maybe I am off, but I did enjoy the book. I just finished it today. I suppose part of that is that I lived in that area for two years and hunted quite a bit in those areas of the Palouse. Plus it had a little on Arizona.

I first half which is mostly a fictional way to go through how someone(s) prepare with a TEOTWAWKI bent. But really all the decisions made by 'The Group' were all things I have considered, such as weapons, fuels, bartering concepts, gardening, medical and so forth.

The second half of the book detailing the federales was a bit weak but its a dime story novel so I let it go.
