My father-in-law gave me Dr. Disaster's Guide to Surviving Everything. My father-in-law is a man who keeps about two years' worth of non-perishable food in the basement and who walked me through the family's apocalypse plan disconcertingly early in my relationship. I started reading the book, more to be polite than because it�s the sort of book I usually go for. However, reading through the chapter on what to do for small cuts or injuries that happen around the house did make me realize that I had let our household�s already meager first-aid supplies run embarrassingly low. So when I was at the grocery store the next day I picked up some bigger Band-Aids, a bit of gauze, some Neosporin, and an ice pack. I put them in the closet(and freezer), expecting that I would find them again in two years when I next decided to sort that closet. Bizarrely, the next morning, the neighbor�s dog bit me. He bit me about 30 minutes before a very important conference call. Because I had been motivated by Dr. John's book into getting basic first-aid supplies, I was able to bandage up my dog bite in time to still attend the conference call. If I hadn�t been shamed a little by this book, I probably would�ve had to miss the conference call to run to the store to get first aid supplies. While I wouldn�t have lost my job or anything, I would�ve had to have a very embarrassing conversation with the District Director about how I had to miss an important strategy call because I didn�t keep Band-Aids and Neosporin in the house. So I finished reading the book, and I will probably throw our copy on the top of our bug-out bag (also a gift from my father-in-law) instead of relegating it to the back of the shelf with the stack of other survivalists books that my significant other has collected. The apple doesn�t fall far from the tree. The book has practical advice that applies to everyday life, and not just to those times when I want to survive in the woods for months on end after the collapse of civilization.
