    Justin over at the Swift, Silent, Deadly blog just posted his book list. Worth a look:

    Lots of good books already mentioned. I'll add the following:

    Deep Survival - by Laurence Gonzales

    The Unthinkable (Who survives when disaster strikes and why) - Amanda Ripley. If Deep Survival is case studies in wilderness survival, the The Unthinkable is about natural disasters.)

    98.6 Keeping Your Ass Alive - by Cody Ludin (yes, the barefoot, pig-tailed guy from the Discovery Channel - but it's not a bushcraft/primitive living book. Much more practical. The only "survival" book 99% of us need to read.)

    Green Eyes & Black Rifles - Kyle Lamb. (Been around a long time but I'm not aware of a better book for the AR.)


    I'll add some more in a later post.

    While their writing is not firearms specific, any books from Mark MacYoung or Rory Miller will be worth the read.

    Any suggestions for firearms maintenance/simple repairs? I am going to pick up Stephen Camp's Hi Power book. Is there a good book on Glocks (up to and including Gen 5s and the single stacks) ?
