EMP: Equipping Modern Patriots - Survival Gear & Tactical Equipment for Outdoor Adventures, Emergency Preparedness, and Self-Defense

This is a great story.This is a great story in need of a good editor.By page 75, my brain was breaking from the typos.But I recommend the book, because it highlights some important ideas in disaster planning. Specifically:1) Keep your preps private (p 9)2) procedural recommendations (Chapter 3)3) equipment recommendations (pp 70-72)4) encountering hostile threats (pp 88-89)5) mental outlook (p 111)Along the way, there is some charming Pittsburghese-talk."main street media" p. 12using "as" in place of "because" or "since" p. 62, p. 120"things around the old hose always needed fixed" p. 74"I haven't drank that much" p. 87"make the day to day decisions that will need made"" p. 193"I'm sure you'll do what needs done." p. 254"any major deicsion that need addressed" p. 344The build up to the story (p. 6) uses the false reporting after Hurricane Katrina to explain the need for disaster planning, p. 6 By the publishing date in 2013, we all knew that the media made up most of the accounts of horrible human behavior in the Katrina disaster. Given the facts on the ground, the ftermath of the Katrina disaster is more a codemnation of media ghouls than a proper analysis of how to prep.Note to editor: need a list of edits?page 52, line 3: should be "taut" not taughtpage 62, line 1: should be "since" not aspage 89, line 12, hould be they're not theirpage 94, line 18, fix "very closely together"page 102, line 8: "pedalling" not peddlingpage 104, line 11 and 13: "pedalling"page 139, line 1: "sight" not sitepage 144, line 28: emergedpage 152, line 5: "sights", not sitespage 159, line 3: at the start of the book, Maria is 14 months prenant.
