REVIEW:
OK, so perhaps this title may be a little extreme but in a world where you have to look out for number one it’s a book that helps you prepare in case the world goes to hell in a hand basket. Whilst some of the advice in this title isn’t pertinent to those living in the UK (for example owning a firearm) the book really helps give the reader some serious advice on how to make a bag to the best of your ability (and in this case your wallet) so that you can carry enough to keep you going for 72 hours.
Personally whilst I won’t be making it as a Bug Out Bag, I do like to make sure that I’m prepared for hiking in case things go bad. After all you never know when you might have a fall, when you may end up reading your map wrong and find yourself out on the fells overnight or if you come across someone else who’s had an accident.
This title by Creek Stewart helped me make sure that I had a number of fire lighting sources, the ability to make a hot meal as well as having communications in case I need to make that emergency call. It also allows me to have a medical kit that will pretty much cover me for basics as well as giving the user the chance to check that they’re as prepared as they think they are. One addition that I would add to the kit that Creek hasn’t is a one serving bottle of either brandy or whiskey. It can be used as a steriliser for stitches as well as an emergency fire starter.
