I'm surprised how much I enjoyed reading this: 200 pages of fart jokes, posing as a (satirical) "prepper" survival manual. However there were enough LOLs per chapter to keep me going, and the book is peppered with genuinely good bits of life advice, philosophical musings and personal anecdotes. The book pokes fun of everyone equally - bro's, feminists, the religious, preppers, and the authors most of all.

For a redneck that grew up to be a professional MMA face-puncher, Forrest Griffin can sure write a good line or two. Best read while on the can, a few pages at the time (that setting also most closely matches the content matter). ( )

Forrest Griffin is always a likeable author. The book is fairly lighthearted, and Forrest contiually is becoming a better and better author. It is definatly worth the money to pick up a copy of this book. ( )

Don't read this unless you have a sense of humor. It was hysterical in a dark sort of way... I loved it! The pictures alone make it worth it. When the world as we know it comes to a screeching halt, I want to find Forest's "Safe Zone", if nothing else I will die laughing. ( )

VERY OFF-COLOR, but very funny. MMA fighter Forrest Griffin gives the un-PC version of post-apocalypse survival, from planning your own bomb shelter and supply caches to creating your own vehicle of death. The premise wears a little thin after a while, but the first couple chapters are belly-achingly hilarious. Part of the amusement lies in Griffin's ability to laugh at himself; he boldly mocks his defeats, defying his reader not to cry if punched by a mixed martial artist. Full of bluster and "manly" declarations (along with not-so-manly admissions, like his predilection for Cat Fancy Magazine) this book will definitely prepare you for some serious sh*t.
