Lots of repetition but does have a nice list of things to have in a disaster and which disaster to plan what products for.
If you are looking for a list of what you need or an excuse to stockpile ammo in the next two years this is not the book for you. The way the information was presented at times to me seemed a little preachy or even self righteous but it was clear and entertaining to follow.
But every segment covers some neat info that might save your ass should something happen. You may find yourself missing information but I think the point of this book was to jump start your quest to find the rest and be self reliant.
I have become more interested in some specific topics this book covers. Even in the first few chapters the vibe is geared toward understanding, community and self reliance, if everyone portrayed such traits there may be no need for the title.
While nothing is definitive these days and nothing really can prepare you for what you may go through in a crisis, at least you will have a head start. I think the first chapters are essential for realizing that the most important thing you can remember from this book is to keep a positive attitude and that going it alone might be hell on your nerves and body.
It is not a tell all on how to survive the Apocalypse, to which I am relieved.
Poorly written with basic information your average 13 year old knows. I've read over 50 books of this type and this is by far the worst. The only reason I gave it a 1 is because I couldn't give it a zero. Do not waist time buying this book.
This is the first survival book I've ever read that's actually fun to read. His writing style is very accessible too. Highly recommended. Cody Lundin's 98.6 degrees takes every other survival book I've ever read and blows it right out of the water. The concepts are so simple, yet amazingly important. The book has a good flow, has awesome art and photography, and is quite humorous while still telling you exactly what you need to know.
A great read with plenty of meat yet presented in a fun fashion perfect for the masses who need this information the most. Interesting first section on "manifestation" and the survival mind-set.
