As someone involved in prepping, survival, martial arts, and evacuation backpacks, I have to say – the book pleasantly surprised me. Some of the content is obvious, as one commenter here mentioned, but in my opinion, that's the minority. The book covers so many topics that I don't even know where to start. It discusses all types of fire starting (page 123), refers to blogs online, describes water filtration (e.g., with ultraviolet light, which I didn't know about), threats during a crisis, the contents of an evacuation backpack, what to take on your first trip (page 93), addresses disasters, specialized sources of knowledge online and instructors, websites, books on herbal medicine, first aid, which stores to go to when wholesalers and shops will be crowded by people (page 219). However, the book lacks the topic of evacuating a family abroad in case of war, the first signs of war threats, or possibly more refinement on issues related to blackouts (topics like a 12/230 inverter or EcoFlow power banks weren't covered), or tips on which countries are best to evacuate your family to. It would be worth discussing this, because a civilian shouldn't BE in a war, and if it does happen, this book is a guide on how to survive it. On pages 144-148, unconventional combat solutions (e.g., ASG replicas) are discussed fairly well, which do not require permission and in the event of a brutal attack can be an effective, albeit non-lethal, tool. There, it could mention intervention techniques, the use of pyrotechnics in tactical situations, means of direct coercion (like zip ties, handcuffs, or even a taser, which I would prefer to use in a critical situation instead of a black powder or bladed weapon that could do a lot of harm). All of this requires training and practice, but if all areas were developed and the reader maximized the knowledge from the book to expand their competencies, in case of war they would have a very good chance of survival. And as a cherry on top, the book could more broadly expand on building financial independence in the family. All things considered, as a connoisseur, this book satisfied me.

An interesting book, I'm just starting to read it, it contains things I didn't know about, I think I'll be coming back to many pages. I can honestly recommend it, reading it is a good way to spend time.

I rate the book very well, for me as a layman in this field it is informative, meets expectations, I also recommend it as a gift. It is easy to read, every topic is discussed clearly and understandably, tips.
-
The plus is that such guides are being published for sale, but they also have one tiny minus of course for those who want it. It's worth reading such a book several times so that these wise tips stay in our heads forever.

There is probably no other shop as efficient as this one in Poland, I've never had anything go wrong here and I've shopped quite a bit already. As for the book, I will tell after I read it, but I recommend both the shop and the book anyway.
-
It is worth reading, especially in today's "strange" times.
-
An interesting item, some things are quite obvious but not everything is looked at and paid attention to on a daily basis. Worth reading.
-
A very well-written book on this topic. What is important for me is that it is written in very understandable language. Maybe it contains the basics of survival, but in my opinion it is already enough to be at least minimally prepared for the worst.
-
Nice book, but it mainly covers the basics. If you already know a bit, there isn't much new information inside.
-
Half of the content is unnecessary. It adds nothing or it’s so obvious like a daily morning. However, when there is less obvious and valuable information it is well developed. Plus for mbdl maps! 6/10
-
Lots of interesting advice.
-
Great book, it allowed me to save about 800 PLN on shopping at Militari. Seeing what's going on around, it's better to be prepared and I recommend everyone read this book before shopping for a rainy day. It's better to be prepared and not use it than to be surprised and fall victim to the propaganda that the state will help us. Regards.
-
A remarkable title for anyone who likes survival or wants to be or even is a prepper. Tons of useful information.
-
I recommend it, well-written, concise, a useful guide or a collection of tips on how to prepare for any eventuality in these times, pandemics, climate warming, armed conflicts. In my opinion, there is too little information on how to prepare and what to consider when planning an evacuation route.
-
It's worth knowing these "few" things more than others. I recommend!
