If you have his number, you'll call this author, John "Lofty" Wiseman.
If you don't, you better have this book.
While this book won't help with actually disposing of the zombies, it will assist tremendously in surviving in the desert/jungle/arctic wilderness you've been driven to in your escape.
And seriously, folks, stuff happens. You'll recall that there were air raid shelters when we were kids, all those years ago; and those are now gone.
So when the fertilizer hits the air circulation devices, you'll need to rely on your own preparation and knowledge.
This guy (Lofty) is the THE guy in the area of survival. After 26 years with the SAS, he's taught survival and hand to hand and God knows what else, and he is as matter of fact as can be about teaching what he knows.

My husband has the pocket sized version of this which he carries in his backpack. This one is for me. We're avid outdoors people, hiking and camping in the wilderness areas of the southwest and California. It's the "bible" of survival texts which includes emergency medicine, bushcraft, and safety information for every environment. This is a "must" for another serious about spending time in the outdoors.

Well worth the price. If you ever needed it you would be glad you spent the money on it. Anything you could imagine if you were in a survival situation this book has.

This book was excellent at highlighting the need for good preparation and being forearmed with knowledge. Its a great collection of knowledge and experience that applies across most situations and locations.
The format makes for easy reading and reference and the diagrams are easy to follow. It covers all the essentials of navigation, food and water (even sources of salt), game trapping and hunting (inclusive of simple weapons). The author's approach of stressing the importance of good preparation and the manitainance of a "will to live" set the perfect tone for getting into the basics of survival.
Overall, a great buy. Scope for improvement: Make this into a smaller, hardcover or leatherbound, waterproof edition that will easily fit into any camper's bag or outdoor excursion package for quick and easy reference.
