Fantastic book highly recommended.

Tedious

it takes FOREVER to start. eventually he gives decent information but you have to wade through CHAPTERS of arrogant and condescending pissing matches between the author and any reader and or critic that picks up the book.

Good Practical Guide for Prepping

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

This book has a lot of good, practical information. It doesn't matter if you're an experienced prepper or new to it and want to find out what it is all about.

What did you like best about this story?

It is probabaly one of the most comprehensive guides to prepping I've found. It does a good job of opening peoples eyes. It goes beyond owning a gun and having a 10 year supply of toilet paper.

What about Dick Hill’s performance did you like?

Mr. Hill does a good job of presenting the information.

Any additional comments?

Not everything in this book is going to be usefull to everyone. It is predominantly designed around someone that has a retreat to go to in times of strife which is not practical for everyone. Even if you are locked in the inner city or suburbs being prepared can only help the situation no matter what happens. Everytime a hurricane or some such catastrophy hits you always see people on some news broadcast tearfully pleading for government help, wondering why they still have no heat or clean water after 5 weeks. This book will help you not be this person. Prepping is different for everyone. It doesn't necessarily mean donning the camoflage and traipsing around the backyard with an AR-15. If everyone just focused on having the basics, a good supply of food, water, shelter, heat and sanitation. We would all be better off in a crisis. Rather than looting from one another we'd all be in positions to help one another in a crisis. I realize this ideal scenario is unlikely. In addition, you have shows like "Doomsday Prepper" showcasing the nutcases on the fringe of prepping society, propegating the idea that prepping is for crazy people. I would just say that, no matter what your situation, you can find good, helpful information in this book that will allow you to be better prepared during a disaster. While the audio version is great, it is also practical to get a hard copy so you can have access to the lists, and details that just can't be obsorbed and retained via audio.

Great informational resource.

listened intently, but will go back again to take notes. Thos book may be a decade old, but the information is still very relevant

Worth reading

Would you consider the audio edition of How to Survive the End of the World as We Know It to be better than the print version?

Yes reader was good

What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting?

Informative with good tips.

Perhaps more technical than most new readers can comprehend.

Have you listened to any of Dick Hill’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

No

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

What you don't know will kill you.

This Book is a Necessity for Everyone ‼️

I've listened to this audiobook many times over the last several years, but continue to learn something new each time l do. l highly recommend this book for anyone who is trying to be more prepared.

Interesting but not practical

Knowledgeable things to do if the economy gets worse is what this book is about. Most of the ideas were too much for the average person to do such as moving away from where most of the jobs are.

Absolute masterpiece!

This is the seminal work you need to study to prepare for the eventualities that will come our way. Prepare while you still can
