Book of Lists
Back to table of contents
This book is truly a Book of Lists. There are lists of humanities (philosophy, religion, history, literature, and art) related books and lists of disaster supplies as well as lists of food, music, and Apple iPad recommendations. This books of lists was put together to help prepare people for the future, which will likely go in one of 2 directions, or a combination of the 2: we might lose most our technology and social structures because of our overwhelming number of major problems we face in the modern world and revert back to a civilization more like the 19th, the 13th, or even the 5th century AD; or we might find a new source of energy that will propel us into a future more like Sta r Trek or other Sci Fi movies than like the 20th century. Either way it is likely the study of the humanities will fade as people see technology as the solution to our problems and destroy and be out of touch with the natural world, or that we are so focused on survival that we don't have time to read or even have access to books like we do today. In between scenarios include many disasters and some very advanced technologies mixed with some very traditional ones. These lists will help provide a guide to the resources to make the best of the future, no matter what that entails. This book plus many more books and much more content is available for free download at my website at www.benjamin-newton.com

3.1 Criteria for Inclusion
Back to table of contents
If you see a book that you think should be on the list but is not, likely I have already read it and didn't include it because it was too hard for others to read or it was poorly written including being too repetitive or not being clear and concise.
I have also particularly focused on Asian and classical texts, and have especially tried to limit the Greek, Roman, white American and English writing to as few works as possible, because I think those areas are over read and I have little interest in them after having to read so many of them in high school.
Most of the works I have included I agree with or at least partly agree with and believe can be useful for personal growth except for most the books or the topics contained in “Establishment History” categories which I believe are only worthwhile for understanding history.
I also have usually only included one book by each author and not necessarily the most famous, but rather the most useful one.
Another consideration is the cost and availability of the works. For works that are difficult to find or expensive to buy, I have generally stayed away from.
I generally avoid female writers as most of them I cannot understand.
This is also a great list for Christians who want to study world religions and philosophies without studying the occult.
The Qu'ran (Koran) is not listed as it must be read in Arabic.

3.2 Order of Reading for the Most Fundamental Texts
Back to table of contents
When I studied about Buddhism it took me a very long time, because I read the most difficult to understand of the most important Buddhist Sutras (the Lotus Sutra) first and read in reverse of the order that makes the most sense. I also have realized that recommending over 250 books is too much for most people (even those very serious and ambitious about studying the major world belief systems). The following list is a recommended order, to read the most important Asian-focused texts about the major world belief systems. This is definitely not the order of most importance, but rather the best for understanding the relationships between and evolution of the various major belief systems. If you want to study the different Asian philosophies and religions, I recommend studying Hinduism before Buddhism and Confucianism before Taoism and also to study Legalism, Neo-Confucianism, Jainism, and the Sikh faith as well to get a more complete picture.
I would recommend ideally reading the following, in the following order:

5.1 God and Business Slogans
Back to table of contents
bad consumer=good citizen
God wants you to think for yourself
Fear yourself, not others
Create something, don't buy something
Make a different decision each day
Choose God: give to others
If you're rich, you have sinned
Make a choice: be good or be rich
Limited Business is better than Limited Government
When you save on taxes, do you give away more?
What evidence in your life proves your beliefs?
Does your employer hire more when their taxes are less?
Think long term
God wants your heart, not your money
Volunteering is a better way to praise God
Does your voting undo what you have given to charity?
If God makes you wealthy, then why are there so many nice poor people?
What is right and what is practical are different things
God respects poor people, do you?
Do you believe in business or in God?
Are your beliefs business-friendly or God-friendly?
Do you believe taxes should be given to the rich or to the poor?
Why don't businesses have to pay the real cost of using up nonrenewable resources?
Businesses are designed for profit, not for morality
If businesses and non-profits both run on money and pay their employees, what's the difference?
An original idea would be one that you don't have to p ay for
Christian Business is an oxymoron
Selling Bibles is worse than selling sex
If you manage a church like a business then it is a business
If it makes you money, then it is immoral
If you must raise money for it, then God isn't involved
Help people without getting donations and the glory goes to God
If there is no money involved, then it is a miracle
God will make it happen
If you raise money for God, you have no faith

