In between traveling and work, I’ve made time to do some more reading.  Last month, I reviewed The Prepper’s Pocket Guide and encouraged everybody who didn’t already have a copy to buy it.  This month, I had a chance to read an even more in-depth book on the subject and will encourage everybody to pick up a copy as well.

The Prepper’s Instruction Manual covers a lot of material but focuses on fewer subjects.  The result is more detailed and in-depth information that can be used to become better prepared.  I really liked this book and thought it struck a good compromise between being thorough detailed on the subject matter yet broad enough to cover a wide range of preparation-related subjects.  The result is an advanced-beginner to intermediate-level book on the subject.

The author is a NASA Engineer and has thoroughly researched the subjects he covers in his book.  Like me (and you?) he is a normal person who lives in the real world, not one who lives “off the grid” on some remote retreat in the forest.  That said, he isn’t afraid to tackle some serious subjects (ex. burying dead bodies) in his book.  The writing makes it easy to read and the chapters are short and sweet.  This book is worth the time and money.

So if you have a few spare dollars, buy a copy and start reading.

Overall Rating:  8/10
