Survival tips written for (and by) old farts... I decided to write down a bunch of timely wood lore tricks and preparedness advisement so they can be shared and remembered at least once more. Knowledge I have gained from a lifetime of prepping and preparing for disasters and how to live easier through hard times are explained within this book. I bet all of us aging seniors who are of the preppier mindset or of a survivalist bent, as well as many younger folks less knowledgeable, want to know about the same things we do regarding eating well and dying easier after a mega disaster. That is, survival knowledge that we will need to know and rely on should the electrical grid ever go down and stay down. Considering just how unreliable all this newfangled technology can be and the fact that new threats are always appearing on the horizon, it is not a far stretch to say our dependency on technology is putting our very survival or daily existence in jeopardy. We need to try to get back to our old school mindsets now and learn more about the woods or country living that some of us may have forgotten about, or some of us never learned growing up to begin with. Whether or not you are just learning basic preparedness for the first time or remembering many an old camping trip or military deployment, there is plenty to learn here. The contents of this audiobook will teach you long term survival and food procurement, using anything but the cheapest gear best suited for the task. Even if you are on a strict fixed income and have a few minor physical disabilities, I have a plan for you and it's one that won't cost much at all to sustain you for a year or more. This audiobook will teach you some awesome things like how to catch a fish with a twig, use nothing but a pencil sharpener to light a fire in wet woods and make a fish hook or animal trap, heat your house with the sun and a sewage line, open a can of food on the curb without a can opener, heat your house with a garbage bag, light a fire with a rain drop, defend yourself against a wild dog attack, spend a dollar on a tool that can feed you the rest of your life, or spend a hundred dollars on a piece of gear that could feed you and your family for a year using common, easy applicable food procurement skills in any suburban backyard or forested wood lot. You will learn the skills that some of us old timers who are still kicking around will use for surviving long term and would like to be taught to the next generation. Things that are good to know, like how to take a cardboard box, a baking bag, a piece of string and catch your own dinner, cook it and boil and purify water using those three items. This book will teach you more than a few things you might not know yet, but you should for old fart survival purposes! Let us try to outlive and out think them young heathens or at least hang around long enough to teach them a better way to survive themselves!

The electrical grid is down in the United States due to terroristic physical and cyberattacks, and most of the world's infrastructure is failing rapidly. This an apocalyptic story of survival from the perspectives of several survivors trying to live through it and survive from the start of the disaster to eight months after. They must come together to form a community by their entrepreneurial efforts and networking. The disaster, starvation, and societal collapse in this dystopian world is seen through the eyes of a pair of older vacationers who just happen to get stranded at the beach. One of the vacationers happens to be a prepper fiction author who finds himself living the same nightmares he writes about. Facing the dangers of being homeless in a world without electricity or rule of law sucks when you get old. It also ain't no fun for the young, or is it? Disasters, disillusionment, and displacement! What you know can save you, what you don't know can kill you! The survivors assembled from the first two books of this prepper-oriented disaster recovery and community renewal series sets about using their plans of trading salvaged goods for chickens and eggs. Bartering is an art, not everyone can do it well, but what do you do when a fox tells you to build him a hen house so that you both may profit? Come join me on this sometimes funny, but always informative and entertaining, post-apocalyptic, action-filled adventure filled with survivalist twists and trading post turns along with a focus on a preppers-applied philosophy of air rifle survival hunting and food procurement tactics.

Most boys love pocket knives, and Billy was no exception. The only thing Billy loved more was birthdays and the beauty and charms that an Army Navy surplus store possessed for him. Today was his special day and he had just come of age to join the Boy Scouts. Tomorrow he was going away to summer camp with his best friend and little did they know it but that is where their survival adventure and education would begin. Things get a bit crazy when what used to be their Den Mother, becomes their Scout Master, and while giving the boys a ride to camp the car suddenly breaks down in the woods with them and her Girl Scout niece. The area they get stuck in is an old Boy Scout camp by the lake that had recently been destroyed by a tornado. No cell phones, no power, no water, no tents. The oddly matched four must survive until rescue comes. This a fun audiobook that humorously entertains while making you think more about survival in the woods and life’s lessons for yourself. The audiobook also includes a few survival tips and tricks like how to build a minnow trap out of a pop bottle.