10.1 Basic Information
Back to table of contents
10.1.1 General Apple iPad Information
Back to table of contents
10.1.1.1 What is an Apple iPad Tablet?
Apple has released the first generation of a new tablet device that looks a lot like a giant iPhone or iPod Touch (without the phone). It has a 10 inch screen, inch thick, 1.5 lbs, battery lasts 10 hours, and sells for $500. An iPad runs most of the same underlying software as the iPhone and iPod Touch, although the interface is evolved for the larger screen. You use your fingers to navigate the device, like the iPhone and iPod Touch. But there are some differences in software availability and the resolution and size of the screen changes things as well.
10.1.1.2 Basic Information about the iPad
It connects via WiFi, so it will work on any wireless network like a hotspot, a wireless network at a school or office, and on your home wireless network (without any additional software, hardware, services, or contracts). I live in a medium size city and there are about 10 free hotspots, within a couple blocks of my apartment, that work perfectly, with my iPad. The battery lasts forever, as the 10 hour battery life is measured, for playing 10 hours of video. The machine turns on and off instantly. It is 10x easier to use than any other computer you have used, even if you are a Mac user.
10.1.2 Purchasing Advice and What to Wait For
Back to table of contents
10.1.2.1 Lack of Space
I would recommend bu ying an iPad, for most users, provided you are aware of several factors, that might make it best for you to wait until Summer 2012 or 2013, to buy the iPad. The biggest limiting factor of the iPad is that it is small on disk space. 16 GB is not that big, when it comes to storing audio and applications. When you throw in video, the lack of disk space becomes a major issue. The iPad disk space will likely double, at least once a year, for the foreseeable future. If you want to get an idea about how much space typical applications take up - all my applications together (most are listed in this directory) take up almost 8 GB (but that includes a tremendous amount of information that I can access without being connected to the Internet). The cost for the all the recommended apps in all categories is about $200 which averages about $2 an application.
10.1.2.2 Recommended Accessories
It seems now that you can get double the disk space, for $100 more - I recommend this, as well as buying the 2 year Applecare warranty, and a hard case. I have the dockable keyboard but rarely use it. The digital pen may work well for some, but I would wait to see what Apple recommends, in this department, as it might damage the screen. Also try drawing with your finger, because it is much easier than you most people think it is, as the sensor is very precise, and you can draw fine lines, with your finger.
10.1.2.3 Wait for More Software Support
The next issue is the lack of Flash Player for the iPad: by 2012-2013 most websites will not be using Flash or there will be a Flash Player for iPad - this will be a painful transition for many web masters and content providers, but it will be resolved in the next few years. Another thing that is lacking which matters to some people is the lack of Microsoft Office for the iPad. If Microsoft does not release a Microsoft Office for the iPad, then some other company will provide a solution - maybe IBM, Oracle, Google, or a small company. This issue will likely be resolved in a few years as well.
10.1.2.4 iPad Does Not Replace Your Computer
The final thing to realize is that the iPad is not designed to replace your computer. You may find yourself using your iPad more than your computer or feel that it replaces your iPod Touch, your dedicated e-book reader, your game console, your iPad, net book, and even your laptop, but you will need a Mac or Windows PC computer (desktop, laptop, or even net book), to back up and sync your files with your iPad. This may change in the next few years as well.

