Overrated Survival Items


Book Description

When it comes to items and gear that you can use for survival and disaster preparedness, you have a nearly limitless number of options. Just go to the Sports and Outdoors category in Amazon and type in 'survival gear' and you will see what I mean.But despite the massive and limitless array of survival items that are available, you still want to be very selective about the ones that you buy.This is because while some survival items are truly useful, versatile, and practical, many more are hugely overrated and would be best avoided.In this book, I want to focus on specific survival and disaster preparedness related items that are hugely popular but that are also hugely overrated, the reasons why these items are overrated, and the best alternatives to those items.Examples of overrated survival items that this book will cover include:Hollowed Handled Survival KnifeMRE'sPortable GeneratorsSleeping BagsNight Vision GogglesCamping TripodsGoldEach of those above items and many more that we will discuss are hugely overrated when it comes to survival and would be best replaced by other items that we will discuss as well.




Overlooked Survival Items


Book Description

Whenever survival comes to mind, there are probably certain items that you think of first: bandanas, knives, hatchets, beans and rice, water, first aid kits, tarps and tents, rain ponchos, and so on. Each of those items are extremely important to have in a survival situation, but at the same time, there are many more items that would be almost or equally as important to have as well, but that for whatever reason never seem to receive the same amount of attention in survival circles. This is going to be a very straightforward book that dives into the top twenty most overlooked and underrated survival items to have in your survival/disaster preparedness stockpile and the reasons for why each one is so important. The specific items that we will go over include the following: - Aluminum Foil - Baby Wipes - Baking Soda - Batteries - Books - Bug Spray - Chocolate - Clothes - Cotton Balls - Dental Floss - Duct Tape - Engine Oil - Garbage Bags - Hand Sanitizer - Maps - Paper Clips - Pens and Paper - Razors - Toilet Paper - Zip Ties As you read through this book, something you will notice is that each of these items are simple things we use in our everyday life. However, there are a wealth of different survival uses for each one that this book will point out to prove to you the value of these items.




Forgotten Survival Items


Book Description

You already know the basics: stockpile food, water, ammo, first aid/medicine, and other necessary survival items. But regardless of whether you are just an everyday person setting aside items for survival or disaster or a hardcore prepper, you can still overlook certain things. In this book, I want to outline and discuss twenty five survival items that you may have forgotten to add to your stockpile or survival kit/bug out bag. The items that we will talk about in this book are items that are very easy to find and procure (in fact, you may already have several of them in your house right now), are incredibly inexpensive, and are very versatile in a survival situation despite their overall simplicity. While you may not think you need these items now, in a true survival or disaster scenario such as a natural disaster or an EMP attack, you'll be kicking yourself if you don't have them. Are you ready? I am, so let's begin!

Book Description

Handy (and often hilarious) hacks from the resourceful TV hero. Includes illustrations! For over thirty years, the name MacGyver has been synonymous with astonishing feats of ingenuity, from fixing a car with nothing but water and egg whites to busting out of jail using a hairpin and a pair of repurposed handcuffs to, of course, saving the world with his favorite weapon, a simple paperclip. What you might not know is that every trick that the resourceful secret agent pulls off on CBS’s hit show has been tested and fact-checked by experts, and really works . . . most of the time. No one is saying that you should craft a DIY airplane out of trash bags and a lawnmower engine. But with this book, you could. The first official how-to guide to the MacGyver universe, this book is packed with drawings and step-by-step descriptions of the hacks that made this character the world’s most resourceful secret agent. It’s lots of fun for fans of the new hit series as well as the classic show that started it all—or anyone who enjoys a bit of applied physics and clever problem-solving.
