Looks really interesting. Is it American based though? I have a couple of books that annoy me because some of their info is irrelevant.

Yeah that's often a problem, with the forums as well as they have different (and dare I say more) issues than we do.
For example there's a huge emphasis on shelter and heating because in the northern hemisphere that's a big thing, whereas in a lot of Oz (up north that is) it's your last problem.
Still we have many of the same problems as well.

or you can pour some precious salt in them, and no I didn't mean precious sarcastically, salt will be worth it's weight in gold.

We need someone to write a book for Aussie conditions Funny thing, it will be bigger than a Bible, we have so many different conditions, not just seasonal but also decade long patterns... Be a good book tho, and typical au fashion, will have a lot of info about beer and won't be focused around fear... As whatever happens happens, put your big person panties on and get to it (hey I just wrote the prologue ) |

Would be easier to do a book for each state, allot of information would overlap though.
That book looks interesting Ausprep, i'll have to give it a read.

As my dad used to say: Take what you need, throw away what is irrelevant.

Theres so many of these books nowadays, when you read one like that, the whole "broad spectrum survivalist" books, you feel like you have read them all. I think half the authors of books like that copy and paste internet info. Just my opinion.
