Like most prepper things for sale, this is a better product to skin money from the ignorant and the unreasonably fearful than it is truly useful. It assumes you have electricity and the functioning equipment to access it.

In a real prepper situation, you either already ready have the knowledge in your head, (the best method), or you have real books and pamphlets to read, (slow to access).

Remember Kiddies, if a real SHTF gets here, there not only won't be no google or youtube, but there won't be much time to use it anyway. Survival is a real time sink. And most living in the big cities will simply die in place anyway.

It's supposed to be in the US also.

First you live in rural Mississippi, now you live less than 75 miles from the Canadian border? Should I call you an asshole ignorant troll?

The numbers are still non-zero across the northern US. Needing a passport to shop at Walmart should be at least a hint that I'm over 1000 miles away from you. And I should probably be happy that I'm not as representative as you I suppose. In any case, enjoy your "rural" life.

Me, I'mma waiting for iceout on the lake and for the frost danger to go away, (about another 4 weeks), so I can get my garden in again.

Good for you. Where I live, there is still no cell service, (got to be in a town for that), and the US Postal Service will not deliver mail to my home, (I need to pay $165 a year to get a postal box in town to get my mail and I need to drive to get it). I do have internet most of the time, but that and the electricity can be sketchy in a storm, the hazards of living in a forest. So if I can't access that, Oh well, been there before. And I have lived many years without it. Like I said, we will just do without. Oh, and the nearest Walmart is in another country, Canada. I need an enhanced driver's license or passport to shop there. So I ain't missing much there either. The nearest hospital, (level 3, the "barely a hospital" level) is 50 miles away and the nearest ambulance is 20 miles away-- you have a heart attack, you will probably die before help gets there.

There is wannabe rural like you and then there is rural.

The difference is we are used to it. You are not.

I never like the glue line though.

Now there you go! Bibles can be big enough to hide a small mortar and perfect insurance the no maga-ass would touch for fear of burning at the touch.

No, you ain't going to disassemble that revolver to make it smaller. That frame and barrel ain't coming apart without a proper barrel wrench and heavy vise or cutting torch....

So you either need a small revolver or a much bigger book.

Machines are still cheaper. They don't need to be fed or housed every day and you get more work out of machine per hour than any living creature-- be it a horse or slave. And when you are done with a piece of equipment, you turn it off and walk away.
