There is no flowery rhetoric or page fillers to make this a thick book. The only goal of this book is to KEEP YOU ALIVE; to prepare you mentally and physically to get you ready for any bad times BEFORE they arrive. All treatise in this book are interchangeable to meet any disaster. Only a very few of these items listed have but one use. Most everything can be used for camping or outdoor/indoor activities and absolutely none are a waste of money. Knowledge is power, the more the better. This book attempts to show items valuable in any emergency, however small or large, and everything in this book is defensive. You will find synopses of various scenarios that could devastate this great country, so you will have some cursory knowledge of the evil that men can do, and the power of an angry Mother Nature.
