My Book

I know there are people out there who are writers. I have read a lot of their work and i like some of it. Some of it is garbage. You may think that of mine and that is OK. It is OK for you to copy and paste the information for your personal use. If it saves your life then it was worth me printing this to everyone.



Introduction

For too long, the term "survivalist" has called to mind paranoid separatists or white supremacists who give up the conveniences of modern society, drop out of the government's databases and live in one-room backwoods cabins like the Una bomber or any other psychopath that has graced the news media. We know survivalists are much more likely to be Floridians buying hurricane shutters a few months before the next hurricane season. They could be Californians preparing a three-day cache of food and water in case the next big one rocks their town. They could be a Minnesota resident who keeps a few blankets, a pair of old boots, warm socks and a few candy bars in the car during winter. This isn't paranoia; it's just good planning. Like carrying a spare tire, even if you never need it. But there are plenty of online resources for people who just want to prepare a three-day kit. This Survival Guide is designed to take you to the next level. Because in a true emergency, three days may not be long enough. It could also only be for a few hours that seemed like an eternity. Because of this we want you to be mentally, physically and financially prepared for any emergency on any scale.

Some Terms to Identify:

· Survival: It is emerging from a natural or man made disaster in a better position than the average person is. In other words, you get to keep on keeping on, while others may not.
· Preparedness: It means making preparations before disaster strikes to improve your chances of survival. Surely you remember the old saw about closing the barn door...
· Survivalists: They have a self-reliant bent and choose to prepare on their own or in a small group rather than rely on the government to help them survive.
· Disaster: You define this for yourself. It can be different for everybody.


So, how can you prepare to survive? What can you do to prepare to become a "survivalist?" How do I react in different disasters? Once it is all over, what do I do then? We have designed this guide for your help in getting prepared for a disaster whether it is man made, natural or something that you were not expecting. We also answer the questions above plus hundreds others that people like you have asked or were afraid to ask. We feel that you will find things in the guide for all occasions. While this guide is designed for the new survivalist, it has plenty of information for the hard-core preparedness expert as well. Even the most prepared individual needs to be refreshed from time to time on things like the basics as well as the hard core information.
As you read through the guide it would be a good idea to have paper and a pen with you so that you are able to take notes. This is so that later on you can reread your thoughts and ideas as you read the guide and this will help you to prepare for your unique situations in life. If you want you can use your computer to take note but remember, in many emergencies, your computer will be inaccessible, so a hard copy of any chapters you find especially helpful isn't a bad thing to have on hand. We have included a section to help with emergency power should you so want it and are able to plan ahead. There is a section on how to protect yourself and the materials that you have acquired, however for those of you that don’t like weapons you may want to look at it anyway just to see what we have to offer you. While we are not totally finished if you have some ideas or comments we would like to hear from you and we will give you the appropriate numbers and stuff at the end to contact us. Thanks and have fun, because if you’re not having fun you are just having.
