I'm not a prepper, but I often read books like this because they usually talk about gardening and canning and preserving the harvest, topics that greatly interest me.

This book does cover a wide variety of subjects, including a long list of needed tools or survival skills, many of which I already possess to varying degrees (animal care, sewing, weaving, making my own clothes, knitting, gardening, saving seeds, canning, preserving, deydrating, etc etc etc.)

There are many areas where the information is repeated over and over again. I think the author is doing this to make a point, but since I'm not in kindergarden, I didn't feel it needed to be repeated so often. The author tends to go off on a tangent, and then get back to his original point (which he then restates for you, to get back on subject). There are typos and spelling errors, which could have been caught with a decent editor. I did like the author's writing style, which was like talking to a friend over a cup of tea about the subject matter.

I picked up this book when it was listed for free on amazon.
