After reading both the initial and second version of this book a couple of times I still want to read it again. Mr Rawles has written a book that is both intriguing and informative. The plot keeps the reader entertained throughout the whole story, even while you are being given a list of things the fictional characters have stored. My advice, read the book and learn from it. Rawles has been around the block with his blog enough to know better, and the research done for the book is spot on.

The storyline follows a survival group with a retreat in central Idaho during a severe depression and then Civil War 2. The group led by the Grays are compromised of interesting characters who each bring something to the table. There are great scenes through out, that will keep you going strong. My personal favorite is the road trip to pick up the Laytons in Utah. The three survivalists are comfronted with formidable challenges and the way they handle them is great!

The way this group set up their retreat is a lesson to be learned by anyone who is into survivalism, preparedness, homesteading and/or self sufficiency.

I recommend this book highly.
