Wanting a good book

Post by woodpecker »

On the subject of bugging out or bugging in, does anyone have any recommendations on where is the best place to find such books on the UK market at a reasonable price?

I know, but I do like to have something I can pick up and take with me in a small easy to carry package like a book made of paper :D

I'll go look at Amazon, cheers

Found a few on Amazon UK

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Bugging-Out-Dav ... 838&sr=1-1

Page 27 reads well, as it is based in the UK, and I think he (the author) has some useful knowledge. It looks like a new addition judging by the date.

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Bug-Out-What-Do ... B00AEFB9EC

Doesn't look like it is UK based but could be a useful addition, but not sure it is going to be about what I can do in the UK.

Plenty of bug out bag building books, but once packed it isn't going to change that much and there is a huge section here on such bags. Time to do a bit of topic searching, any one got any quick links?

I bought that one a couple of weeks ago, very good.

Well for a real book The SAS survival guide seems to be on most peoples lists, I got it a while back and have not got round to giving it a good read , but it seems very good on a quick flip thru

In the UK the SAS Survival handbook isn't really that good to be honest, it is a book written from the survival training of Special forces troops course.

But that is probably the older version I have, is the newer one for the UK only or does it still cover desert survival and such like?

The SAS ultimate survival guide collins gem is pocket size and a great buy for around £5ish on Amazon used books I believe around £7 or £8ish new.

I also found this little peach which is fun to read and has plenty of good tips for a range of scenarios from the sensible to crazy but still worth a nose I think. :)

http://www.amazon.co.uk/The-Ultimate-Su ... H08J2KFRJD

This one is probably my personal favourite..

Let me know what you think? :D :D
