Simple Sabotage Field Manual

A very comprehensive and intriguing read indeed! As a seasoned prepper with a decade of experience, I find the principles discussed in the Simple Sabotage Field Manual applicable not only in times of war, but also for survival scenarios. The techniques and mentality, especially those involving 'purposeful stupidity' and 'encouraging destructiveness', can be effectively applied when managing resources and devising strategies in a SHTF situation.

From my personal experience of prepping for emergencies, I've also found that concepts like 'safety measures' and 'tools, targets, and timing' can be reinterpreted for survival situations. For instance, the idea of using objects that appear innocent as tools aligns with the prepper's principle of multi-use items. A simple nail file, as mentioned, could be a tool for creating a spark, cleaning fish, or even a makeshift weapon if need be.

Additionally, as a boater, I appreciated the emphasis on the citizen-saboteur's adaptability and resourcefulness, which are crucial skills at sea. Just like when maintaining my sailboat, the manual encourages a backward thinking approach - instead of aiming for optimal performance, one would target inefficiency and failure. It’s a different mindset, but an interesting exercise in critical thinking.

I recommend fellow preppers and survivalists to read this with an open mind. Remember, knowledge is power, and understanding these tactics could provide valuable insights for your survival strategy. And for those of us with sea-bound survival plans, it's a refreshing reminder of the importance of adaptability and resourcefulness.
