Reviews"The preppers' bible."--Jim Forsyth, The Chicago Tribune   "Civilization is still standing now, but that does not mean it always will... We'd better know what to do in the event of a deadly viral pandemic, major asteroid strike, unprecedented hyperinflationary (or deflationary) economic depression, third World War, or any other global disaster, Rawles argues. He spells out all the hazards that we might face in a post-disaster society: looting, armed violence, food shortages, etc. Then he lays out steps we can take now, such as taking survival- training courses, designing shelters, and stocking them with necessary supplies. He even offers a chapter on disaster-proof financial security: savvy investments to make now, earning income in the midst of a major recession, and bartering in the wake of a true disaster."-- The Futurist

  • Great Prepper Book!

    Great book for basics on prepping. Easy read. (I hate to read) Some of these books drone on. This book gets straight to the points. Highly recommended!

  • Worth the money, tons of info!

    Very informative book with tips and tricks to survive. This is the second one I’ve bought, lost the first due to usage…. It started falling apart from being read and re-read so much. Definitely recommend!!!!

  • 1 in 10 make it.

    Good overview of survival basics. Some things I never would have thought of and I've been doing this for awhile. Easy to start habits that will give you a "living edge". Because in the end it's not the zombies you have to fear, it's you neighbor.
