Review: Fascinating, Practical, and Entertaining—A Must-Read for Preparedness and Curiosity! - 100 Deadly Skills is an engaging, eye-opening guide that goes beyond just military tactics—it’s about situational awareness, survival, and preparedness in real-world scenarios. Written by a former Navy SEAL, this book breaks down skills and techniques in a way that’s easy to understand and practical, even if you’re not in special ops. I originally picked this up because I work across a lot of different fields (from private investigations to philanthropy to meditation and shamanic journeying—I know, I’m well-rounded!). But this book really tapped into the importance of being aware and prepared no matter what world you’re operating in. The illustrations are great, and the step-by-step explanations make even the most intense tactics feel accessible. It’s a mix of serious survival skills, security tips, and fascinating strategies—stuff you might not ever need, but it’s cool to know you could. desertcart delivered it quickly and in perfect condition, as always. If you’re into self-defense, preparedness, or just enjoy learning skills that could make you feel more confident in unexpected situations, this book is definitely worth the read. It’s fascinating, fun, and makes you think differently about the world around you.
Review: A book for civilians who want an operatives perspective of the world - OK, so.... This book has legit information on topics that most civilians have never had to think about. What is obvious to some is not obvious to others so some of the information may seem very simple. As Voltaire said "Common sense is not so common". Paying attention to your surroundings AKA situational awareness, is critical to not becoming a victim. There are skills and strategies in this book that may see a bit extreme or absurd like having a cache of survival tools encased in a tampon applicator hidden up your rectum so it is not found. Civilians will scoff at this, as I have read in other reviews, but that is only because they have never had to entertain that idea. An operatives world perspective is much different than the bubble that civilians live in because what they think IS, is not what you think IS, so it may be hard to relate to some of the material presented here only because it is not normal to you. If you can accept that people have actually done all the things that are described in this book, then you are able to open your perspective on life and possibly use some of the information. The skills are not all glitz and glam. They are practical, resourceful and real world examples given to you for your digestion. Some skills do seem to appear more for entertainment, however, many are real world skills that you could apply in your own life at some point, or right now, but, you have to actually try them out and practice them. Escaping zip ties, handcuffs, and duct tape are easy to do and fun to try and escape from. Once you take some action and actually try it out for yourselves, it will raise your confidence level because you have tried, conquered it, and now more prepared if the need ever arose. If you need more information on a skill he describes, look at his Cited Sources section in the back to further your knowledge on it. The illustrations in the book are hand drawn. Some people feel that it looks like a comic book and that all of the skills given are a joke and out of a fictional spy movie. Well, where do you think movies get their ideas? Take it for what it is. Just because it seems ridiculous to you, doesn't mean it isn't real. Let this book help motivate you to pursue more information about keeping yourself safe, being prepared, and learning new things. When you are able to help yourself, you are in a position to help others, and that is a great thing.
