Today, Tuesday, is ‘book bomb’ day for ,Rawles’ new book….”The Ultimate Prepper’s Survival Guide”
If you’ve been thinking about getting a copy, today is the day to do it. I was fortunate enough to get an advance copy several weeks back but I’ll probably pick up an extra copy as a gift for someone. A timely Christmahanukwanzakah (or Festivus) gift for the not-quite-yet-an-LMI on your list.
Not sure if its” the ultimate preppers survival guide” or “the ultimate preppers survival guide”. What if I’m not the ultimate prepper but just a really good one?
Great news. Will this publication and author again espouse investing in antique cars, near obsolete armaments, swiss money, and other unicorn rancher accoutrements. *awles served a purpose, but jumped the shark into a non realistic cultural caste of yuppie prepper types. Sorry, I will save my poor boy money for more practical tangibles, rather than more of someone’s recycled pulp.
So the market for preparedness books should only be limited to poor people in travel trailers?
I’m sure Lord Bison isn’t amused! 😉
I do not understand the antique firearms purchase as both a good investment and preparedness move. So, if my AR/AK is outlawed, banned or taxed out of existence, I just will rely on my bolt action 1898 30-40 Krag as my go-to weapon? I don’t think so. To me, firearms are tools and the speculative collector guns are simply a discretionary pleasure with possible investment potential.

So you’ll be using…a sharp stick?
No. I become a criminal.
Your comment said ‘out of existence’, implying that these arms are no longer available or in existence. If they are still in existence and you’re talking about keeping them in defiance of the law, thats one thing but your comment implied that they were not available at all, legally or otherwise, in which case a bolt action Krag probably is superior to an AK or AR that does not exist.
CDR, my supernatural-intuition suggests that you probably don’t *need* this book. 🙂
His first iteration of the book is what ‘flipped the switch’ for me years ago. I wore that sucker out. Ordered the new on at 00:04 today.
Wow, a whole $2.50 off the list price and nothing about what the book contains.
That will sell like hotcakes!
I got a copy last month from Costco.
Most if not all of the information in it is already known by the people that frequent this blog including me.
I do however like the format of the book and the lists in the back of it.
I’m going to buy a couple of copies as gifts for kith and kin that are not well versed in preparedness.
@Bud Green: exactly! Plan on giving it a look over, probably copying the lists, and than gifting to my brother who needs it. Agree with @Tim, while I was already there to a certain degree, reading his first book, prompted me to step up. Thanks JWR!
