Without Rule of Law is an excellent book that covers areas of prepping and survival that most books don't even come close to touching on. This book assumes that most of your perfect plans did not work out. Your stockpiles might have been destroyed, stolen, abandoned etc, and you now have to rely on your skills rather than supplies.
Building skills is really what this book is focused on. It contains important lessons, that center on the four important skills of Hiding, Evasion, Scavenging, and Infiltration. It does contain some limited gear recommendations, but encourages the reader to find out what works for them. The book stresses actually getting out there, and practicing the things learned. Finding out for yourself what actually works.
Each section has a short lesson plan that gives you useful information about the topic. Suggests some specific gear that may be helpful and then challenges you with certain exercises. These exercises are simple in the beginning such as preparing a meal over an open fire. They build up to full scale exercises where all your learned skills will be utilized.
A notebook of self made notes is suggested. It is in this notebook where you will record the valuable lessons discovered while going through the suggested exercises. Things like what did you use? How long did it take? Were you able to complete tasks in night and all conditions? What worked? What didn't?
Along the way the reader will gain a clear understanding of developing plans in a systematic way. Developing 1st 2nd and 3rd line gear, and what is contained in each. Various camouflage and evasion principles for both urban and wilderness terrain. Weapon selection. Methods of scavenging, infiltrating, and looting to gain needed resources. Most importantly, by following the exercises the reader will clearly assess current skills sets, and determine where improvement is most critical.
Without Rule of Law is not a book that tells you everything you need to know. It is rather, a book that guides you to learn for yourself. It encourages action. In fact, if you're unwilling to participate, then it would have little to offer you. It is essentially a self study course in the above topics. Often the lessons learned from experience are the most valuable, and that's what is encouraged in this book.
Bottom line, this is an excellent book that fills a niche not covered by most other survival or prepping materials. The exercises are well worth the time and effort to complete, and I highly recommend it.
