"Literally the best prepper medical guide I have found yet Well
done No nonsense and no beating around the bush. I feel as if I
have learned something." - Steven Trumbo (Emmaus, PA) Whether
you're buying items to build a comprehensive medical kit, or have
found yourself in a disaster without one, this book will teach you
exactly what you need to do. Written by a Trauma Surgeon, The
Prepper Pages describes the most practical and effective treatments
for injuries and illnesses encountered within the chaos of
disasters. It is not a book about how to stabilize injuries until
help arrives. It's a book about how to treat conditions
definitively, assuming that help will never arrive. "Full of truly
useful information on where to get and, even better, how to use
items in your emergency medical kit. This is one book that is
definitely a must have " - Shar

It is said that 'Survival is an Art'. This book: "Get Prepped" by
Jacob Nelson takes that art, frames it, and hangs it where anyone
can view it and understand it. With the many world changes that
seem to frequently occur, both natural and political, the need for
an updated survival book is real. In this book you will find useful
information on how to build not only a 72-hour kit, but the
accompanying survival kit or bug-out bag. This book also includes
the ingredients to make your own Thieves' oil. When it comes to
preparation and ultimate survival, there is no other book that
covers it as well as Get Prepped

We live in a world where so many things could go wrong and have. We
have a dysfunctional government, national skyrocketing debt which
one day our lenders will demand payment, and home grown as well as
external terrorism. On top of all that, there is the increasing
risk of natural disasters like tornados, floods, wildfires,
earthquakes, and more. I am not off my nut. I just like to be
prepared and I absolutely will make sure that I will be taking care
of my family. We are normal, everyday folks who like going to the
movies, go out to eat, we love the internet, and more. There is a
lot to be said for creature comforts and we really enjoy them, but
if they were gone tomorrow, we would survive. It may not be peaches
and cream, but we would survive. One thing I do feel strongly about
is that something in our society is bound to break and break hard.
We cannot continue down this same path as a world or nation for
that matter and not believe that something has to give. It could be
a number of things too. The people and countries our nation is in
debt to may want their money back before we can pay the bill. Our
fragile economy could collapse which quite frankly would take down
most of the rest of the world economies along with ours. It could
be a natural disaster that impacts a large area in which we live.
And perhaps, it might just be the desire for one nation or group of
extremists that want to see if they have the moxie to take down the
United States. I hope you enjoy reading this work as much as I
enjoyed putting it together Happy Prepping
This book is the sixth in a series of books written by Jake
Bussolini. It is the last in his series of books that blend the
science of fishing with the sport of fishing. This book is directed
at the experienced angler and covers a broad range of subjects that
the author feels he has not thoroughly covered in his previous
books. The first half of this book covers some of the more complex
questions about fish health, growth, population and nutrition. Then
the subject of Sonar image interpretations are re-visited, going
deep into the understanding of what screen images really mean. The
author also covers less complicated subjects like the strike zone,
using sound to catch fish, selecting the right bait or lure
including a look at the author's ten favorite lures. The second
half of the book describes several of the fishing experiences of
the author including lessons learned from these experiences. The
book ends with some brief coverage of filleting your fish, stepping
up your equipment and a broad description of the responsibilities
of every experienced angler.

