A Failure of Civility
Find it on Amazon.
I was talking with a Ranger buddy a day or two ago and he had a copy. He is very impressed with it and said HE was using it.
. . get that? An ARMY RANGER said he is finding it useful?!?!
I needed no further endorsement. My copy shipped today.
If anyone wants a PM me their email address, I have an 80 page except in PDF format...
So how is the book? I looked for it at books a million but they don't have it.
I am learning TONS from it. Seriously this is an extraordinary reference book.
Would it be possible to bring it to the chili cookoff? I'd like to look it over before I buy one. Thanks.
Not a problem!
. . as long as my memory holds up.:o

He does have his own website now but the extensive thread from Survivalistboards is sadly gone.

This does bring up a question I've had lingering in the back of my mind. A survival library. Has anyone seen any references to good book choices? Obviously some would depend on the size of the event, for example books on first aid and such would be needed for a simple hurricane, but long term food issues would not be as important.
I have quite an extensive library of REAL books not Kindle crap. I recommend where there is no doctor, where there is no dentist, FM-2176 Survival Manual, Ditch Medicine, A book for Midwives, FM5-103 Survivalibility, The special forces medic handbook, FM3-06 Urban Combat, LDS prepardness manual (thats a good one), Ranger medic handbook, Sanitation and Cleanliness for a healthy environment by Jeff Conant, Survival and Austire medicine. These are a few I can think of off the top of my head. I printed them all out and bound them. They are all free downloads in .pdf format.

You can google the rest.
These books mentioned are all exceptional, and I have no doubt A Failure of Civility is equally important. I'll add my two cents and recommend SurvivalBlog.com as a great source for these and more.
I really think a prep or survival type subfourm would be a great idea.
And I bought this as an ebook, its quite a good read.
As this was brought up during the Bag and Tag I thought I would wake up this dead thread.
I have the e-Book if someone wants to borrow it. I will not read it until to you return it. My hope is that it will encourage you to get the paper edition which is SHTF compliant.
Also, as eluded to by Jafar during the Bag and Tag. This book is not a worst case scenario. Most of this is preparation for a very bad day, but not entirely applicable if "thems" are at war with not-thems.
