Chris,

I don't like the name either. But publishers have editorial carte blanche. My original title was "Be Prepared to Survive: The Complete Guide to Making Your Own Survival Kits". In their infinite wisdom, they named it "Build the Perfect Survival Kit". I agree that there is no "Perfect" survival kit, and for the record, I never intended that to be the title, nor do I believe the book will provide that end. As we know, especially those on this site, that all survival kits are ongoing works and, at least in my case, never done. As a side bar, to another person's comment, I submitted the book with color photos, and again, in the publishers infinite wisdom, elected to use B&W (I'm sure for cost considerations). Just thought I would set the record straight.
