I enjoyed How to Survive TEOTWAKI, but I think in all honesty, the utility of this book is to get newbies 'thinking' across the full spectrum of things that need to get prepped. A true guide to preparedness would more likely approximate the size of Country Living, if you've ever thumbed through a copy of that.
Perhaps JWR should write one? I'd buy it.
the world is NOT going to end at 2012. Because I was in astrology/space class and in the book I read that the world will end in the years 2068 or more possible in the years 3005 so everyone dont worry the mayans and Jewish calanders and people are right but more wrong . But really GOD is our only fait and wisdom he only knows whats going to happen! And when we die we are not dying we are still living, all of gods children and animals that means everyone in earth goes back where they were when they were created, HEAVEN.
you guys are all idiots
haha. B=======D ~~~~
If the world ends then it ends, noone knows when it's going to happen. So just live life to the fullest and have a great time. The world could end anyday so everyone just stop being parnoid and just don't think about it.
