    I have been a “closet prepper” for the last twenty years or so without even realizing that I was part of a unique group of people. Glad to be a member of such “smart” guys and gals. Although I am a “small” prepper in comparison to others, I feel so good about being prepared.

    And thanks to National Geographic channel for bringing “prepping” to the forefront. So much activity and so much information is now being spread around the country………..and probably the world!!

    I live in the countryside, surrounded by herbs and plants and trees so this book would be an excellent resource for me.

    Knowledge is power. We girls are going to need all the power we can get if we have any hope to make it through to the other side with our dignity in tact. The future is going to be ugly but so much more so for the women of this world than for the men

    To answer the questions: color-blue, pistol-Beretta 90-TWO, survival movie-Red Dawn, beer-Rainier. And yeah, i couldn’t think of anything lol. Keep up the great work!

    This is a book that is on my list to buy. Goodluck everyone.

  16. By chuck, March 4, 2012 @ 2:58 pm

    Made my way here serendipitously via activistpost and found this great giveaway, and the blog looks pretty good too. I’ll have to add it to the list of my daily rounds!

  17. By steve jorgensen, March 4, 2012 @ 3:08 pm

    To be prepared, we need to continue educating ourselves on a regular basis by reading different books and stocking up on food, medical supplies, selfdefence,etc.

  18. By LilBruno, March 4, 2012 @ 3:49 pm

    Looks like a great book to have in the prepper library!!!

  19. By Jeff from Alberta, March 4, 2012 @ 3:59 pm

    You have a great site. I have a suggestion for a post. Can you suggest alterations to kits, bobs, edc bags and such for cold weather environments? I know ceramic filters do not do well in freezing temperatures. In my bob I have a stainless steel canteen with coffee filters and water treatment tablets. Also canned food do not store well in the truck. Any advice would be great.

  20. By rebmanwv, March 4, 2012 @ 4:09 pm

    Rourke, great job on your website. It’s part of my daily reading.

    I teach preparedness seminars with a Christian disaster response organization call Crisis Response International (www.criout.com). I recommend you website data base to the trainees regularly. This medical handbook looks like it would be a good resource for responders.

    Thanks again for all you do to keep others informed. Keep up the good work.

  23. By Michael Baccari, March 4, 2012 @ 4:44 pm

    Your site is one of my daily reads. I appreciate all the hard work, compassion and sense of humor you put into it. All the buzz about striking Iran suggests that things may start unraveling any time now. Being prepared has never been more important. Best to all and hope to see you on the other side.

    Great book to have and great site. Lots of info.

  27. By CM, March 4, 2012 @ 6:38 pm

    I have seen the Doc and Nurse at a preparedness show. There was a full house at the suture ‘class’.

    I think there will be a lot to learn from this book.

    Thank you for the opportunity/chance.

  28. By jim, March 4, 2012 @ 6:41 pm

    This book would be a godsend to us.I hoppe we win this. I really enjoy your site because I always learn something. Keep up the great work.

  29. By kevin, March 4, 2012 @ 7:03 pm

    i saw what happened to new orleans after katrina and after 911 and i saw what went wrong in both cases and decided to do what i could to help myself and loved ones and ive been at it ever since ive learned you CANT prep for everything so you pick one or two things and prep for those

  30. By JFoxmen, March 4, 2012 @ 7:38 pm

    What has been happening in the world today (and the last 20 years) is totally bizarre, liberties and freedoms taken away, and having a book such as this sure would help in the coming difficult days ahead. Thank You for the opportunity to win “The Doom and Bloom Survival Medicine Handbook”!

  31. By Tonya, March 4, 2012 @ 8:34 pm

    My favorite thing isn’t materialistic. In fact, it’s a new appreciation for what I have; my family and friends. New to “prepping”, I took a look at the many possibilities we face as our country collapses all around us and realized just how little material things really matter. So, for me and my family it is a huge change but, a positive one, as we are learning to become more dependent on ourselves, living healthier, selling off unnecessary stuff and continuing to learn more and more as we go. Recently, we started composting and building a greenhouse!

  32. By PSD, March 4, 2012 @ 9:35 pm

    Nice blog. It has become one of my daily reads.

  34. By kdonat, March 4, 2012 @ 11:02 pm

    At at recent prepper group meeting, three members showed up with your book in hand for “show and tell” and two others said their copies were at home.

  35. By Tim Davidson, March 4, 2012 @ 11:22 pm

    This book would be an amazing addition to my library. Thanks for the chance, will probably order if I don’t win, so either way I’ll enjoy the knowledge.

  36. By Hillbilly, March 4, 2012 @ 11:26 pm

    I want to win the book from you AWESOME site.

  37. By CD, March 4, 2012 @ 11:29 pm

    Free book! So cool. 9mm vs. .40 cal. Please discuss.

  38. By Brenda, March 4, 2012 @ 11:39 pm

    Having a Survival Handbook would be a great benfit to my family. I have three boys and a husband to care for. We have been preparing for hard times since 2008. However, because the needs are so great we cannot purchase everything we feel we will need if/when there is a great emergency. We have concentrated on food, and learning new skills (gardening), etc. Gardening is expensive, but more than pays for itself when you are successful. As a beginner Gardening has not paid for itself at this time, however the experience has been so valuable. Even the losses have been teaching moments. I would appreciate the medical book and share with those of like mind the site and place to purchase a copy for their preps. Thank You for the opportunity to register to win.

