just started reading "Patriots" by James Wesley Rawles.

Patriots is a good read but I felt the second half strayed more into politics and religion. Still got some good ideas we can use in the uk in terms of being prepared although the group in it had a hollywood blockbuster budget to get their preps with.
Just finished the sequel to Last Light which is worth a look for a novel.

Definitely the two Cody Lundin books, and also I really like the Tom Brown's guide to prepping - or Urban survival. Link below.

I am still a fan of Lundin. However, I am reading a lot of books about the Home Front in WW2. At the moment I am reading 'Your garden in wartime' by C .H .Middleton. Another good one is 'Spuds, Spam and eating for victory' by Katherine Knight.
This Genre of books highlights the shortages and ways we got around them you have to bear in mind that rationing lasted for 14 years in total. I truly believe that we are drifting back to an era of austerity such as that experienced by our Grandparents. I also believe that that situation will become the new 'normal'.

I have the we'll eat again book by Marguerite Patten which gives good tips on cooking during rationing.

For a sensible UK perspective on general prepping, there's David E Crossley's 'Bugging In' and 'Bugging Out' The link is for the combined book http://www.amazon.co.uk/Bugging-In-Out- ... e+crossley

I'm also a really, really big fan of Amanda Ripley's 'The Unthinkable: Who Survives When Disaster Strikes - And Why' Again not a survival book per se, but a fascinating academic book about how human minds and bodies work when the s*it hits the fan, and why, therefore, some people survive and some people don't. The second edition has an appendix which succinctly bullet points the things you can do to improve your chances of surviving. http://www.amazon.co.uk/The-Unthinkable ... nthinkable
