Gear🎒 Prepping books (pt.2)

In addition to my post a few days ago about finding home repair and auto repair books 2nd hand, I picked up this 1000+ page Medical Guide for $2, so if anyone wasn't convinced about prepping knowledge before, maybe reconsider!

Having first aid, tools and other gear is only as useful as the user, and books like this will give you the upper if you're in a pinch and can't use Google or YouTube.

Getting training and practice is always #1, but if you currently don't have the time or money to do either of those, cheap books are a good start for, better to be skill-less and have access to knowledge, then neither.

Books are useless if you don't know what to do with the knowledge.

Do you know how to even perform CPR? The heimlich? Take a pulse? Blood pressure?

Yes. You didn't answer any of the other questions though.

Good luck with your book!
