    PERHAPS OVERKILL
  

*by S***H on Reviewed in the United States on October 25, 2010*

This book is about what you would do if you had $1-$2 million allocated for preparation for doomsday. However, you can get perhaps 50% of the way there for $3,000 and 80% for $50,000.For $1+ million you have your remote fortress, multiple vehicles, sizable weapons cache with high tech thermal sights, immediate use food, long term food, seeds for doomsday, animals, redundant power (solar and generator) , medical supplies, fuel supply, diesel making equipment,  solar power array, communications etc.It's a book filled with recommendations by someone who has put a lot of effort into the process and the product. It's inevitable that among the thousands of comments there will be some information subject to question.At some point you might decide to spend the $50K on the program and take the other $950,000 (if you have it) to Vegas, plunk half of it on the concierge desk and them them you want to have a very good time , something that you will treasure if doomsday lasts more than 30 days.Personally, I think it should be a crime not to have some minimal level of preparation, especially if you have a family. This includes the training you will need to be self sufficient  (individually or with neighbors) for 30 days and to be able to leave home on 15 minutes notice with enough to survive for perhaps two weeks.General Honore talks of his post hurricane experience in Florida where only hours after the hurricane people were in the streets demanding to know when the government would arrive with water and food. People with 200 songs on their Iphone and a BMW in the garage seem to think that minimal preparation is beyond them.The author repeatedly emphasizes the need for training in basic skills including medical skills and firearms. This is one of the most important areas. I also appreciated that he repeatedly recommends that you be prepared to be a good neighbor to those in need.There's a lot to like in the book. Things I would have added or changed:The book needs to recommend or provide an introduction to understanding ohms law  to provide a foundation for understanding what's practical to power with solar or a generator.Before you install a well pump look at the alternatives. It's tempting to put the largest pump we can power off the grid down the well. However, it might be better to put a smaller pump in that can be powered by an auxiliary generator or the solar system's inverter in an emergency. In any event the pump's electrical requirements should be written on the controller box. It's the voltage and starting amps that count  i.e.  240V 20AThe simple way to make the system rapidly convertible from the grid to alternate power is to have the pump controller to power connection made with a plug (of the correct voltage/amp)and to label the breaker requirement for the pump.Much of the energy on a typical shallow well system is used to pressurize the system rather than pump water out of the well. Plan to go to an unpressurized system with a reservoir.There are also un-powered ram pumps used in developing countries which can take water with a 20 foot head and pump 10% of it up 100 feet. They are noisy. See internet for a description.Personally a seaworthy boat would make a great combination of escape vehicle and retreat. It needs to be one that will take you to safety with only unskilled crew.Best of all,  I would like to have an airplane that I can fly or have a neighbor who flys. However, depending on the situation aircraft may be grounded and takeoffs prohibited at airports that are policed.I'm not impressed with electric vehicles as a doomsday alternative. Although he recommends them as the third vehicle, I would rather have a duplicate of something else for parts swapping.Ethanol containing gasoline has a relatively short life before serious deterioration begins. A fuel stabilizer is essential. I would also look to a vehicle which would run on leaded fuel in an emergency and perhaps invest in a few drums of avgas which is much more stable than autogas. Yes it will kill the cat converter and probably the 02 sensor.I have spent some time living on a remote cattle ranch in BC without electricity, refrigeration, TV, radio etc. Books are essential food for the brain.If the evil government is going to come looking for you and your followers my guess is that they will simply do a thermal scan on a cold night.I'm not much of a fan of building a massive front door unless you are going to put bars on all the windows and build using block. Putting bars on all the windows is likely to put you at a greater risk in the more probable event of a fire.If you are going to build your retreat then you need an auxiliary building to store some stuff in the event you burn down the main building.I'm not a gun expert by a long shot, but I would limit the types of guns to a small handgun (.22), large bore handgun, small rifle (same caliber as handgun)  , large rifle and shotgun. If more guns were added they would be duplicates for parts and ammunition interchangeability and familiarity. Overall I think there was too much emphasis on weapons.Based on the same BC experience I would have a conventional long knife for utility purposes. There are lots of situations in the outdoors where a conventional knife is very useful.While I would not advertise what I had, I think the need for secrecy may be overblown. However, the author has it right when he talks about the need to react immediately. The real tragedy of New Orleans is that by the time the mayor issued the evacuation order it was too late. It was not a surprise in that the emergency plan for New Orleans emphasized that an early evacuation order was the key.In summary it is an informative and entertaining book. Recommended.

