Rating: 4 out of 5

You might not be able to see it if the book cover is too small on your screen, but the author's sense of humor is evident in the photo on the book cover. There is a golf club sticking out of the bug out bag. The humor continues throughout the book to keep the tone of this often-serious subject a little more light-hearted.This book had some great advice in chapter five on building a bug out bag on a very limited budget. What if you don't have the money to go and pick up everything on the "list" or everything you want? Where do you start? What do you save for and what do you compromise on and buy now?This book went so far as to offer some additional advice about bug-out locations and personal defense. The book ended with some helpful Amazon links so that readers could easily find and purchase some of the items mentioned in the book. I'm sure the author gets a commission off of purchases, but it was not intrusive or annoying.It had a properly linked TOC, but it was not easily accessed from the "Go To..." menu.Overall, this book is recommended for the interesting perspective at this price point, but if you want to read the best book on the subject, I recommendBuild the Perfect Bug Out Bag.If you enjoy reading about survival and prepping and want a slightly different perspective, I also recommendUltralight Survival: Make a Small and Light Bug Out Bag That Could Save Your Lifefor specific advice on creating the lightest and most efficient bug-out-bag possible.
