Books & Video's in review (no movies please)

[Badgersmilk]

Read any books or seen any video's that greatly increased your personal knowledge in "Defense, Tactics, or Survival"?  Please share!


"The Ultimate Sniper"  Will teach you any and all you could hope to learn in long range shooting.  OUTSTANDING BOOK worth three times its price.


"SAS Survival Book"  another GREAT read!  Survive anywhere with nothing!  The same author later wrote "SAS Urban Survival Handbook"...  If you walked through Walmart and peeled the warning lables of EVERYTHING in the store, then pasted them in a binder you'd have exactly this book.

You are absolutely correct. Of course you do need an I.Q. above 50 to appreciate it.

Magpul Dynamics "The Art of the Tactical Carbine"  volume I+II featuring Travis Haley and Chris Costa are excellant informative and entertaining. Learned some tricks. www.magpul.com

I also enjoyed reading Marcus Lutrell "the Lone Survivor" What an American! He is also a host on 'Wild and Raw" a hunting show on the outdoor channel

 Marcus Lutrell's book is excellent.
Another one that provides food for thought on survival is James Wesley, Rawle's Patriots

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marcus_Luttrell
Marcus Luttrell (born November 7, 1975) is a former Petty Officer First Class[3] (pay grade E6) and United States Navy SEAL. He received the Navy Cross for his actions in 2005 facing Taliban fighters during Operation Red Wing.

Lutrell's book is a detailed account of a good operation gone to hell, it deals with determination, courage, and a mans will to live.
Rawles book is a fictionalized look at long term survival. While the specifics addressed may not apply the book supplies thought provoking comments on nearly all aspects of long term survival under varied conditions.
