Survival Reading Books for the Summer Book BagGaye Levy, Contributor Over the past few months, I have acquired a number of books relating to prepping and survival. Some I have read and others are still in the queue. Alas, it is my intent to put up reviews on all of them, but until I gather my somewhat scattered wits about me, I thought I would provide you with a list so that you can pick and choose for yourself. Without Rule of Law: A Review This is a tough book to read, and more than once I put it down thinking that I was not going to go back. But I did. Without Rule of Law: Advanced Skills to Help You Survive,by Joe Nobody, is a manual for surviving in a hostile, post-SHTF world. It is about avoiding bad people the kind of people we hope we will never have to meet. It is also about the most dire strategies for survival including but not limited to breaking and entering in order to scavenge and pilfer when there is no other choice. In my opinion, the best section of this book was the portion that describes how to hide in plain sight. Joe calls this urban camouflage and I feel this section is worth the cost of the book. Finally, I would like to quote the author in saying: Survival Reading Take Your Pick The following books are newer additions the survival bookshelf with reviews coming up soon: Build the Perfect Bug Out Bag: Your 72-Hour Disaster Survival Kit:This book shows you how to create a self-contained disaster preparedness kit to help you survive your journey from ground zero to a safer location.
