For those who do not/have not followed Rawles on his SurvivalBlog.com web site for any period of time, one of the precepts he espouses is "have a list of lists". The idea is a solid one--you a list of the lists of the things you have (or need) to prepare for bad times. It keeps you organized, since you know what you have, how much you have and where it is, or you know that you need it and have yet to acquire it. Tools For Survival is one of those lists--a list of the tools a family or a group of families would need to have in the event of a long term situation where outside help was not available. (Picture Hurricane Katrina, except help didn't show up for months instead of days.) The book is a comprehensive survey of all areas that would need to be addressed in such a situation.In this book Rawles goes over each major grouping of tools in short form. It isn't meant to be an in depth study of any of the area covered. For example, the archery section is roughly 13 pages long and covers what is known as "traditional archery" (basically, long and recurve bows). He covers very basic information on bows, arrows and how to use them. And here is one of the problems: outside resource materials are relegated to a relatively undifferentiated lump in an appendix. They aren't organized by chapter or subject, but by who suggested them. They would be far more helpful if attached in a paragraph or two at the end of each chapter. especially since chapters in this book can be read individually as needed.In another area, covering hand tools, Rawles makes a mistake that simply has me scratching my head. When saying, "You should have one of these", rather than giving the reader a manufacturer and a model number so we can find it ourselves no matter when we read the book, he relies on the SnipURL service, which is an ephemeral Internet-based URL shortening service. I've just checked over a dozen of the included URLs, and the majority are now defunct. The reader is now in the position of knowing that they need spare 120 VAC duplex outlets (for instance), but not knowing which ones the author suggests or why.These two issues combined they make the book less useful than it should be. For someone like me, who has some skills in every area the book addresses, this isn't an insurmountable problem. But for someone new to preparedness or someone who lacks skills in a given area, these problems will render the book far less useful than it should be. Rawles should address both issues in a future edition.
As a big fan of Mr. Rawles other non-fiction and fiction works, I was disappointed that this latest book did not measure up to his previous standards. Much of the book is copied and pasted articles that readers have submitted to his blog. Whole chapters were mostly comprised of this recycled content. Much of the book simply referenced online resources by way of shortened URLs. One of the reasons I purchased the book was to have a hard copy reference book, but with so much of the important content sitting behind generic URLs, this was not the result. I feel the book could have benefitted from another round of editing, where the blog-reader-submitted content was better incorporated into the author's style and typographic errors found and fixed.The topics of the chapters were good, and did present ideas that I had not considered. One of the unfortunate side effects of mentioning specific gear is that it makes that item exceedingly, and suddenly, very scare. As an example, there is a specific model industrial sewing machine mentioned in one of the articles/chapters. A quick search on auction sites for that particular model returns very few results, and the ones that are shown are outrageously priced. Perhaps not the book's fault directly, but the situation is certainly being affected by the book's wide distribution.While the book did contain some photos, they were generally not very helpful. There were photos of many common items, such as a claw hammer, but some of the more obscure tools mentioned were not pictured. Those would have been much more useful. Many appeared somewhat washed out, likely a result of the printing process and choice of an extremely light weight, non-coated paper. I am a gentle reader, but some of the tissue-paper-thin pages tore. In this case, the quality of the printing and paper does affect long-term usefulness of the book, which is why I have considered it in this review.
If you have any of Rawles' other books this one is almost pointless. There is lot of redundant information and numerous clippings straight from his website. That being said if you do not own any of the other books or ever been to his website then this book could be very useful.
I've read Mr. Rawles' previous writings but this one was slightly disappointing to me. I made notes as I read it, and there are things I intend to investigate further and there are products I intend to purchase as part of my prepping plan, but there are sections of the book where he was clearly laboring to fill the pages with words, more particularly those concerning weapons. It was wise of him to use the input of some trusted bloggers on several subjects. All t hings considered, I found some useful information in this book but it was not up to his prior standards.
This book has a lot of great ideas... whether you are looking to obtain enough material to get you through the end of the world, or we get invaded by aliens... this book has you covered... I personally think the author goes WAY overboard.. for instance, he recommends a variety of weapons, and 5000 rounds for each of them... 5000 rounds for each??? Third world countries have started wars with less weaponry. But still, there are some great ideas here. Taylor the material in this book to your own level of paranoia.
It's a good beginner book but It is heavily reliant on maintaining electric and gas power and factory made tools. I think it would be good for a transition book into the hand and steam and animal powered tools that long term survival and prosperity would require. Getting books and tools to make clothes tools, medicine, weapons and everything you cannot buy in a grid down scenario would be a better way to go. I suggest starting with the book Surviving Off Off grid by Michael Bunker.
