different types of survivalist books
hello all,
I am interested in buying survivalist books. There are so many out there it makes my head spin. A lot of the information I have seen is geared towards the "open space" which is great but I am really interested if any on CG'ers have any valuable sources for the suburban and urban settings. The different types I am interested in are: 1. The typical "outback" "forrest" setting. 2. The Suburban type setting. 3. The urban type setting. Thank you in advance for your thoughts. |

Google "Ferfal" - He wrote a book about his experiences during the Argentine financial collapse living in the city - per Ferfal, the three essentials besides cash/gold are a pistol (he recommends Glock), bulletproof vest, and a years supply of food.

Not to thread jack.. but I'm quite interested in getting a good resource for edible/ medicinal plants. Maybe something that covers the Western US (or at least CA).
I've seen several for back east, but haven't found one that has good reviews for our side of the country.

a bit of a "wishy washy" answer but both. Just interested in learning about survival, protection in basic areas.

No problem. Another one I can recommend even more is Mao Tse-tung, On Guerrilla Warfare : html : pdf (FMFRP 12-18)
This would be for an advanced SHTF scenario, where everyone who will starve to death has starved already, and the bulk of the survivors have learned to scratch a meager living in the countryside. You and your men are a roving band living among the people in opposition to an occupying force of outsiders. Because the author is Mao, you might suspect that there would be communist doctrine, but their really isn't. The pdf version linked above is actually a US Marine Corps field manual. The historical context is the early-to-middle stages of resistance to the Japanese invasion of China in the 30's when the Communist Party was nominal allies of the Kuomintang nationalists. Because of this fact, the manual is almost purely instructional. If you are familiar with "Sun Tzu, the Art of War", then "On Guerrilla Warfare" will seem similar, but much more relevant to the realities of a SHTF existence. Also the USMC translator has a deep understanding of the subject and his introduction is just as good as Mao's text. Forget everything you thought you knew about defending yourself and your family. This is the real deal. |
