    I've recently finished reading "The Unthinkable: Who Survives When Disaster Strikes and Why" by Amanda Ripley and I am wondering if there are any other books that would be worth reading on the subject of training yourself to combat the effects of immobility and brain fog during an extreme situation.

    I've searched for books written by specwar members about combating brain fog but haven't really located any.

    I am mainly looking for exercises and training regimes to help my mind stay lucid during an attack or extreme situation. Recently after finding a few suggestions online, I've taught myself to juggle, and learned an additional language, all of which have been proven to help the brain remain cognitive under stress.

    Any other suggestions?

    I don't think it's exactly what you are looking for, but have you read Pete Blaber's "The Mission, The Men, and Me?"

    I ran across it a few times online but never really gave it any thought, I'll see about getting it

    "Disaster Readiness 101"

    I have attached a brief document that I compiled 2 years ago when I started Prepping and have just updated. As the title suggests, it is an introduction to Prepping for those who have not yet realized the need to prepare and for those who have just started.

    I was wondering if anyone could help me or point me in the correct direction. I found a pdf listed with illnesses and the vitamins, minerals/herbs to help combat them from the compiled list. But i was hoping to find maybe a book that has maybe state/region of US break downs of the local plants and their medicinal values with potenial pictures of these plants.

    If anyone knows of a book/guide that could help it would be greatly appreciated.

Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen"

    -Samuel Adams, 1776