10.2 Using your iPad
Back to table of contents
10.2.1 Apple iPad Navigation Techniques
Back to table of contents
10.2.1.1 Basic Navigation
To zoom in, you either double click, or touch the iPad, with your thumb and finger together, and then spread out your finger and thumb. To zoom out, you start with your finger and thumb spread wide and then bring them together. To get the program options buttons, if they disappear, by double clicking. You rotate the screen, by rotating the iPad, and holding it up vertically.
10.2.1.2 Home Screen Navigation
To get back to the home screen, where all your apps are, click on the square white outline button, on the bottom or top of your iPad, if you are holding it up, in the portrait orientation. You have more home screens, depending on how many programs you have.
You can fit up to 20 apps per screen, but you only want to include a maximum of 16. This is because you navigate between the home screens, for more programs, by dragging your finger across the bottom of the tablet, below the program icons. You can move forward or backward, by dragging your finger back and forth, across the bottom empty space.
You can also move the app icons around the home screens, in iTunes, on your computer, under the Apps tab under your iPad section, or on the iPad directly, by cli cking and holding on a program icon. If you accidentally click and hold on an icon, you can get back the icons back to working as before, by clicking on the home button.
10.2.1.3 Copying and Pasting Text
You copy and paste by first clicking in a text area and then clicking and holding in the text field, until a magnifying glass pops up. Then you should see an option bar that allows you to select, select all, or paste. After you choose select all, then you have the options pop up for cut, copy, and paste. Choose the copy option. To paste, go to the place where you want to paste and do the first part again, up to the point, where you see the options select, select all, and paste. Select the paste option.
10.2.1.4 Troubleshooting your iPad
You get to most the application settings, by clicking on your settings icon. If you have trouble with your iPad not working, one of the things you can do is reset your iPad. Realize you lose all your iPad settings this way, but not any programs or data. You do this, by holding down on your iPad home button and the sleep/wake button, at the same time, for at least 10 seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
If you have an app, that locks up your iPad, you can make it quit, by pressing the sleep/wake button, for a few seconds, until a red slider appears. Then press and hold the home button until the application quits. The if that doesn't work, then press and hold the sleep button until the red slider appears. Then drag the slider. Then press and hold the sleep/wake button, for at least 10 seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
If you cannot get your screen to rotate as you rotate the iPad, then make sure your screen orientation lock is not set on lock. That is controlled by the switch on the side of the iPad. The button below this switch controls the volume.
10.2.2 Advice for Using iTunes
Back to table of contents
10.2.2.1 Managing Apps and Media
Installing apps is easier than on a Mac. All the apps can be found on the iTunes store, which you can access on your Mac or PC with iTunes, or directly from your iPad. Installing an app is as easy as searching for what you want and then clicking on free or buy and confirm (you may enter your password, if you want it to prompt you, each time). You can delete the apps, by clicking on the app, you want to delete, from the Apps section in iTunes and choosing Edit and Delete from the iTunes menu. Then you just plug in your iPad and the Apps are copied over to your iPad. For updates to apps, go to the App section in iTunes and it should have a number next to it (corresponding to the number of application updates available) and then click on “get updates” or “check for updates,” if you want to check manually. There are 2 ways to ad media like books, audio, and video to your iPad. You can buy it from iTunes or buy it in a supported format (ePub and PDF for books; MP3, MP4, Apple lossless, AIFF for audio; MP4 for video) from a third party and then drag and drop it into the proper iTunes category.
10.2.2.2 Managing Disk Space
Now if you want to transfer more content than fits on the iPad, the iPad automatically prioritizes which data is most important. You can see how much space each type of media takes up, on your iPad, when you plug it in. To see this click on “Your Name” followed by the word “iPad” on the iTunes sidebar. Then click on the tab titled Summary. The blue color tell how much space audio takes up, video is purple, photos are yellow, apps are green, books are magenta, and other is orange. There are tabs for Info, which includes Mobile Me (Apple's online service you can purchase for an additional fee), address book (from Adress Book on a Mac), calendar (iCal on a Mac), mail (Mail on a Mac), and web browser bookmarks (Safari on a Mac); Apps; Music; Movies; TV shows; Podcasts (free internet radio shows); iTunes U (free university lectures); Books (e -books); and Photos (from iPhoto on a Mac). You can choose what you want to put on your iPad by name, by category, by album, by collection, by date, by order, and by what has been played.
10.2.2.3 Backing Up iTunes Library
One of the great features that Apple's line of iOS products (iPhone, iPod Touch, iPad, and any other product which syncs or is managed with iTunes) is that you have a complete backup copy of everything on your Apple device like apps, books, music, videos, and settings all in your iTunes Library. So you can easily back up your entire iPad installation, information, and data by just copying the folder titled iTunes in your Music folder of your home directory /Users/Your_Name/Music to another portable hard drive or USB Flash drive. The other way to backup your iTunes library is to choose File, Library, and then Back up to Disc from the iTunes menu. Then follow the instructions. Make sure you have a few DVD-ROMs available. To restore your iTunes Library in case of a hard drive crash or you lose or damage your iPad, you just insert the first disc into iTunes and select the option that you want to restore from backup. Then you just follow the instructions. The other way to restore your iTunes Library is to copy back your iTunes folder to your Music folder in your home directory.
10.2.3 Advice for the App Store
Back to table of contents
10.2.3.1 Features and Cost
One of the things you need to remember with the iPad applications on the iTunes App store is that applications generally don't include any features not mentioned in the application description page. Most iPad applications have been written from scratch not very long ago and are often not as mature as comparable desktop applications, although they cost much less. Generally the maximum price even for a very large and complex application is only $10. Most apps cost $5 or less. Prices may change from time to time and some technical apps cost much more. Always check the free apps first and be careful not to spend more than $5, unless you really understand what you are getting.
10.2.3.2 Help for Choosing Apps
I also recommend reading the reviews, before you buy an application. Remember though reviewers are brutally honest and expect a lot from apps that are almost free, so take what they say with a grain of salt. But they tend to be very specific about what is wrong, so it will help you decide which one to get. Also, when you search, make sure you choose the iPad specific ones, as the iPhone only apps are very small on the iPad and check to see that it works offline, as you will likely find yourself in situations where there are no wifi hotspots in range.
10.2.3.3 Gift Cards
You don't need a credit card, to buy software, for the iPad, from iTunes, or buy, from the iBook store, from your iPad. The iTunes gift cards, that come in denominations of $15, $25, and $50, can be used to purchase iPad apps and iBook books, in addition to music, audio books, and videos. You can buy these iTunes gift cards, at your local: Apple store, Mac store, grocery store, or most other stores that stock third party gift cards. You just click on “redeem”, in the upper right corner of the iTunes store, and enter the code, on the card, after you scratch of the silver covering, with a coin (like lottery cards). There is a problem with some of the gift cards - sometimes the code you need to enter is illegible. If this happens, call customer support and say iTunes. Unfortunately, the telephone system makes you say the product instead of picking a numbered option and it mixes up the word iPad with iPod, so when you get to a person you will need to be transfered to someone else. If you don't want to role the dice on whether or not the code will work, I would recommend just not using the cards. I am certainly never going to use them again.
10.2.3.4 Advice on Entering Sensitive Information
You should never enter credit card numbers, passwords, or any other information you don't want everyone else to see over a public wireless network (WiFi Hot Spot). I would recommend getting a wireless network, in your home, with password protection, to buy things on, like the Amazon.com Kindle bookstore. All the apps on the application store can be bought, from your computer, via iTunes, so you don't need a wireless network, for that part, but many of the applications like Amazon.com's Kindle require that you buy books, from within their application, so you would need a wireless network, at home, for that.
10.2.3.5 Other Applications and Add-ons
Most of the third party App Store applications should be available soon for the device. Most iPhone specific apps will work on the iPad, but they only appear in a little window in the center of the iPad, as big as the iPhone and you can double the size, if you hit the 2x option on the side, but the text then appears blurry. Most iPad applications cost $5 or less and many are free. There is already a wireless keyboard, digital camera cable connector, and cover accessories and a drawing program. You can also expand the memory on your iPad, by using an SD memory card (one of the types of memory, commonly used in digital cameras) and you can also print, from the iPad, to wireless printers. There is also at least one third party application that will allow you to print from almost any printer attached to your computer if you have a wireless network shared with the computer connected to the printer.

