I own a dozen bug-out or bug-in guides, and they are all useful and contain a ton of information about various aspects of preparation and survival...but this is the first book I've read that covers EVERYTHING. It's well-written, easy to follow, and gives specific directions and information to accomplish specific things. Foods to stockpile...simple, healthy, budget-conscious meal ideas with ingredients and instructions...water storage and purification...home security...alarms...traps...firearms...generators...EMP protection ...communication...medication...outwitting those who might take your supplies...it's all here. And there's a lot of obscure knowledge too...this was the first time I'd heard that dead batteries aren't really fully drained and you can string some together to produce a little more power. Outstanding.

The pictures are great, there are lists right away of food and things to stockpile. There are recipes and instructions so easy to follow. And it’s not a violent book of how to stock pile weapons and fool the govt. it’s rational reasonable things to do if martial law is declared, if the electricity goes out for long periods of time, what to do about neighbors and keeping boundaries, how to keep your cool if things go haywire for a while in earthquake and storms as well. Common sense things I hadn’t considered.

The Navy Seals Bug-In Guide is an incredibly cool and informative resource. I've been flipping through its pages and am impressed by the wealth of ideas it offers. The step-by-step instructions are clear, concise, and well-written, making it easy to understand and execute the projects. From survival strategies to practical tips for bugging in, this guide is packed with knowledge that feels both useful and empowering. I can’t wait to dive into some of these projects and put them to the test. If you're interested in preparedness or just want to learn some awesome survival skills, this guide is an excellent addition to your library

Good information, arrived ahead of expected time, packed and shrink wrapped. Would buy again.

I believe this is an incredibly resourceful tool with valuable information I've not seen in other books claiming to be of the same nature. In fact, I purchased purchased 3 books on here about similar topics and this is the ONLY one I'll be keeping. While others were incredibly vague and basic, this author knows things and shares many aspects of the topics provided. While I do think he could have done a little better job with the organization of topics, I truly cannot complain about the information given here. And in case he sees this, I'm referring to all foods related topics not being together, and all water related topics not being together. That may just be my own personal preference. Aside from that, I was really impressed with how much I already knew, and how much I didn't, lol. You know, while writing this, I just realized there wasn't anything showing how to filter water with sand, charcoal, rock, grass, and fabric. Hmm.. interesting note and now I'll go add that in there myself, lol. Anyway - I took a handful of photos from the book just to show some of the things discussed. From security in and out of the house, to food storage in and out of the house, to building a greenhouse or a water well, there's a great deal of information. This will be a keeper for many people. I'm glad I ordered this. It was worth the extra $ and the extra time for shipping. Thank you for the tips and information, Joel.

VERY thorough and well thought out. My only problem is that I'd need a second house to hold all the stuff that is recommended for prepping. But I'd be ready! ;-)

Arrived ahead of schedule, was in great shape and exactly as described. Such an informative book, with suggestions and photos on good, quality paper. Worth the price.

Lots of subjects, well written, easy to understand.
