literature […]

Although it is quite literally written over 2,000 years ago, 512 BCE according to some scholars; it has never the less lasted into our day because of the timeless nature of the content. […]
Edible & Medicinal Plants of the Rockies
My brother wrote me a fine book review on this piece of literature. I’ve glanced at this book in the past, as my brother was staying here and we had a habit of unpacking and repacking our bug-out-bags when we got bored, and this book was always packed in a handily retrievable location. I’ve added […]
Little House Series
Despite my enjoyment of sophisticated literature, the Little House series has always been one of my favorites. The author, Laura Elizabeth Ingalls Wilder (February 7, 1867 – February 10, 1957) encouraged by her daughter Rose, wrote a series of books depicting life in the mid to late 1800s. Her family was one which homesteaded untouched […]

I gotta thank my wife’s cousin, Natalie, for this review, and letting me re-post the article. check out her blog at http://simplicityinallthings.blogspot.com/ Jon You might remember this book from this post here. I got it for my birthday. I am so excited to develop my new found hobby of eating wild plants! There is a guy up […]
