Travis McGee :" If you purchase the CDM, I strongly suggest that you read it now, from front to back. Don’t wait, because it will take some time to get an NPP up and running.
The two volumes of the CDM blend hard data and information, contributions by subject-matter experts, short fiction and non-fiction survival vignettes,
and Jack Lawson’s own African combat experiences and survival philosophy.
In this review, I have only touched on a few key concepts found in this truly encyclopedic work.
After you have read and digested the complete Civil Defense Manual, you will be miles ahead of the “herd” in the coming survival derby.
You will not only learn how to protect your own home, but how to defend your entire neighborhood by pooling all of its combined talents and resources for the common defense through “strength in numbers.”
By doing so, you will be maintaining vital pockets of civil society amidst a roiling sea of violence and barbarism. "
Enough said !

*PREPPER BUMP*Thanks for the ping.
Two things: Always save a bullet for yourself and, thanks for the reminder; I want to buy Beau a nice set of Walkie Talkies for Christmas.
We keep saying we're going to get them, because out here we have terrible cell reception (though we can SEE the tower from our farm!) If he dumped the tractor or got the skid steer stuck, he can't even call me from our own property for help!
Now how 'prepared' is that? Not very! ;)
I am looking at a highly-rated pair from Cobra, rechargeable, water and dust proof, 38 mile range, which would be plenty. About $70 with tax and charger dock. Any other Walkie Talkie suggestions/brands would be appreciated!