10.5.1 Recommended iPad Graphics Applications
Back to table of contents
10.5.1.1 Recommended Photo Editing Applications
Photogene - $4
FX Photo Studio - $3
Photo Edges - $3
SketchMee - $5 plus $10 option
Photogene is generally considered the best all around photo editor for the iPad. It is not the one with the most features, but the features that it does have are implemented the best.
FX Photo Studio allows you to apply hundreds of special effects onto photos like photoshop style filters. Photo Edges allows you to create irregular and stylized edges to photos, for people who hate straight deges and like a more organic and natural feel to photos.
SketchMee does a virtual drawing of your photos or drawings. This is not just a photoshop effect. This looks much more natural like what you get with Corel Painter auto paint which costs $400 and does not offer any vector export option. For an additional $10 in app purchase on your iPad, you can get vector PDF export.
10.5.1.2 Recommended Drawing/Painting Applications
Freeform - $10
Sketchbook Pro - $8
Wasabi Paint - $5
Qvik Sketch Pro - $1
Adobe Ideas - Free
Freeform is one of the most powerful vector drawing programs for the iPad. Vector drawing means that what you draw is resolution independent so that you can resize, reshape, and scale the drawings up to any style with the drawing lines being crisp and clear. The major feature that makes this drawing program so powerful that the other iPad vector drawing programs don't have is boolean operations. Boolean operations are often most used in searches and include and, or, and not. They are used in graphics programs to join different shapes together. Unlike in bitmap programs, connecting the lines together does not create a fillable shape, so the boolean operations allow you to join together lines and shapes so that you can fill them with a color.
Sketchbook Pro is a graphics program that simulates painting. You can create great paintings with this application. The group that created this program have designed the same program for Macs and PCs and are famous for creating Maya, which is the most high end 3d modeling programs out there. This is the kind of program that would be used to design a Disney 3d animated movie like Shrek.
Wasabi paint is a simple painting program, but is very easy to use. It provides paint colors that are rich and iridescent. The colors really pop.
Qvik Sketch automatically adds shadows and shading to your drawings to make them look better. Adobe ideas only has a pen and an eraser, but it is a vector drawing program and it auto smooths your drawings, so they look smooth and professional.

