  1. As professional structural engineer, I can recommend the home made cellar video as a guide on what NOT to do. Somebody needs to intervene in this case on behalf of the children. Please, if you’re going to build an underground anything, do not risk lives, hire a professional builder and an engineer.

  2. The first prepper book I read was yours, Mr. Rawles. I read it in one sitting, and when I told friends about it, Barnes and Noble had to order more copies!!!
    Excellent book. I hope more people would read it and follow the advice.

  3. I have copies of both your non-fiction books, and have tried to “educate” younger relatives with NO success. So, they and much of the rest of my OLD textbooks/OLD history books, various prepping books, etc. are going to a young family that will put them to good use. My other thousands or so books, will make some used book seller very happy someday, when relatives have to dispose of them.

  5. Regarding the culvert root cellar video, I’m with JWR on this one. I heard it said many times during what passed for a career in construction that “steel is cheaper than engineering” and it doesn’t look to me like they had much of either……..

    Considering their intent to pile dirt on top of the roof, if it was me, I’d want something more supporting the edge of that roof around the outside and I’d want something heavier bridging across that span but maybe that’s just me.

  6. I lost all my books in my divorce part of my punishment I suppose. I would love to get new ones but after she was done with me I’m lucky to have beans and bread. Fortunately I still have a lot of information in my memory, unfortunately when I pass so does it. Good news is that makes me worth more alive then dead to some any way.love your writing and post keep up the good work.

  9. I have the following books: How To Survive The End of The World As We know It; Tools for Survival; Patriots; Survivors; Expatriates; Founders; Liberators.
    I would love to get them signed by the Author. But I don’t live anywhere near Idaho.
    I wish the author would show up at a gun show or speaking engagement somewhere in the middle of the country sometime, hint, hint, 🙂

  10. What drove Paladin out of business? I don’t think I ever heard, and I bought several books from them over the years. I would have thought someone would have bought their assets and carried forward.

    1. If memory serves me right they got sued and the settlement restricted the types of books they could sell. I think the digital era was just the final nail. I have many books from them. Wish I could have gotten more.

  11. I ordered literally a box of books from either Paladin or Loopmanics around my junior year of HS. Great stuff including one by a guy named John McCann on private investigations, I think I still have it. It was on my office bookshelf when I was a police detective. McCann now runs survival courses and sells survival gear out of upstate NY.

  12. Real Avid cleaning reviews are poor with many failures noted. A gi surplus kit with a few upgrades(boresnake,carbon remover,chamber swabs and a case remover) would be far better and about the same cost. Knowledge of how to clean,lubricate,service and repair would be even better.
