Good: There are many good tips and tricks that are worthwhile to know and even Amazon urls so that you can buy the equipment mentioned in the book. The chapters are short enough so that if you only have a few minutes to read, you can knock out a chapter or two quickly.
Bad: The book is extremely repetitive and could have been a whole lot shorter than it's 520 pages. When I say repetitive, I'm not just talking about covering some of the same information in different chapters, which happens more than it should. I'm referring to the EXACT same wording from one chapter to another. For instance, the exact same information found at the end of page 139 through the first third of page 141 is copied WORD FOR WORD on pages 149-150! If that isn't bad enough, the paragraph breaks for the same information isn't even the same.
Ugly: There are quotation marks where there shouldn't be, missing words, and bad punctuation. If Jason Hanson is going to write another book (many of these chapters are written by other people), then he needs to invest in a good editor.

Mostly bullshit.

I ordered this book on impulse from a YouTube ad.... which should have been the first warning.
The book had some useful information. However, I was put off by the lacklustre book design. It seems like this was a compilation of a series of blog posts. There are many typos and formatting errors and often the chapters/blog posts refer to visuals that do not accompany the book version.
Meh.

This is more a reference book than one to read for pleasure or necessarily to read straight through. It's crammed with useful information and advice on preparing for, surviving, and even being comfortable, when possible, in crises. The specific references to good brands and makes is appreciated. I also appreciate Hanson's practical, no-nonsense approach without being alarmist.
