Review: How to Survive the End of the World As We Know It
How to Survive the End of the World As We Know It by James Wesley Rawles
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
If you are wealthy, worried and willing to live in the middle of nowhere, this book is a perfect guide for setting up a safe home. We're talking SAFE. Natural disasters, terrorist activities, martial law - you name it and Rawles can get you ready to face it. Now, the average person (like me!) will have no way to accomplish 80% of the ideas put forth in this book. The good news is that the remaining 20% is still useful enough that I'm planning to add a copy to preparedness stash. And, if am ever in a position to do more, I'll have the guide book ready!
My only disappointment in the book was the charitable aspect of the writer's plans. I realize I sound like a horrible human being for criticizing those that would do good and help others and give willingly of themselves for the benefit of others...but really? In a disaster I can't imagine giving away a single thing that could possibly be needed to sustain my own family. It gave a sense of unbelievability to a book that was rock solid.
