Thank you for the post.
Every prepper needs to know how to be expedient. In our nuclear world, with power plants at risk, and the various weapons and devices out there, things could go sideways very quickly for a lot of reasons.
One of the very best references for how to survive a nuclear event with materials commonly available is the book by Cresson Kearny: “Nuclear War Survival Skills.” This MUST be in every prepper’s library.

While equipment to survive is minimal, it requires knowledge and skills. This book provides it. If you do not have a copy. Get one now. It is reasonably priced. I think someone told us on a previous thread some time ago that it can even be downloaded free. That may or may not still be the case.

Joel Skousen has a book written with information and ratings about our country’s states with respect to safety, and gives a lot of knowledge about how to choose a place to go if you are wishing to relocate. He has also written about house construction for your relocation in another book. Both books can be reviewed here:

I for one AVOID anything to do with people like alex jones or others who are pushing any sort of an agenda/s. I have met mr. jones & found him to be a hate filled little man with a very large “little man” syndrome. He finds issue with everything that does not have his name connected with it. I also have the same type of issue with mr. eib him self...rush..
There are a lot of very worth while books out there that are filled with very useful info without the political preaching. I have in my personal reference library, military operations manuals, books on blacksmithing, air gunning, fishing tips, hunting tips, gardening info, electrical building manuals,medical treatment books ect....[Due to all my head injuries, I have forgotten a lot of information, so I keep a large library at my fingertips, to fall back on when I need them.]
But this is just my personal position on such people.
Made a note of these books. As long as you live 25 miles away from the epicenter, there are things to do that can increase your chances of survival from a nuclear event.
We had a history teacher in the 8th grade that taught civil defense classes, so he spent a couple of days teaching about the issue. Can’t remember much of what he said. He demonstrated the use of a Geiger counter, and that with proper technique, a banana could be peeled and eaten safely even if exposed to radiation.
Hubby taught a civil defense class when we were first married back in the 60s. I did read a lot of the stuff then. Forgotten quite a bit. Did do some on-line reading recently and read the SAS survival handbook. Dug out some plans for turning a basement corner into fall out shelter.
We actually had planned to put one in the basement corner, but didn’t have the money to do it when building. Figured to do it later. Priorities changed. I’m putting the books on my wish list. Hope to get some more reading done later this summer. Have some radiation patches, iodide tablets, and a few other things. Doubtful that they are needed where we live though.
Thanks for posting the books.