    Not bad, but misses the boat
  

*by A***S on Reviewed in the United States on October 6, 2009*

Rawles is a great non-fiction writer, and this is a well written book. However, it has some major faults:- The book is for hard core survivalists only. It assumes complete and absolute break down of civilization. It does not deal with "simpler" short-term emergencies (tornado, fire, flood) that you can ride out living in your normal urban or suburban environment. The book is practically all about establishing a well-stocked remote rural retreat, which you defend tooth-and-nail against looters and invaders, while keeping the curtains down not to let them see your window lights.- Rawles preaches to the choir, not to the uninitiated. If you are not familiar with the survivalist vernacular and have not read similar books / blogs, you will find this book a little jarring and over your head. In fact, Rawles often cross-references his fiction novel Patriots as supplementary guide. Speaking of preaching to the choir: all these five stars reviews which are highly rated as helpful - feel free to ignore the ones written before October 2. Given that this book started shipping on the last day of September and is not available for Kindle, there is simply no way people could have received and read the book before Friday October 2. Rawles is known for encouraging his blog readers to all buy the book on the same day to create a "bestseller" effect on Amazon, and this carries over to the reviews. So beware.- Book is way too tiny and short for much useful learning. In fact, each chapter is basically a thoughtful intro followed by a list of items to get, with some quick facts (e.g. how long honey or wheat can be stored, where to buy the containers, etc). There is barely any attempt to teach survival attitude and skills - those are farmed out to other books or training courses. To the author's credit, he has plenty of great pointers to other books and courses. However, you are much better off going there in the first place.- Rawles has a misanthropic, dog-eat-dog sense to his writing, both in this book and in Patriots. It is too much about hunkering down in your darkened bunker, eating MREs, and using plenty of ammo to keep the less fortunate souls away. While it is possible that a major event could end civilization as we know it, I do wish Rawles had a more positive tone and attitude, at least when trying to covert newcomers to his cause :)There is one really big issue with hard core survivalism in general. If a truly massive global or nationwide disaster comes to pass, the likelihood of surviving it is low, no matter how well you prepare. Surviving a nuclear war or a mass epidemic is unlikely, and more about random chance than preparation. The survivors are bound to come together in sizable groups for strength and protection. If a well armed gang or ex-military unit converges on one of the Rawles-style rural retreats, game is over. So at the end of the day, at least to me, hard-core survivalism comes across as a militaristic make-believe game, mostly indulged by paranoid guys. Last but not least, unlike "soft-core" temporary disaster survival, what Rawles recommends is expensive and requires major lifestyle changes, which limits its appeal tremendously.So, what's good about this book? The chapters on food storage and vehicles stand out. Also, if you are looking for a primer on surviving a major end-of-civilization disaster, this is a great starting point. To the author's credit, his survival blog has more readers than most daily newspapers, so he knows his stuff, whether you agree with him or not.

*by A***R on Reviewed in Australia on February 9, 2015*

Very heavy on gun info. That information is useless to me living in a country where guns are basically illegal.The rest of the information was common sense and a good place to start.He did make me feel as if I was going to die because I can't afford a refuge in the wilderness. Then I looked at a satellite  photo taken at night like he recommended and laughed. The suburban area where I live has the same or less night time lights as the 'rural' areas he recommended people redoubt to.
