What can I say, it's a great Book. This book contains the most comprehensive guide to practical bullet proofing that I have been able to find. I also appreciated the well thought out, easy to understand illustrations.

I first saw this book at the house of a friend of mine. Of course, I found the title very interesting. When I began thumbing through the book, I found it was hard to put down. Don Paul is obviously very experienced in the ways of outdoor survival. He is a great writer, and passes on his infomation to you in a very clear manner. Not to mention the fact that he is extremely humorous at times. One thing I especially enjoyed in this book was the section on how to pick out a guard dog in "grubby times". I think you will find it a very interesting theory. I would definetely reccomend this book to anyone who is interested in learning outdoor survival techniques, or who wants an enetertaining piece of reading.

WOW! to sum it up in one word. Don Paul strikes again with another ingenious survival manual that is only possible with years of experience having death constantly around the next bend. Highlights include: combat gunnery (what to do when you have a big gun and they have a little gun and vice versa), choosing a dog and taking out an enemy's, sending powerful messages by your actions, capturing and destorying the enemy emotionally, car to car combat, possible geographic locations for escape when the grubby times hit, tactics for combat involving a spear, lead time, and the joy of night attacks. I had just finished the prequel to this and am already looking forward to the Happy Handgunner! No home should be without this book. Thank you Don Paul and God bless!

This is the first book by Don Paul that I ever bought. Picked it up at a gunshow in '99 and I still read it at least once a year. I liked it enough to eventually buy all of his other works, which combine to form a complete survival system for all situations.

This was not at all as I had hoped. The information is very simplistic; not only in verbage, but also content. All of the information in this book can be found in the most basic of websites about survival and E&E within a few moments searching. Diagrams are blurry and difficult to interpret. My suggestion is to save the money and spend a few hours searching online or purchase a book by Tappan or Nester. God Bless!

This book is entertaining but heavily geared toward the view that future society will somehow resemble 'Mad Max' or something. Various topics include: What weapon to pick for home defense, where to go in the world if society in the US crumbles, how to get around when there's no infrastructure, and how to make furniture out of large logs and a chainsaw. Lots of common sense stuff, a few interesting ideas of questionable usefulness, like making a guided bomb out of a remote control airplane or fitting your car with a shotgun mount. If society collapses, I don't think barricading in a survival shelter in the rural western US is going to be the most productive thing for alot of people, lots of books on self sufficiency will go way further than this book.
