An excellent book for the
beginning prepper is Alex Smith’s Getting Home
. This book isn’t about a
survivalist battling zombies to get to his family. It is a decent non-fiction
guide to putting a plan of action into motion that will allow you to get home
safely in a crisis. In his book he covers EDC (everyday carry) items and how to
choose a GHB (get home bag). He makes
excellent points on EDC items you should have and covers options for items
needed both at your work environment and things you should keep in your
vehicle.

Alex also stresses the
importance of redundancy (two is one and one is none) in your EDC and your GHB.
He also has some excellent tips on choosing the right type of pack to fit your
physical profile. This is extremely vital information for those who have done
relatively little hiking or backpacking, which is completely different from the
“car camping” many persons utilize in their outdoor endeavors. The information
about choosing the proper type of pack is worth the cost of the book itself.
He also gives tips on
firearms for EDC. While decent recommendations, most seemed to be based on his
personal experience and preferences when it comes to firearms. The book also
includes several helpful tips in regards to your transportation that the
beginning prepper may not think of or may not be familiar with in their
experience. Several of these tips are found throughout his book and you need to
read it carefully so as not to miss them.
Alex’s book is well written
and would make a good addition to your survival library. Several of his tips
would also make it worthwhile to the more experienced prepper. I even found a few
tips that will be useful to me. RW gives Getting Home a thumbs up!
a thumbs up!
Got GHB?
Staying above the water
line!

Good review. I'm glad he includes his personal preferences for firearms and bags because it's interesting to find out what others like him are using. He recommends several other brands and choices, too.
If all goes as planned, I'll have the author, Alex Smith, on my DestinySurvival Radio show later this month.
Thanks for the review Riverwalker, always good to have knowledge prior to purchase.
