I have not read it yet. I am a big fan of Rawles, but I plan on getting OSA and Rawles’ new TEOTWAWKI book soon. Maybe my Birthday present?
It’s opened up the eyes of my Grandmother and Mother both rethinking about what is necessary for survival and the importance of being able to defend one self and family from many attackers. I haven’t had the chance to read if yet once I figure once I pick it up I won’t be able to stop as thats what happened with my Mother and Grandmother when they read it.
The book obviously is reality based and clearly is realistic to convince skeptical fence sitters about potential SHTF scenarios.
Made me think about some of the uglier aspects of post SHTF that i would rather have not thought about.
Made me realize Society and Civility are just illusions created by everyday needs being met by any all merchndizers within walking or driving distance, and if people get desperate enough they will do anything for mere reminders of what used to be or somethign they need that you have.
Made me want to get more ammo as may have to “Dirt Nap” more former friends and neighbors than i thought if SHTF. Not by choice but by neccesity.
I will lose my parents as they are on heart meds that can’t be stockpiled without prescriptions etc.I will also lose two of my nieces that are severe asthmatics.
BTW, as for the Holographic sights being fried…
Thats why my Ar’s both have the A1 and A2 iron sights and are not flatops dependent on such high tech gizmos. I though about SHTF, and lack of batteries and if they get broke etc. and just stayed with the old Iron sights with a holograpic on a drop mou8nt from the carry handles co-witnessed to the irons.
I can alwasy take a dead or broke holo sight off and still have my original irons.
I can see your point, but I just can’t give up the advantages an Aimpoint gives. However, I do have a Troy BUIS, and an A2 carry handle and next will add a LMT fixed BUIS. I want to keep my Aimpoints but also have something to fall back on.
Good chances that something as small as a EOtech or Aimpoint will not be affected by any sort of EMP. You can also get non electronic sights and it definitely makes something like an ACOG.
Won’t a Faraday Cage/Room defeat EMP?
It was a great book and well written.
Now I’m reading the book titled Last Light. Set in England by a British author. Good read so far, I’m about half way through it.
Another good book is The Collapse by Jeff Stanfield. Published byauthorhouse. ISBN 1-4259-1455-1
I was wondering the same exact thing.
Just finished reading it while on vacation this past week. Great book IMHO, but not something I should have been reading on a sunny beach in the Dominican Republic lol. Parts of it were a bit tough to swallow, but all plausable in the situation the book was set in.
Makes me really sad to think we could all be reduced to such things. Also makes me hope it never happens because right now, there is no way anyone I know would be prepared for it.
i wanna read this any one wanna lend a copy?
