Suggested Reading?

[Mtneer]

Are you looking for a (plausible) fiction novel or a prepping guidebook?

A little of both I guess. My wife and I have already gone through two disasters (fire and flood), so I have a tangible feel for when things go bad. But would like to know more about when things go very bad, plausibly. Seems like a lot of the prepper reading material is for far-fetched "Red Dawn" stuff.

I think the reason for this is the majority of people aren't going to sit through a 300 page technical manual. The authors do want to entertain, but they also want to drive things home in a contextual fashion as well, to show the thought process behind things which people might face.

A lot of principles are the same, whether it be the far fetched or the mundane.
