Hello all,<br><br>I too, love Heinlein. As well as those already mentioned "Number of the Beast" has some interesting ideas for a car/bug-out kit. Has any one read any of Heinlein's non-fiction? The only two I know of are "Take Back Your Government" and "Tramp Royale". Both are interesting. <br><br>Niven and Pournelle are great; they write better as a team than either does alone. "Lucifer's Hammer" is a classic, I particularly liked Dr. Alderson's survival kit. "Footfall", by the same authors is great, too. Niven's "Playgrounds of the Mind" and "N-Space" contain great insights/commentary into both books.<br><br>The best book by far, that I have read re: survival is "Wolf and Iron" by Gordon Dickson. Great stuff. <br><br>All for now. Take care.<br><br>Andy