"The Bushcraft Handbooks" were first published in Australia in
1952. Based on the Author's wartime service in Australia and New
Guinea teaching "Junglecraft" to Australian and American forces,
they are distilled, concentrated old-time bushcraft knowledge,
presented in a very easy to assimilate format. For those who
remember them, the Bushcraft Handbooks are also a heavy hit of
nostalgia. Rather than publish all of the volumes under the one
cover, the Author originally chose to publish each aspect of
bushcraft in its own individual handbook. His rationale was that
the reader was more inclined to take a 40 page handbook with him
into the wilds than a 400 page book. The former can be easily
slipped into a pocket or daypack, while the latter cannot. The
Bushcraft Handbooks are useless unless the reader practices the
skills the books were designed to impart. The individual handbooks
format was chosen to support that end. Out of print for decades,
and in keeping with the Author's wishes, this series of Bushcraft
Handbooks are reproduced as close to their original format as
possible. The series comprises the following volumes: Bush
Ropemaking, Bush Hutmaking, Traps & Snares, Bush Campcraft,
Time & Direction, Travel & Gear, Food & Water in the
Bush, Firemaking & Lighting, Trapping & Tracks, Knots &
Lashings. From the introduction to "The signs animals leave on the
ground can be more revealing than any book written by man, but
unfortunately few people are able to see these signs and fewer
still can read them. To understand something of the behaviour of
animals one must realise that the development of their senses is
markedly different to mankind's, and therefore where we obtain
information through our eyes and ears, one animal may obtain the
same information through its sense of smell and another through its
ability to detect temperature changes, or through vibrations. Where
man communicates with man through speech, some forms of animal life
communicate through telepathy. You see this in a flock of pigeons
which turn in flight as one bird. This handbook broadly deals with
some of these special characteristics explaining how knowledge of
the 'sensitivity' of the creature is useful," and how the animal's
tracks provide a reliable indicator to its habits. The whole area
covered in this book, if practised, leads to a remarkable
development of one's powers of observation and deduction."

Bush, Firemaking & Lighting, Trapping & Tracks, Knots &
Lashings. From the introduction to "Time & Direction" "The
measurement of time, and the obtaining of accurate direction (from
North) are not primitive skills. Of the two, direction is the more
recent development, although to the Polynesians it is older than
their awarness of time. Obtaining time and direction without
equipment is practical, and in general can be more accurate than
the average person's watch or compass. Both words, "time" and
"direction," are inter-related because if one has accurate time,
accurate direction is obtained in a matter of seconds, or if one
has accurate direction (from north) then accurate time is
immediately practical without a watch. The methods given in this
book have been proved in jungle and desert and are applicable
anywhere on the earth's surface. The subject of navigation has been
surrounded by many technical words, necessary to the science, but
in this work the author has attempted to simplify the whole
subject, and endeavoured to avoid words which would have no meaning
to the average reader."
If you love old .22 rifles (and who doesn't?), and would like to
know more about them, this book is a must-have. It is the only book
of its kind, covering 20 classic and vintage rifles from five
different manufacturers. The rifles covered are among the most-used
and best-loved rifles of all time. In these pages you will find a
wealth of information about each rifle and each manufacturer
including: history and development, physical measurements and
handling characteristics, accuracy testing, and current value.
Plus, there are chapters on finding your own classic rifle, hunting
with the .22, improving accuracy, and proper care and maintenance,
and much more. So, if you'd like to know more about that old .22
that you've inherited or you need some good information to help you
find your own, this is the book for you.

A 676 page quality reprint of the U.S. Army's Survival Guide. It
covers virtually all scenarios and the methods required to survive
them. A must read for military, and also civilians, who may find
themselves at-risk out in the elements in any part of the world.
Preface: As a soldier, you can be sent to any area of the world. It
may be in a temperate, tropical, arctic, or subarctic region. You
expect to have all your personal equipment and your unit members
with you wherever you go. However, there is no guarantee it will be
so. You could find yourself alone in a remote area- possibly enemy
territory-with little or no personal gear. This manual provides
information and describes basic techniques that will enable you to
survive and return alive should you find yourself in such a
situation. If you are a trainer, use this information as a base on
which to build survival training. You know the areas to which your
unit is likely to deploy, the means by which it will travel, and
the territory through which it will travel. Read what this manual
says about survival in those particular areas and find out all you
can about those areas. Read other books on survival. Develop a
survival-training program that will enable your unit members to
meet any survival situation they may face. It can make the
difference between life and death. The proponent of this

ability to pick up a couple of dead sticks from the ground, and
with a sharp knife and a little know-how produce a practical and
workable release for a snare or trap is a valuable exercise in
improvisation and inventiveness. As far as is known this the first
time a collection of improvised releases and with this snares and
traps has ever been published. Some of these are potential
man-killers, developed by soldiers in jungle warfare to protect
themselves. The knowledge of these possible man-killers must be
treated with as much respect as a loaded firearm. They are included
because they could be lifesavers for man stranded in hostile
country."
