The Ultimate Survivalist Library Greetings GIMers. I'm a newbie that's been lurking in here for a few weeks waiting for a chance to post. I've recently gotten to a place in life where being prepared for all kinds of bizarre SHTF scenarios has taken on a newfound importance. (I thank in part, Mega Disasters on The History Channel.) Anyway, I'd like to assemble a fairly comprehensive Survival library. I'd be interested in hearing from anyone who has a title they consider a "must read". I'm an Eagle Scout by the way, so I've already got the BSA Fieldbook covered. I don't currently have a good "bug out" plan, but I have been stockpiling some supplies in my home and I've been buying PMs. I've got The Secure Home Amazon by Joel Skousen on my Amazon Wishlist. Any thoughts on this book? I hope it turns out to be an appropriate starting point. All advice and suggestions are appreciated. Happy New Year to all.

Re: The Ultimate Survivalist Library "Buckskin Book for Buckskin Men and Boys" it�s old but still a good book, kinda hard to find though, The Fox Fire Books are good resources also.

We own both of those and even without SHF situations we reference them occasionally, here's their website Another book that covers the psychology of survival and why some people make it while others don't is Deep Survival by Laurence Gonzales. Welcome White Magic, enjoy your stay at GIM.

That book is okay, but remember it was written in the 30\'s or so. The cultivar names will be of little use. Just a heads up.

Re: The Ultimate Survivalist Library Thanks a lot for all the great suggestions... I see a lot of titles that look really interesting - especially Where There Is No Doctor, Dentist. I'd agree that those sound like pretty practical books to have disaster scenario or no. All the input is much appreciated.
