Some of you may remember Mel Tappan an his Survival Newsletter out of Oregon. His wife Nancy continued the Newsletter for a number of years. His Survival Guns and Survival books were /are first rate. Recommended reading. His predictions are on the mark -and are not dated. Keep as much as you need-take the rest away from the modern Tories/Bolsheviks. Be Prepared. Avatar | ||

I read a lot of his too as well as Nonte, Askins,Jordan, Keith, O'Connor,Carmichael, Seyfried, ad infintum. Actually too many to list + at the risk of sounding like an old fart that they don't make them like they used to, well, they don't. | |||

Mel lived about a half-hour from my town in southern Oregon. Never got to meet him. There is hope, even when your brain tells you there isn’t. – John Green, author | |||

Who was the old man that wrote a survival articles in Guns & Ammo? I remember him advising to invest in silver coins. He answered the door one night and someone killed him and don't know if they ever caught the killers. | |||

I'm not sure who that was but if I heard the name, then maybe. I took G+A for many years, but the best editors kept passing away + the newer writers were never as good. I finally quit when I realized I was only reading "Coopers Corner" on the back page + thought it pretty silly to buy a magazine for only one page. However, I did buy all his books, including Gargantuan Gunsite Gossip, that was a compilation of his musings. | |||

While many of Tappan’s recommendations are dated (especially his specific reccomendations on weapons selections) his concepts are still very valid. I regularly recommend “Survival Guns” folks just starting out and tell them look at the concepts not the specific recommendations. DRSS Kreighoff 470 NE Valmet 412 30/06 & 9.3x74R | |||
