This manual is designed to take a Prepper through the process of preparing for short term disasters where help will be coming after a short time. In these cases, all you need to do is hold on until aid arrives.
This book also takes you through Long Term cataclysms where it may be months or years before any sort of recovery may be possible. This takes Prepping to a whole new level where your very survival depends on your preparations and food supplies.
The guide covers self defense and home security in a practical way, looking at storage strategies and food supplies, growing food, and maintain standards of living in a time when the grid is down.
The book also takes into account the present COVID pandemic and how this affects plans for any other disaster that may be heading our way.
At the end of the book there is also a comprehensive set of links to high quality guides and PDFs you can download and keep ready.
This book was written during the COVID-19 Pandemic and refers to how the pandemic could affect actions in any subsequent disaster. It was also written in a time where Global Warming, and several international disputes present an increased threat to us all.
The aim of the book is to be thought provoking for both urban and rural survivalists; leading them on a journey that will result in far greater chance of surviving whatever nature or man throws at them.
With a detailed Table of Contents at the front, and a full index at the back, this book allows quick access to all the different topics covered.
