Review
“The preppers' bible.”—Jim Forsyth, The Chicago Tribune “Civilization is still standing now, but that does not mean it always will… We'd better know what to do in the event of a deadly viral pandemic, major asteroid strike, unprecedented hyperinflationary (or deflationary) economic depression, third World War, or any other global disaster, Rawles argues. He spells out all the hazards that we might face in a post-disaster society: looting, armed violence, food shortages, etc. Then he lays out steps we can take now, such as taking survival- training courses, designing shelters, and stocking them with necessary supplies. He even offers a chapter on disaster-proof financial security: savvy investments to make now, earning income in the midst of a major recession, and bartering in the wake of a true disaster.”—The Futurist

The title of this book intrigued me, and by pages six and seven I knew the author and I were on the same page (figuratively speaking). His description of the "thin veneer of civilization" as an onion that becomes more smelly as each layer of skin is peeled away is perfect. I've used that description myself many times, before and since reading his book. When the SHTF not only does infrastructure and authority unravel, so do people. And that's what we all must keep in mind when we consider survival and emergency preparedness. It's not just about having canned food and drinkable water on hand for an emergency, it's about what to do if you need to take your canned food & water and relocate (bug out), what to do if you run out of food & water, and what to do if someone tries to take your food & water, what to do if the need for food and water is not your only worry (and chances are it won't be). We must all keep in mind that what we saw in the aftermath of Katrina in the U.S. and the earthquake in Haiti is just the tip of the iceberg in comparison to what can happen.I'm not what most might call a "dooms-dayer" or survivalist. I simply believe in being fully prepared for the absolute worst. Well, as prepared as you can be given your resources, finances, and the area you live in. To me being prepared only for what you think 'might' happen is just not enough. To me, true emergency preparedness is being prepared for anything that can realistically happen. And that's what this book is about; emergency preparedness, no matter what your reason. In reality, there's no such thing as being too prepared.By page nineteen you realize Rawles is not only a true survivalist who believes TEOTWAWKI (The End Of The World As We Know It) is coming, but that he also is not the stereotypical survivalist, as they're often portrayed by the media. Meaning, he does not come off as a selfish, dangerous, irrational, or irresponsible person who's waiting for the sky to fall or who wants to board himself inside a cabin in the woods and wage war on the government. For Rawles it's not all about hoarding food, buying guns, and killing anyone who dares set foot on his land. He simply believes in being fully prepared for the worst you can imagine, the worst that can realistically happen, whether that be a major terrorist attack, a tsunami, strong earthquakes, a rash of tornados, rolling blackouts that lasts for weeks (or even months), and anything in between. And one of the things I like about his book is the fact that he makes it clear, without trying to invoke hysterics, that just about anything can happen, and he wants to help you be prepared. After reading this book the average citizen should realize we are all extremely vulnerable to so many possibilities, and we all need to be prepared.Rawles gives enough info for the average person to understand the basics of rural, suburban, and city survival, plus a little more. I've read several books that claim to do the same (prepare you for the basics of surviving on your own) but so far I find Rawles book does it better than others. That does not mean this book is the only book you'll need, because there are some specific things you need to learn that are not included in his book (basic first aid is one example). But he does give you enough information to know what more you need to educate yourself about. He makes you think. He makes you use your brain, makes you wonder, makes you consider the possibilities, and gives you ideas of what you can do to prepare, of what you need to do for your personal situation. And I can't say this enough times - this is something we all must do; be prepared for all of the possibilities.For the above reasons I believe his book is a must read and a must have for every individual and family library. Every head of household and adult child should read it. Families should discuss it (filter scary words like "end of the world" for young children) and the possibilities. How To Survive The End Of The World As We Know It is, in my opinion, the best survival primer guide for the average citizen. Buy this book, but also buy books and read articles specific to how to perform first aid, even take classes. Buy this book, but also get more details about food storage, self defense, short term emergency survival, and long term self sufficient living.Lastly, I should also mention the second reason I like this book and books like it. I believe people should become more self-sufficient because being self-sufficient and self-reliant means you depend less on others, on government, on your paycheck. If done correctly and responsibly, being self-sufficient not only helps you in an emergency situation, but it also helps you economically. And in these hard times that's something 99% of us need. I feel any survival guide or emergency preparedness guide can give you ideas that will help you save money too. Two examples of this are knowing how to grow your own food and the use of solar energy. Both are ways to help you survive in an emergency as well as ways to save money in daily living.
Though I saw this book years ago at a gun show, I just recently bought a copy. It had some decent information, but a very different mindset from stuff like Michael Bunker’s book Surviving Off Off-Grid.To sum it up, James Wesley, Rawles wrote a 300 page book aimed at relatively financially well-off urban and suburban people. He basically admits this toward the end of the book, stating that most people will not be able to live at their retreat because they cannot (or will not?) leave their nice paying suburban jobs.If one is already living in the country and gardening and cutting firewood, and maybe even has lived in the country their entire lives (as I have), then this book will be of very little value. The gun information in this book is decent, but if one is already a gun enthusiast they will already know much more than is briefly taught in this book.There is some good info in Rawles’ book, such as how to purify water. Gardening is barely addressed, except for advice on growing wheat and other grains. But the overall mindset of this book is buy, buy, buy. Do not produce your own goods for life and stockpiling, just buy industrial goods with your fiat money! Buy foods, buy several years worth of medicine, buy three pairs of eyeglasses, buy nightvision equipment, buy multiple vehicles powered by different fuels, buy a caterpillar dozer if you can. Seriously. Buy, and then buy some more.This book is of no real value to working class people in rural areas and small towns. This book is for wealthy suburbanites who are willing to risk everything by staying at their corporate jobs as long as they can, before hopefully exiting post-collapse to live a country life that they are unaccustomed to, beside neighbors that they do not even know. Bad idea.This book tells you to do everything, ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING, except to right now began a transition back to a sustainable agrarian lifestyle like our ancestors lived. Yes, there is a crash coming someday. No, urban prepping is not the answer.
I absolutely love this book. It is informative, insightful and packed with good practical advice on how to survive long-term in a crisis situation. Everyone even remotely interested in being prepared for disaster/grid-down situations should read this book if for no other reason than to have your eyes opened to the enormity of what it would actually take to survive.However.... The overall strategy outlined in this book is far out of the reach of the typical American citizen. Even if you live in rural America, to plan and prepare as thoroughly as Mr. Rawles suggests, would cost around $500k, (not including the actual cost of the land itself), and essentially requires that preparing for said disaster become your full time occupation. Therefore, as good as the information is, it's not really practical for the majority of us which, in then, will only leave you feeling overwhelmed and depressed.
