In reading this book, I love the way that each chapter begins with the concept that the reader is currently dealing with a long term situation that coincides with the theme of the chapter. The Prepper's Long-Term Survival Guide by Jim Cobb is a book that I greatly anticipated reading. Or go the extra mile and head out to a hand-built homestead to grow squash, raise chickens, and maybe work on that manifesto. This book will help with all the basics of how to outlive ill-prepared neighbors. Humans can go a long time without food, especially if carrying around an emergency supply of adipose (That's what it's for!). Losing access to clean, drinkable water is the biggest mortal threat people face after disasters like earthquake, flood, or the loss of the electric grid. My rational mind categorizes this knowledge the same as insurance, better to have it and not need it rather than need it and not have it. It tickles the hominid part of my brain that worries about future famine and the safety of family and friends. But, nothing fires up the temperature of my cerebrum like the idea of prepping for a world without rule of law.
I wouldn't call myself a prepper, more like prepper-curious. End of the world survival porn is apparently one of my kinks.
