"lots of important info, start putting together your survival kit for you and your family.....start a fire, protect your family, and defeat the new world order"
"This book is poorly written, terribly organized, and horribly (I mean HORRIBLY) edited, but I almost gave it four stars. Obviously, you don't read a book like this expecting great literature. The guy who wrote it isn't a writer (and apparently neither were his "editors") -- he's a legit survival expert. The sheer amount of useful information in this book makes it worth owning and worth actually reading. Besides the obvious worst-case-scenario imagination-stimulation, you might actually learn something that could someday save a life or two. Two caveats though: 1) The quality of the writing and (I think) the information itself trailed off a little by the last few chapters; and 2) there were three or four places where the writer was either "stretching" beyond his actual knowledge or had someone else slap together that section for him. For instance, despite instructions to the contrary, on a raft or any other vessel that's just floating with the current (river or ocean), a rudder will not work at all. (Just a few questionable passages in a book that's almost 600 pages long is not too shabby...)"
