4.0 out of 5 stars
Sparse, but useful,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Modern Survival Retreat (Paperback)
I agree with those who would have liked more details in some areas, but still found the book helpful. It's designed as a starting point rather than as an encyclopedic work. It's really a must-read for anyone considering setting up a retreat, because it covers all the major areas.After some attention to each of the major areas, you'll want to start going into more depth. There are other resources available to assist with that. Joel Skousen comes to mind.

Ragnar's Worst,
By
This review is from: The Modern Survival Retreat (Paperback)
I have I library full of Ragnar Benson, this is unquestionably his worst. The book is very short, and only barely touches on a range of subjects. It reads like the table of contents of a much better book! Don't discount Ragnar though, he has a lot of great books out, this just isn't one of them.

2.0 out of 5 stars
basic, lacking in depth of subject,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Modern Survival Retreat (Paperback)
The book is interesting but too basic. The book could possibly be of use for someone who is new to the subject. Benson only touches on material in a overview. The book would have been a better value, if he expanded on the subjects that were addressed. Benson has written many other books that are worth buying, this is not one of them. Read Benson's other books to better understand the subject material, they covered their respective subjects in much more detail.

First Sentence:
At the time of the Randy Weaver incident at Ruby Ridge, Idaho, when an FBI sniper very professionally blew Vickie Weaver's head off with a .308 round, local news commentators excused this blatant governmental excess with blathering statements such as, "It's all the fault of Idaho law that makes it too easy to home school your kids," and, "If the Weavers had been forced to come to town now and then, they probably wouldn't have come to Idaho in the first place and they wouldn't have been able to maintain such antisocial views."
