Review: Interesting Overview

The best light in which to view this small tract is as an introductory piece to the notion of surviving an 'economic' collapse.The author relays the government's advice that everyone should be prepared to 'survive' off the grid for 72 hours, and he gives people an idea of what they ought to have on hand.What follows is an overview of what homeowners can do: gardening, livestock, aquaponics (?) and water conservation.  Given the broad stock of the topic, you shouldn't expect much detail.Personally, I liked the writing style.  And while some of the information is good, some of the particular gardening advice is wrong, while other advice is oddly phrased.  For example, in talking about raised bed gardening, the book says: "The plants can be spaced closer than the usual.  This is okay since the soil that you use in this mode of gardening is more concentrated."I was fortunate to snag a copy of this for free.  I read it on my Kindle and there were no formatting problems.
