Grylls - The Prepper’s Long Term Survival Bible | 11 Books in 1

INTRODUCTION

If you toss a dart while blindfolded at a bookshop these days, you're much more than likely to strike anything related to survival. Prepping subjects abound on the shelves. To learn more about the importance of having additional batteries for flashlights and making sure you have the newest and greatest water filtration system, visit your favorite online bookshop.

However, things weren't always like this. Back in the day, at the heights of the Cold War, the only books about survival available were those that focused on wilderness survival techniques. That kind of stuff. Things like how to construct a debris house and start a fire till you can be rescued. We researched, and then we put our learnings into action. We assembled an unfathomable number of kits for survival in various forms, sizes, and combinations for our team. We learned how to do the shooting, filter water, and prepare food and supplies for a survival situation.

Fast forward a few decades, and preparation has risen to the level of public acceptance. It was only inevitable that authors of all stripes got on the metaphorical bandwagon as soon as this occurred. The vast majority of these books have been and continue to be fantastic resources, but several others have been less than perfect. Time and time again, the books and guides advise readers precisely what they should do until electricity is restored, some assistance comes, or until they can make their way back to civilization after being separated from society. Among the many lists of the bug-out bag items are instructions on how to fix a broken leg using a paracord and a stick and eighty-five different methods to create a fire and fix a broken leg.

But what if the power actually goes out and the lights never turn back on? Is it possible that there will never be any help? This long-term situation has always been absent in survival nonfiction, and it continues to be so now. Until now, that is. If you have it actually in your possession, this is the secret to surviving months, even years, after the original calamity. We intend to go much beyond bugging out and instead concentrate on being self-sufficient in the event of a catastrophic disaster. Of course, most of the information in this book is still relevant today, when things are as normal as they can be, as opposed to after EMP knocks down the power system from coast to coast and the country as a whole.

Look anywhere on a bookshelf if your primary interest is in being better prepared in the event of a power outage that lasts many days. Continue reading if, on the other hand, you are foresighted enough to recognize that a food stockpile sufficient to survive even a single month might not be sufficient to withstand the length of a pandemic. If civilization collapses around your ears and you are worried about how you will maintain your relatives alive and secure, this book is what you are looking for. Let's take a trek to the far end of the preparation path to see what we can find. Instead of delving into the blizzards, wind storms, and being stuck in the woods, we'll go straight into long-term survival preparation. Never fear; we will be there alongside you the whole time. We will make every effort to ensure that you do not get disoriented along the route.
