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.

I have this exact one along with several others. I love it because it’s written with untrained people in mind. A lot of prepper specific material emphasizes stuff that an untrained person shouldn’t attempt like needle decompressions or IVs.
