There has been a lot of information regarding the possibilities of a global pandemic. While this is something to be concerned about, not a lot of people have been able to explain exactly why. The Pandemic Preparedness Guide has filled in a lot of gaps and answered the why question, at least for me. Ken…
How To Embrace An Off-Grid Lifestyle by Tammy Trayer I would first like to thank Tammy for her willingness to share this information with the public and for allowing me to review her work. I know there were many trials and tribulations with her health and making the life she desired for her and Austin…
A.L. White continues to thrill us with the third in the Z Chronicles series with Hybrid Z. I fully believe that this is his best work yet. The book kept me guessing and hoping for the safety of the team and the new cast of characters. Virginia and Lori along with their trusty dogs, Zeus…
I have previously read W.C. Hoffman’s Twins of Prey and was very pleased with the story. I thought the skills the twins were using were believable and put to good use. You can read the review here. However, when it comes to sequels, I do not set my bar very high because I believe that…
Recently I was given a free review copy of “For Us The Living: Judgement Day” by R.A. Peters. While there has been a move to do less and less book reviews, I still like a good story and definitely a good book. The main problem I have is, like most movies, there is nothing new…
I have been focusing a lot on history and how-to type books lately. My book reviews have also become a little more scarce due to my busy schedule. Every now and then, I feel the need to put seriousness aside and indulge in a little guilty pleasure. Zombies! Author A.L. White did a great job…
Although I was surprised when author W.C. Hoffman reached out to me in order to review his new book, “Twins Of Prey,” I was very happy to do it. While I had seen excerpts and postings about the book, I had not looked in depth to really see what the book was about. Hoffman’s response was that…
As I am always looking to expand my knowledge, I was looking for a book specifically on primitive skills. While I have found several, the updated copy of “Ultimate Guide to Wilderness Living” by John and Geri McPherson, was the one I landed on. Although this book was written in 2008, it incorporates some of John’s…
I have read a lot of books in my day but I cannot remember the last one that was as detailed as “Urban & Wildlife Emergency Preparedness” by James Hart. At just under 560 pages (listed as 510pp on the website), this book provides great detail on several subjects. After the passionate information found in the authors note,…
Being a prepper/survivalist, someone that is prepared for things to come, I am always looking for more information to help me accomplish the daily tasks that I set before myself. Food Storage is one of the main tasks that I strive for and am constantly trying to improve on any of my methods. Recently, I…
Jim Westfield is back in an all new adventure with Iron Mountain. While the cast of characters picks up from the previous story, Flotilla, there is enough background information at the beginning and scattered throughout the book that this book could stand on it’s own. I personally enjoy a story that has maps to help…
Let me start by saying this is not the type of book I usually review. If you are looking for survival, apocalyptic or zombies, this is not the review I am writing. HOWEVER, if you are looking for a well written story that passes through different times with world domination as the theme, this book…
It is often realized that sequels are rarely as good as the original regardless of movies or books. Although the potential is there, take every movie you have seen and the percentages of successful “part 2” movies really aren’t worth the time they spent at the box office. Happily, I cannot say the same for…
“Imagine if you will.” You are out for your morning jog. The weight of the world is on your shoulders as you think about the constant barrage of negative news stories and how it affects you and your family. You drift off to the natural high that comes with running, listening to the birds and…
I have virtually met a lot of people via social media over the past several years. Lately, it seems the virtual relationships have been developing into more of a friendship. If you look at the purpose behind the idea of social media, it is tracking with exactly how my life is going. As many of…
Until recently, Charley Hogwood had been sending me articles on Mutual Assistance Groups (MAGS). Since this was something I was unfamiliar with, I took note and deeply pondered the information within the articles. In the last communication regarding MAGS, I was informed that Charley was actually finishing up a book on the subject. I was…
I have read a lot of books in my time and have been working on a lot of reviews in the past few years. I am again excited with my latest review. Even though the EPP Workbook presented by The Civil Defense Network is technically an easy read, it is a challenging book. When I…
I have been somewhat a “fan” of all things zombie since I was a child. The snarling, flesh-rotting, former humans have always had an appeal to me, even to the point of walking around the house searching for all thing that looked like the “life” sustaining gray matter they longed for. Now as an adult,…
I bought The Prepper’s Handbook shortly after it came out in December 2011 and was very pleased with my purchase. Zion Prepper started with this book and some of it can be found in his latest release of The Prepper’s Survival Guide: An Introduction to Prepping and a Guide to Fire. I do believe there…
There are few books that provide the detail I look for regarding prepping and survival. Bryan Foster, aka Zion Prepper, has provided that detail with his latest book, The Prepper’s Survival Guide: An Introduction to Prepping and a Guide to FIRE. This book is definitely worth the purchase. Why? You may ask. For starters, the…