Asphalt is a car racing game, Motocross is a motorcycle racing game, Sailboat Championship is a boat racing game, and MyTP Skiing is a downhill skiing game. I really like water and snow games because water looks really cool in these kinds of games. I also like games that don't require you to think.
One of the things that really made me avoid games on the Mac is that most games required you to use your arrow buttons, but most iPad games allow you to move by tilting the iPad rather than having to hit certain keys. It works well for what is called casual gaming, which is the kind of games that most people play. These games should be familiar to you if you have a Nintendo Wii.

11 How to Survive Disasters
Back to table of contents
Beyond the Willamette Valley
“And Joseph was thirty years old when he stood before Pharaoh king of Egypt. And Joseph went out from the presence of Pharaoh, and went throughout all the land of Egypt. And in the seven plenteous years the earth brought forth by handfuls. And he gathered up all the food of the seven years, which were in the land of Egypt, and laid up the food in the cities: the food of the field, which was round about every city, laid he up in the same. And Joseph gathered corn as the sand of the sea, very much, until he left numbering; for it was without number. And unto Joseph were born two sons before the years of famine came, which Asenath the daughter of Potipherah priest of On bare unto him. And Joseph called the name of the firstborn Manasseh: For God, said he, hath made me forget all my toil, and all my father's house. And the name of the second called he Ephraim: For God hath caused me to be fruitful in the land of my affliction. And the seven years of plenteousness, that was in the land of Egypt, were ended. And the seven years of dearth began to come, according as Joseph had said: and the dearth was in all lands; but in all the land of Egypt there was bread. And when all the land of Egypt was famished, the people cried to Pharaoh for bread: and Pharaoh said unto all the Egyptians, Go unto Joseph; what he saith to you, do. And the famine was over all the face of the earth: And Joseph opened all the storehouses, and sold unto the Egyptians; and the famine waxed sore in the land of Egypt. And all countries came into Egypt to Joseph for to buy corn; because that the famine was so sore in all lands.”
--Genesis 41:46-57

