tinhatranch.com/category/saturday-survival-serial/Its a good "fantasy" story for anyone into prepping, this is worse case, but focused around group type living, few little things "I wouldn't do" but overall very well done Note: at this point week 18 Any points made in the story anyone wants to discuss this is the place

I just read the first week... I don't like the style of writing, but I'm interested in seeing where they're going with it.

Week 6 or 7 had me hooked, its hard to write a story I would read this long (I only got half way through rainbow 6)
But SR there is lots of good info for us types but there is a massive gap between the last 2 weeks

Took a couple of hours with a dinner break, just finished #19. Good yarn, yes the writing style is a bit suss, Jimmy this, Jimmy that, Jimmy something else. Just about every sentence starts with "Jimmy". At least for the first few chapters, it gets less I think, either that or I just got used to it And apart from the general style it needs a good proof read. I can't remember now if it was explained, but how does an ex-mil prepper wind up with just a shotgun? |

He left his ar15 when he stole the plane and it concerns me too, looks like a noob prepper with a inherited bol with the min of supplies been "nice" in letting in a lot of strangers, shooting the junky is prob the biggest think that makes sence |

Ah ok, I'd forgotten. Why the heck would you leave an AR behind? Must have been a really small plane Yep, just the right amount of "give him the benefit of the doubt for a minute because we don't know the story yet". |

There are so few stories like that of any quality (as soon as there is a indepth description of a particular firearm I get overly frustrated with it (many noob stories spend way too much time describing a AR15, or its always a EMP and always assume all modern tech is dead...) Since its around a lot more than those two things, it has my interest
The love story is needed (looking at it a single ex marine bloke living in his little bol by himself, sounds just self centred and suicidal)
The mini towns building at the 3 major bols is just insane, I like the introduction of "the bad guy" a complete opposite to jimmy and the cap,
There are things if i had a remote bol, (even in oz) i would have a lot more set up than some food scraps and a 12guage and all kinds of defense plans in place, and if i decided to run my "large" group, there will be permant OPs and defences at all access points, designed to defend the area against the "expected" looters (the nail is when he shoots the druggy after the big fight, or dose he live in a fantacy, then the fire dream... Fire can be used as a defensive weapon, just need to know how to play with it)
