    I finished Secret Agent last week and haven't started another.(I'm hoping Santa has something good for me to read on Christmas day) so I'm saving myself, just in case.

    I finally got around to reading Horace Kephart's - Book of Camping and Woodcraft. If you haven't read it I humbly suggest that you do. Even though it was written over a hundred years ago the advice and guidance is timeless especially if for some reason the power goes out for a prolonged period.
    I also read "One Second After" which is about the aftermath of an EMP attack.
    And the last book I read straight through was "Alas Babylon" which even though it was written in 1959 tells of the aftermath of a Nuclear attack on America and how people coped.

    I appreciate that neither of the last two books are "Pink and fluffy" in their content but they do serve to make you think about exactly what survival would mean in these circumstances.

    I pray that we never have to do it for real.

    I read about everything I can get my hands on. Recently I've read a couple books by Buckshot Bruce, fictional novels about SHTF. I recently read Laughter On the Mountain, it's a book about a young man that stayed with Sylvan Hart in the mid 1970's.
    so the definition of a criminal is someone who breaks the law and you want me to believe that somehow more laws make less criminals?
