Quick Skinning, Cleaning and Butchering a Deer

That's all fine and good for now, but what are we going to do if we have to hunt for survival and can't just drop the animal off at the butcher? I've done it myself before and I'm sure I could do it again without any real problems, but if you're hunting for survival the last thing you want to do is ruin your meat by doing something stupid!

Review: The Forgotten Skills of Self-Sufficiency Used by the Mormon Pioneers

With a name like <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1599555107/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=prepper-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=217145&amp;creative=399373&amp;creativeASIN=1599555107">The Forgotten Skills of Self-Sufficiency Used by the Mormon Pioneers</a><img style="border: none !important; margin: 0px !important;" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=&amp;l=as2&amp;o=1&amp;a=1599555107&amp;camp=217145&amp;creative=399373" alt="" width="1" height="1" border="0" />, can you blame me?  This was obviously a book stocked for a local audience, so I hope our non-Utah readers can find a copy.  Author <a title="Caleb Warnock's blog" href="http://calebwarnock.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Caleb Warnock</a> is a local (Alpine, Utah) writer, year-round gardener, and teacher of "Forgotten Skills" classes.  It also helped when I noticed one of the people listed in the special thanks section is a friend of mine, and <a title="Eric James Stone" href="http://www.ericjamesstone.com/" target="_blank">local sci-fi author</a> (how's that for a tight-knit Utah Valley).

Survival Book Review: One Second After

I've just finished reading One Second After by William R. Forstchen - I received it two days ago - I couldn't put it down. This is an excellent book that I fully recommend every Survivalist/Prepper/Anyone Else read. Seriously, this book is one of those that will help to open people's eyes to just how fragile we are and just how stinkin' hard it is going to be to survive TEOTWAWKI.

Book Review: The Raft by Robert Trumbull

Book Review: The Raft by Robert Trumbull

The plane sunk from below their feet into the depths of the deep blue abyss. Three naval airmen now find themselves floating alone in endless waves and ocean expanse. This is a gripping true story of their grueling adventure adrift at sea for 34 days in a rubber raft not much bigger than a bathtub.

<img class="alignright" src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/5124BUpG-qL._SL500_AA240_.jpg" alt="" width="240" height="240" />I'm not saying I have the Ultimate Book Collection or even that I have a complete collection of Prepper books, but I do have a decent collection of books on preparedness and Pioneer/Primitive Living (see the photo of my bookshelf) and I've read most of them cover to cover. I'm constantly on the lookout for good prep books and buy one or two a month to read. I love getting referrals to good books - whether they're instructional, reference or fictional (prep based novels) I like having other people tell me what they thought was good/fun/valuable.
