I have a slightly different take

The style - cardboard people on a cardboard landscape.

some of the things are outdated past a joke - collect names from a graveyard and get new ID? Please. Might work in Mexico, not so much in the US. The direct transfusion bit = good way to die.

inch thick steel plate for doors/windows. Fully manned OPs? Really?

The whole ‘sovereign citizen vs the New World Order” past strange.

One passage/chapter about the fellow who walked home to Mt (IIRC) wasn't too bad. I noted one reviewer that said -- JW Rawles is the only guy I know that sells other people's work and is considered an expert for it. I'm sure he is a nice guy in his own way. I do read his site from time to time, and some good information pops up once in a while. Tho I bought the book, I wouldn't recommend to anyone but a complete novice, and still tell them to do their own homework. YMMV. FWIW, I think Farnham's Freehold or Lucifers Hammer has as good or better info than this book. And each is a cracking good story.

You thought Farnhams Freehold was better?

Their preps were a cave, a cow, and a case of canned milk.
