The problem is he has a only half tank of gas and no means to get any more.

Good tips even if you aren't bugging out!
I understand that this is written with a specific agenda in mind, it is still good information to have even for the casual, non-green thumb kind of person. The narration is smooth and easy to listen to. I wasn't sure if I would find an audiobook on this topic helpful, but I did!

BGBs are worth the wait.
As the narrator said, BGBs are worth the wait. It is vital to carry extra stuff with you when bugging out. There are some chemicals that are mention necessary to bring if you are serious with this Bug out Gardening. I like the DIY fertilizers. Truly necessary.

good system for either bugging out or bugging in
I find this as a good system for either bugging out or bugging in. With this system, I can easily adapt to the environment whenever I am staying or going. Knowing the wild edible plants is a plus in case I need to wait out for the crops to grow and be harvested. Very useful for future instances.

Instructional book. Well written and narrated!
If you could sum up The Bug Out Gardening Guide in three words, what would they be?
Just get started
What was one of the most memorable moments of The Bug Out Gardening Guide?
Who knew Aspirin could be a fertilizer?
Which character – as performed by Charles Orlik – was your favorite?
It's instructional, not a story.. I guess the Narrator was my favorite.
Any additional comments?
This is a straight forward book on gardening in stressful situations. It's written to be easily understood. Charles Orlik has a great voice, he doesn't irritate or drone while narrating.