  39. By Kim, March 4, 2012 @ 11:44 pm

    Your website is a daily read for me, I really appreciate all you do. Prepping can get financially difficult for me, I will admit I have only been able to buy one preparedness manual thus far. I do think a library of various books is a must for every prepper, so it would be great to win this book. Good luck to everyone! And to those folks sitting on the fence still, you better jump off! Look around you, the signs are obvious. Rely on yourself!

  40. By Ron, March 5, 2012 @ 1:00 am

    Great site. Keep up the good work, and I really appreciate the contests.

  41. By Ben, March 5, 2012 @ 1:38 am

    sounds like a wonderful addition to any book collection, I am sure that the chosen prepper will cherrish this treasure trove. good luck to everyone involved and thanks to all who are making this give away possibe, keep up the great work!

  42. By John, March 5, 2012 @ 2:58 am

    Love your blog. The book would fill that empty space on my bookshelf.

  43. By Dave, March 5, 2012 @ 4:02 am

    They are now selling food grade buckets and Gamma lids at Home Depot.

  44. By Linda Benoit, March 5, 2012 @ 7:49 am

    Thanks to my 23 yr old son, the family has now been prepping for over a year. Just remember, it’s a journey and do what you can within your financial restraints. I just purchased a pressure canner and plan to do more gardening and more canning of our own foods. Good luck everyone.

  45. By Cyber Ninja, March 5, 2012 @ 9:38 am

    would be most appreciative of this book. it looks like a fantastic resource for those without access to mainstream medicine. comment? off the wall.. impatiently waiting for spring and futzing around in the garden with many new varieties to experiment with this year. this will include adding medical herbs with the hope I can learn to use them effectively. God bless and be safe all.

  57. By gray fox 114, March 5, 2012 @ 8:37 pm

    Can’t have too much knowledge, and might not be able to access all that is there when it is needed, hence the need for books, especially if you plan on “buggin in!” Great site, most useful!

  58. By GulfVethomesteader, March 5, 2012 @ 9:05 pm

    Great podcast, great blog, great give-away….and with my birthday being March 6, well it is kinda easy…ya know….lol

  60. By SFC Tom, March 6, 2012 @ 7:10 am

    Great giveaway Rourke! My favorite pistol is my Springfield XD 9mm. It has never failed me!

  61. By Jean, March 6, 2012 @ 11:17 am

    The Great Depression started when I was two and I spent my teens in WWII. I have always kept reserve food in the house thanks to my parents’ and grandparents’ examples from that time. When the Millennial Meltdown was promised, I beefed up our food supply and laid in oceans of water. I’m 84 now and planning for the Greater Depression. My garden will be twice as large this year and I have bought a dehydrator to preserve the most food in the smallest space possible. I have used alternative medicine for 40 years. I hope I’m ready for The Big One that’s coming. If i’m wrong, I’ll thank my lucky stars. As an ex Scout leader for 15 years, I live by the motto, Be Prepared. If I win the survival meds handbook, I’ll know the Universe is rooting for me.

  62. By Zoomie, March 6, 2012 @ 11:59 am

    Rourke,

    Guess I need to learn to follow directions. I’d really like to win this book too. Been following Dr. Bones and Nurse Amy for a while now.

    This is a great giveaway. Thanks for letting us participate.

    I’m just getting started with my preps (Food: rice & beans, for now; BOB almost ready, GHB is on the list for next month), and just purchased my first firearm (LOVING IT!) and started purchasing some bulk ammo.

    OK…. thanks for letting me share, too!

  64. By Eric, March 6, 2012 @ 7:55 pm

    One survival skill that I believe is extremely underestimated, and is applicable in all types of situations, is a combat based, reality based, no nonsense hand to hand combat/self defense system. Even though I carry concealed anywhere I can go legally with a weapon, there is always a possibility of not having your weapon with you, or that you can not get to it in time when your world turns upside down. Even if you are never involved in hand to hand combat, a good self defense program should teach you how to think as well. I believe that it keeps you calm, confident of your abilities, and much more aware of the dangers of violent interactions with other people.

  65. By jeremy czartoryski, March 6, 2012 @ 9:49 pm

    As a recently new prepper/survivalist (about a year), i think this would be an excellent book for me. Thanks for the opportunity.
    Oh and for my fav. movie: red dawn, fav. color:black, fav. beer: yuengling, fav. pistol: H&K USP

    Gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme! Just kidding. It would be nice to get a free book so my husband won’t complain (as much).

    I hope we win this book! The knowledge in it would have been handy when my husband slipped and slid down a mountain face on his behind leaving large gashes in his toosh 2 days hike away from help in the Sierra’s. Or when our daughter developed a large burning rash 1/2 days hike in Mark Twain Nation Forest. The thought of not being able to get someone to an ER when needed scares the heck out of me.
