Review: The Survival Retreat

[Cougar]

Got this after xmas and my first impression was that is wasnt the detailed tome I had been expecting. The book is 115 pages long and didnt go into the level of detailed I had been expecting. I would describe it as fine for an introduction to the subject of making your house / BOL defensible, and a good set of points to consider but not of any tangible benefit to an established prepper.
The heavy focus that it has on America detracts from many of the ideas it suggests for defense. One thing that is quite good is the detail in the bibliography although it does date the publication quite a bit.

Relevance - 5/10
Concepts - 7/10
Learnt something new - 6/10
A must have - 4-10

Would really appreciate seeing some other reviews from others for other Prepper books worth a read.

If you haven't got them already may I suggest both books from Cody Lundin as excellent reads. Not exactly prep specific but really worth a read I think.


edit;- If you mention the next book you are thinking of buying I'll have a check through my bookshelves and see if I can give you a moni review if I have it.
