The world isn't quite the safe and happy place I'd like to believe it is. Don't believe me? Look at what Mr. Putin is doing in Eurasia.I think that in times like these, being prepared to survive on your own is absolutely essential. After all, while chances of a third world war starting soon are probably slim, having a bug out bag packed and ready won't hurt.Thompson does a good job of showing readers exactly how to prepare for survival using just the basics. His thoughtful advice made the idea of preparing a bug out bag a lot less intimidating to me even thought I knew little about this topic before I read this book.I also appreciated the fact that the author's advice is tailored for maximizing the chances of survival during the first 72 hours following a disaster.As another reviewer mentioned in his review, it is indeed better to be prepared for the worst than not. This is why I highly recommend this extremely useful book.
