Clearly, Rawles is among the top survivalists on the planet; probably ranked number one, in fact. He seems to have thought of just about everything for any disaster imaginable. His book was fascinating to a guy like me, who before reading this, hardly ever thought about packing for a nuclear holocaust. I'd be one of those idiots running around getting covered in fallout, then wondering why all my hair was falling out. I wouldn't stand a chance. <br /> <br />Now, I think I'd have a fighting chance of faring a little better, but I still doubt if I'm going to be as prepared as Rawles in the event the world starts disintegrating anytime soon. I hate to sound fatalistic, but if the big one got dropped in my neighborhood, I'd be so distraught, I'd probably just hope I got whacked in the first blast. <br /> <br />However, as a guy who's trying to learn new things, I picked up a few survival tips from the master; and that's not bad. I'm far from being an expert on the subject, although I do find it interesting. Judging by the degree of information this guy dishes out, I'd say this survival guide is probably as comprehensive and detailed as anything currently available. <br /> <br />The only thing lacking, from my perspective is James Wesley Rawles' home address. Living next door to him would certainly be the easiest way to get through whatever mess we'd encounter; assuming I could engage him long enough for him to like me somewhat. I wonder if he likes baseball? James Wesley Rawles is one guy you wish you were friends with and happened to live next door to, in the unlikely event of a totally catastrophic event.

I will NEVER buy this book from you in Kindle form or actual form. I will drive to my local book store and give them my business. How can you possibly sell a book for a higher price in the Kindle format than for the actual book? There is absolutely no way you can justify this price differential. Oh wait.......greed is a good justification. If this is the authors choice. Clearly you have underestimated the American public. You'll be enjoying one less sale. Congratulations.

Makes me unhappy about the way amazon is running things. really more than the paperback. come on now lets get real. first there is no paper and no shipping cost involve, no printing of the nonexistant paper and last of all the downloading is on your own network so that is also lower in price.

That's a long time to be shaking in your boots in the remote wilderness waiting for something that has never happened in modern US history. Come out of your bunker Mr. Rawles. Life is to be enjoyed, not feared. This guy has been hunkered down in his survival retreat for at least the last decade.
