This is a pretty good manual that covers an awful lot of the various areas for prepping. The author has definitely earned this knowledge in a unique way - he's lived and survived through the economic collapse of Argentina in 2001. He's definitely blunt with some of his statements and stories and often uses choice (i.e. swear) words - but if you and I lived through what he's lived through and crime was rampant and living conditions were as bad - I'm not sure you and I wouldn't react very similarly. You can definitely tell English is the author's second language and at times the book reads unevenly. The author claims that book publishers weren't interested in his book so he's self-published this. It's a shame - with some help with the editing and organizing this book would be alot more accessible to people. As it is - there are some great first hand tid bits and knowledge here that I have never read anywhere else. I found his chapter on bartering and gold / silver very enlightening particularly.From Amazon.com:
My book is a Modern Survival Manual based on first hand experience of the 2001 Economic Collapse in Argentina. In it you will find a variety of subjects that I consider essential if a person wants to be prepared for tougher times: -How to prepare your family, yourself, your home and your vehicle -How to prepare your finances so that you don't suffer what millions in my country went through -How to prepare your supplies for food shortages and power failures -How to correctly fight with a chair, gun, knife, pen or choke with your bare hands if required -Most important, how to reach a good awareness level so that you can avoid having to do all that These are just a few examples of what you will find in this book. It's about Attitude, and being a more capable person and get the politically correct wimp out of your system completely.
