Survive!: My Fight for Life in the High Sierras
$17.95
When I began reading the book I was impressed with the Author's writing style. It didn't take long before I felt disbelief and utter disappointment as I continued to read. After a while, I read for the pure entertainment value (how much it made me laugh from the sheer ridiculousness of his account of what happened). I could not believe that Mr. DeLeo could possibly remember every single thought, detail and emotion he experienced throughout this ordeal, not to mention every thought and emotion his sister experienced while Peter was missing. It also bothered me how he glossed over the mistakes he made which cost the unfortunate souls on board the plane with him their lives.

I feel he exaggerated much of what happened in an attempt to downplay the the mistakes he made. I was disturbed by how much he built himself up and painted such a heroic portrait of himself. After a while I was just embarrassed to read any more. I made it through 8 chapters then had to skip to the end to find out if there were any other survivors. Truly disappointed.

When All Hell Breaks Loose: Stuff You Need To Survive When Disaster Strikes
$19.99
I grew up in a preparedness atmosphere, have tried my whole life to prepare for unforeseen circumstances, and have been involved with the Boy Scouts of America (motto: Be Prepared!)for 30 years. I have been taught things that don't work, things that are too complicated, and things that do not make a return on the effort. Many times, I have witnessed things go bad, and then the natural reactions dictated by human nature. My intention with this review is to highlight the strengths of the book. I own many food storage, survival, home skill, and disaster preparedness books. This one by far is my favorite. I found it to be very readable, entertaining, and informative. Mr. Lundin seems to be a lot further than I down the road of preparing in a simple manner. His wealth of experience certainly reinforces the lessons of my limited experience.
His books have helped me think through situations, how I would prepare for them,
and mitigate the problems. His list of great, multi-use stuff is worth the price of the book alone. I found that I had already purchased many of these things, so I gathered them in one place, and added what I was lacking. In short, it not only has the information, but it motivated me to act, to prepare. I purchased an extra copy to give away. I read the entire book, cover to cover, and enjoyed it. When was the last time that was possible with this kind of book?

Conquer the Crash: You Can Survive and Prosper in a Deflationary Depression
$29.95
i've had this book almost since it came out more than six years ago and i picked it up again to refresh my memory on what the raving Prechter got right a few years too early. he does admit he can and will be wrong at times and i think that other readers should take this warning seriously. check out some other reviews here from people that have been following him for much longer and you will get the idea.

what it does offer is good insight into deflation risks, hollow fiat currencies and how central banks handle monetary policy to avoid disasters. in that respect, its almost like a playbook for the credit/real estate crunch that started in the US and spread to much of the world.