11.1 Survive Disasters: What to Prepare For
Back to table of contents
11.1.1 What Kind of Disasters
Back to table of contents
Every survival list will be different because they are designed for different disasters. You cannot make a kit to survive all possible disasters.
Look at your national or international television or Internet news over the past several years and you will see many of the following in the headlines. Study your local history and past disasters that have happened where you live and work. Study what life was like before electricity and modern plumbing came to your area.
I have focused on the Willamette Valley (in Oregon), so in your preparations you must factor in the variables mentioned below.
11.1.2 Regional Factors
Back to table of contents
geography
weather
wind patterns
soil type
access to drinkable water
population density
distance from military installations
amount of land you own
crime level
population diversity

11.1.3 Survival Items Most Affected by Regional Factors
Back to table of contents
water storage
amount of food on hand
seeds
clothing
personal protection/self defense
nuclear radiation protection (applies the same to most US areas except for the area of the Oregon I live in, due to spread of possible targets and wind patterns)
11.1.4 Examples of Major Disasters
Back to table of contents
vary depend on your location but include:
biological, chemical, nuclear, and radiological terrorism or foreign country attack;
disease outbreaks including avian flue;
water born severe storms which are called either: hurricanes, typhoons, tropical storms, cyclonic storms, tropical depressions, or cyclones;
earthquakes and volcanic eruptions;
global famine;
global climate change/global warming with sea level rises affecting most of the population which lives near the sea;
running out of natural resources like drinkable water, fertile soil, or oil (which is the basis of modern civilization);
space based threats including asteroid or comet impacts, cosmic radiation, pole shift;
economic problems like worldwide depressions, hyperinflation;
major communications infrastructure breakdown like entire grid power outages or major satellite failure
11.1.5 More Common and Personal or Local Disasters
Back to table of contents
11.1.5.1 primarily need financial/related preparation:
loss of job or incomes,

11.2 Survive Disasters: Answering Objections
Back to table of contents
11.2.1 Disaster Preparation is a Kind of Insurance
Back to table of contents
Some people think to prepare for disasters leads to desiring they come true so you are proved right. But most people who prepare do so for the same reasons people buy different kinds of insurance. People buy life insurance, still hoping they will live, medical insurance, still hoping not to get sick, and car and house insurance still hoping to not to lose their possessions.
11.2.2 The Government Will Not Save You
Back to table of contents
Some people are willing to rely solely on the government to protect and provide for them in case of disasters. Based on my understanding of how the military operates from my own Army enlistment, based on what happened in reports of survivors of Hurricane Katrina, and hearing disaster plans from the local FEMA office, do not expect the government will help you at all and definitely not until 72 hours have passed at the very least.
In most situations when the power goes down (including water and sewer) for a few days, and food is not delivered for a couple days, riots will break out and the response from the police will be to contain you, not to offer you help. If you have to go to a relief center, be prepared for your personal belongings to be stolen, you will not be able to carry anything for personal protection, even kitchen or swiss army knives which you will never get back, and expect to encounter violence from people who may or may not be part of the government.
11.2.3 Prepare Ahead of Time
Back to table of contents
If you are planning to wait until the last minute, most people will be doing the same and realize that when the trucks stop coming, there is only enough food for everyone stored in local stores to provide for people for 3 days. Within hours of the disaster, everything in every store that could possibly be of use to you will be totally gone. This happens all the time in hurricane country even when people know it is that season and they have been hit in the past, they still wait until the last minute.
Do not count on having access to any sort of power and expect that you will not be able to use credit cards or toilets. Keep cash on hand in addition to your supplies and keep low denominations because local vendors will likely not be able to give change and instead round off items for sale to the nearest dollar.
11.2.4 God Wants You to Be Prepared
Back to table of contents
Some people also believe that to have faith in God means that they should depend on miracles to survive, but the Bible teaches in Genesis with the living example of the patriarch Joseph, as a leader under the Pharaoh in Egypt, that we should save a little extra each year for the lean years.
11.2.5 Preparation will Vary According to Your Situation
Back to table of contents
Preparing will involve different things for different people. Some want to live off grid and live off the land with no power. Others will merely have a a few weeks supply of food on hand. There is no one list because everyone's situation is different.

