Between terrorist attacks, natural disasters, economic collapse, wars, riot, disease and countless other threats, it's a dangerous world out there. Author Neil Strauss took a few years to learn all about being self-sufficient, testing his skills in the wild and remaking himself into a gun-toting, plane-flying, government-defying survivor - encountering an array of paranoid fantasies, crippling doubts, cult leaders, survivalist superheroes and ordinary citizens along the way. As interesting as a narrative as it is a manual, this book serves as a reminder that tomorrow doesn't come with a guarantee. Made in the USA. * Author: Neil Strauss; Publisher: Harper * Soft Cover; 432 Pages * 5.5"w, 8.1"h See less
