Summary: More than just a "survival" manual.
Comment: Joe "Aboman" Bigley has compiled a complete resource for survival in almost all conditions. Many people associate the term "survival" with strictly wilderness related skills and in today's world that can lead to trouble. Today civil emergencies are a reality and Mr. Bigley comes to the front to address these situations. Covering subjects like understanding electricity and basic automobile repair this book brings home the fact that the key to survival, in all situations, is self-reliance. I have given this book as gift's to several family members and that is perhaps the most significant statement I can make as to how much I recommend this book.

Summary: Aboman didn't own a car
Comment: This book covers "civic emergencies, wilderness survival, home management, auto repair, food storage and health". I find it odd that the text has been listed under a wilderness survival heading. At only 144 pages its wilderness survival focus is too terse to be compared to books of this genre.
If you are looking for books on wilderness survival and want FOCUS in your text, try reading the US Army Survival Manual.

Summary: A Book About Life Skills
Comment: Through unfortunate overuse the word "survival" has been diluted into a cliche. You can get divorce, tax audit, and college "survival" guides, as well as a lot of untried and fantasy information from armchair survivalists. Joe Bigley (known to his associates as "Aboman") has placed the term back in it's rightful niche -- the means of preserving your life. While the book does contain much information on emergency and wilderness survival, it is also a guide on how to assume responsibility for your own life.
We are a society that has turned our fate over to the police, fire department, ambulance, and when all else fails, the lawyers. There is an increasingly widespead attitude that you should be saved from your own mistakes and bad decisions. Bigley not only shows you how to take back responsibility for your own actions, but how to live as independently as possible. For instance, he covers how to understand electricity and how to use it wisely. He offers ideas on economical diets that are nutritious and tasty to avoid the doubts and expense of over processed food. Most importantly, he gives good solid advice on disaster preparedness, which considering the times, is a subject every American (and many other nationalities) should be skilled in.
Aboman's Guide to Survival and Self-Reliance is designed to help you take back control of your life. It's not just a survival guide to get you out of a tight spot, but a text on how to manage your life for the long-term. Don't expect a lot of 80s doomsday stuff, but a simple outline on how to save money, eat well, be healthy, and live long and free.
Should you think I am just doing a friend a favor here, think again. I also have a survival book out and run a survival school. In other trades we would be considered competitors, but during these uncertain times the more good information that is available to the public the better. I recommend the book highly for all who want the best for themselves and their family.
