Query: Must have for the 'survival family' library...

Even with some of the material outdated, most of what Mel Tappan wrote still applies today, just that some of the threats have changed. I still go back and re-read this and Tappan's "Survival Guns", which also should be on the survival family's bookshelf.For the family that has little knowledge of firearms, the advice he gives is still practical today. His advice on retreating is the best I have read, and once again, the most practical. His writing is entertaining and straghtforward, and he backs up his conclusions with sound facts.If you want cold, hard, logic (and when it comes to the survival of yourself and your family, who doesn't?), then this is the book for you. It is not the end all to be all, but I consider it mandatory to the modern survival family.