11.3 Survive Disasters: Survival Kits
Back to table of contents
11.3.1 Bug Out Gear
Back to table of contents
This survival kit, called a Bug Out Bag, is designed for survival for several days and contains everything necessary to get you to your permanent retreat, a place in a rural area where you intend on spending a long emergency situation with your family or group of friends, like a farm or ranch. This should be able to be carried by you on foot, as you have to assume that you will not be able to get gas for your car at the time of th e disaster.
11.3.2 Doomstead
Back to table of contents
A doomstead is your permanent retreat. You want to have a piece of land that one member of your group owns, preferably with a number of acres of land in which to weather out a major disaster. You want to be able to get plenty of fresh water, have good soil, mild weather, a homogeneous population, and have low population density.
11.3.3 What to Stock up On
Back to table of contents
Save as many open pollinated seeds, plastic sheeting/containers, metal tools, soap, warm clothing, fresh water as possible as these are not easy to come by in disaster situations. The following items are relatively inexpensive now but are worth more than gold in times of disaster.
Seeds are the most important thing to save, because they will provide you food in the future, but the seeds that are in your local stores, although cheaper, are hybrids and you cannot grow plants from the seeds of hybrid plants for the following years. You can find open pollinated seeds online.
Plastic sheeting is useful for many things especially waterproofing and sealing rooms from nuclear/chemical/biological contamination, plastic containers can be used to store food and water. Plastic is not easy to produce without modern technology.
Metal tools are very hard to make without access to lots of energy and/or advanced machinery that is hard to get, expensive, and too heavy to carry.
Soap is essential to staying healthy and can be made fairly easily, but is very toxic and dangerous to make.
Warm clothing is important because even if you have mild weather, the climate throughout the world may change quickly and there will be more extreme storms because of global warming.
Fresh water is essential for life and is not always easy to collect from rainwater, in the midst of a disaster, especially if it happens in a dry area or during the summer.
11.3.4 Learn Valuable Skills
Back to table of contents
The key to survival is to have the know how to be a useful member of society, where you can provide a critical service, that is in high demand. You need to plan on not having access to power.
Farming would be the best skill as we would need 50 million farmers to feed America without access to modern, oil-based technologies.
You can get books on self defense, medicine, plant identification, water storage, gardening, butchering, preserving food, cooking, tanning leather, leather working, sewing, carpentry, paper making, brewing beer, and blacksmithing through Amazon.com and at your local bookstore.
11.3.5 Resilience
Back to table of contents
Don't put all your resources into any one thing. Spend some on disaster supplies, save some in cash on hand, save some money in the bank, pay off debts, and lower monthly expenses by canceling unnecessary services.

Book of Lists
15.1 Introduction
Back to table of contents
In a survival situation, the powers that be always say don't panic, but that is almost useless information because it is so basic and obvious. This following list tells you specifically what to do, instead of what not to. This list is based on the book, Deep Survival, which is based on the idea that some people with all the correct equipment give up and die while some people who are ill prepared succeed. The list is basically about how not to panic.
trust your gut feelings before taking on situations you think may lead to risk
Book of Lists
15.2 CONCENTRATE ON ATTITUDE FIRST
Back to table of contents
pray for focus
turn fear into focus, strength for action
