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
<a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1599555107/ref=as_li_ss_il?ie=UTF8&tag=prepper-20&linkCode=as2&camp=217145&creative=399373&creativeASIN=1599555107"><img src="http://ws.assoc-amazon.com/widgets/q?_encoding=UTF8&Format=_SL160_&ASIN=1599555107&MarketPlace=US&ID=AsinImage&WS=1&tag=prepper-20&ServiceVersion=20070822" alt="" align="right" border="0" /></a><img style="border: none !important; margin: 0px !important;" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=&l=as2&o=1&a=1599555107&camp=217145&creative=399373" alt="" width="1" height="1" align="right" border="0" />Walking along the book aisle in Costco the other day, I came to a rather sudden stop as a specific books caught my eye. With a name like <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1599555107/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=prepper-20&linkCode=as2&camp=217145&creative=399373&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=&l=as2&o=1&a=1599555107&camp=217145&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).

Book Review: What's Wrong With My Plant?
<img class="alignright size-full wp-image-3507" title="whats-wrong-with-my-plant" src="/images/uploads/2011/02/whats-wrong-with-my-plant.jpg" alt="" width="250" height="304" />The other day I picked up a new gardening book from the hardware store. Its cover wasn't cluttered with photographs like so many other gardening and home improvement books; in fact, the only photo on the cover was of an obviously-distressed leaf. The rest of the cover was largely devoted to the full title of the book: <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0881929611?ie=UTF8&tag=prepper-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=0881929611">What's Wrong With My Plant? (And How Do I Fix It?): A Visual Guide to Easy Diagnosis and Organic Remedies</a>, by David Deardorff and Kathryn Wadsworth. This was actually the first thing that caught my eye. I don't like when books try to glam themselves up in an attempt to conceal the vapid content inside. This book looked like it was ready to get down to business, and so I picked it up and started leafing through it. It didn't take me long to decide to buy it.<!--more-->

Book Bomb - How To Survive The End Of The World As We Know It
This is a little reminder for those that might have already heard, or a great intro for those that haven't. James Wesley Rawles, Author of the renowned <a href="http://www.survivalblog.com/" target="_blank">survivalblog</a>, as well as the novel <a href="http://www.utahpreppers.com/2009/08/survival-book-review-patriots/">Patriots (which we reviewed here before)</a> has a new book coming out shortly. It's been available for pre-order for a little bit now, but everybody was requested to wait until today (9/25/09) to actually place pre-orders. This makes a big difference to companies such as amazon, which use the purchase velocity in their rankings.

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.

Book Review: The Zombie Survival Guide
Since we haven't had a humor post recently (and boy do I need one), I decided to do a little review of one of my favorite books.<img class="alignright size-full wp-image-1530" title="zsg-cover" src="/images/uploads/2009/03/zsg-cover.jpg" alt="zsg-cover" width="240" height="240" /> The Zombie Survival Guide, by Max Brooks. Now who among us hasn't felt some joy in responding to the question, "What are you prepping for" with a glib reply of "For the oncoming Zombie Invasion"? If you haven't ever used that response, you should try it sometime, and feel the joy.

Preparedness Bookshelves
<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.

Marine Cold Weather Medicine Course
The first in what will be many resources we hope to make available for download to you. The Marine Cold Weather Medicine Course manual seemed a natural fit to make available to people in the mountain west region right now. As we finally are starting to get our delayed Winter weather, it's important that we make sure our Winter preparations are also readied. Your car-kit needs to be reviewed, food rotated, clothing changed, etc. This manual gives a great number of insights as to what you should do.
