Non-Fiction Must Read Books
Having “stuff” is cool, but too many people tend to rely on “stuff” in an emergency, when really, keeping your head and thinking your way through things works a lot better. (Ever watch MacGyver?)
No preparedness plan is complete without knowledge, because somebody can take your stuff, but they cannot take your mind.
At least that is true as long as YOU don’t lose it!. Remember the more you know, the less you carry.
Here is a list of Non-Fiction Must Read Books.
I own most of them personally, but I have read them all.
I hope to round out this list with some recommended books at a later date, because this list is small and general in scope.
