So I've been thinking of another book, just one of the many that pop into my head. But ABT sent me a PM about it and really got me to thinking. I've messed with the idea of a How To survival manual. But not the typical one covering things like friction fires and debris huts. I'm thinking more along the lines of MacGyver meets Morgan survival. This book will be focused on a post apocalyptic survival, whatever the cause. In the event of a full on collapse the trappings of modern life will still be here, I remember reading after one of the major tornados one of the things that slowed the clean up down was the amount of household chemicals scattered all over. So survival through chemistry will be one chapter, think chlorine and break fluid.
Imagine a survivor wandering the wastelands of suburbia and all the crap the average garage holds. There are a number of things you can do with all the stuff left behind from improvised fire starters to improvised weapons. This latter will be another category, improvised weapons for those that find themselves defenseless post SHTF. There will also be chapters on urban trapping, urban edibles, water sources, and sheltering options in a hostile environment. Security in a post apocalyptic world will also be covered.
I know I've used the word urban a bunch, but this isn't solely aimed at those in big cities. Our nation is covered with suburbs and just because the SHTF, they aren't going away and could be a goldmine for those properly educated. I think this could be a really good idea, though it will really take a while to put together, to do it right. I'd even like to have this printed on paper that's waterproof, the format small, so you could drop it in a cargo pocket. A portable reference for when times are really, really bad. There will also be sections on E&E and some other topics less savory if I can come up with the proper info.
I just wanted to see what you guys thought of it, there's a lot more to this than I listed here but you get the idea. So, what do you think?
