Quick read. Covers big themes. Would be great for reluctant readers or those just wanting a refresher/reminder. Enjoyed the last chapter. That’s not always included in these types of books. I got several ideas.
Lots to think about. Having read this book I see that you have to be very prepared in all aspects of your life or extremely lucky to survive. I think in most cases it’s good to be prepared. Thank you.
Surviving an Urban Disaster: Quick-Start Guide By Richard Duarte
I enjoyed reading Surviving Doomsday by Richard Duarte and so, when I got the chance to review a copy of Surviving an Urban Disaster, I readily agreed. The book correctly states that preparedness is a lifestyle. Like me, many people who discover this book will have been prepping for years, but as the subtitle tells you, this book is a quick-start guide, not a comprehensive manual. Surviving an Urban Disaster is the book you give to a friend who says, “I want to get more prepared, but how do I start.” The guide briefly covers the “Core Survival Elements,” water, food, first aid, personal security, hygiene and bug-in and bug-out. In the section on food the author provides a list of food items to stock up on and lists the calories, protein and carbohydrates. While Duarte does not go in-depth, shelf-life and storage conditions are discussed. Each of the core survival elements has a chapter devoted to it with examples and suggested items. Even though this book is not aimed at me I did enjoy reading it, and still learned things. The strength of this guide is in the lists it provides. Even if you have a bug-out bag it is interesting to see what others recommend be included. In addition to covering emergency supplies for the car, Duarte includes a chapter titled, “Getting Home (Bugging Back).” In this section Duarte discusses keeping some essential supplies in a nondescript bag at work. An excellent idea, and he suggests items to include. This book is true to its subtitle, it is a quick-start guide. If you, or someone you know, needs an introduction to prepping or lists to start or add to prep bags, I recommend, Surviving an Urban Disaster.
Es un libro repetitivo, te dice lo mismo en varias páginas. Te explica lo que muchos sabemos, no hay ciencia. Pensé que había historias con ejemplos donde se puso en práctica una supervivencia.
