Table of Contents

So here we are, in the midst of a global pandemic. Youre quarantined in your home somewhere in the world, feeling that eerie mix of calm and panic. Its a concoction that makes your throat dry and your chest feel like its about to explode. Or are those just symptoms of something more sinister?

The grocery stores have been all but emptied. Your favorite bar was boarded up after some hooligans raided it two nights prior. Theres a church ten blocks away still serving chicken stew in Styrofoam bowls, but the police are standing by, keeping people from trampling one another. The police are enforcing curfew now too. No ones allowed out of their homes unless its on the way to the hospital or the morgue. Things are bleak. Too bleak.

Youre wondering if now is the time to start preparing for the end. Youve got a few cans of expired ham and beans, some rotten-looking potatoes, and a purple onion that has lived in this apartment longer than you have. Well, people have survived on less, right?

What if you could rewind to the time just before people were panic-buying in your city? To the time when the news showed more than just the death toll. You might have found this book right on time. After all, it is never too late or too complicated, or too crazy to prepare. Preparation takes no more strength than going grocery shopping. Preparation takes no more time than it takes to fill a backpack. Preparation takes no more knowledge than it takes to flip a page.

In what follows, you will find a comprehensive guide to stocking your shelves, gathering your team, and steeling your mind. For you will find that preparation is all about mentality.

Panic is a sickness. It kills more people than a virus or a fire or a flood ever could. Panic makes us think that guns are more important than food. It makes us trample over other people just to get to what we need. It makes us throw money at products or gadgets that we think might save us instead of learning how to take care of ourselves. Panic makes us stupid. Stupidity is deadly.

How do we avoid panic? The only cure for panic is preparation. If you have spent all your time thinking about solutions to hypothetical situations, then you are unlikely to fall victim to victimhood-mentality. Preparation is about being positive that you will have not only the necessities for survival, but also the purpose to move forward, the reason to keep pushing, keep adapting, keep thriving. Preparation ensures that your focus is always on how to make the most out of a bad situation, rather than facing that situation without any plan at all.

It is not outlandish, or conspiracy theorist, or overly zealous to prepare for a natural or manmade disaster. It is a basic facet of human evolution. In much the same way our predecessors had to prepare for a hunt or a war, you prepare for a job interview or an exam. We run scenarios through our mind, readying our body for the task at hand. The greatest test of our lives comes from the need to survive and if you are reading this then you understand your part to play in any extreme emergency.

Its not about trying to collect everything you can in a wild fear of what the future might bring. Its about focusing on what you can do in this moment to maintain health and normalcy regardless of the future. More than that though, its about equipping yourself so that you can better serve your family, your friends, and your community.

As a husband and father of four, Ive come to know the importance of community and cooperation. My family has been a part of our local Preppers Group for over twenty years now. My wife thought I had lost it when I suggested we join, but when Katrina hit, she was happy to have her bug-out bag on her back and all six of us in the van headed to her sisters house before we were called to evacuate.

My boys have all grown up knowing the importance of self-sufficiency, but also the importance of helping others. They have been at my side on multiple occasions, laying sandbags or clearing rubble, spreading awareness and even getting their friends to join. One of my proudest moments was when my sons friend, Andrew, came running up to me just to show me the fire-escape plan hed drawn up for his family.

In all my 62 years, Ive seen countless examples of how people rise up to help their fellow man, but no one can do that unless they first know how to help themselves. Thats why its essential that you soak in all the information in this book and put into practice what I teach you. By removing your own anxieties through active organization, you can be better able to support others in an emergency.

One thing you wont find in any other survival guide is that sense of togetherness that comes with a disaster. You only ever find fear-driven advice that tells you to keep to yourself and trust no one. You only ever hear about the horrible looting and hoarding that goes on and how being prepared might make you a target to be mugged or killed. In my experience, a real survival situation like we had with Katrina and Rita, and then again with Harvey, requires the mentality and conviction of heroes. If I can inspire just one more person to stop hoarding toilet paper and start preserving food properly, then Ill be satisfied. Im not saying that a survival situation is going to be all strawberries and sunshine, but if your every interaction is going to be fear-driven, youll be hard-pressed to work out any disputes or alliances.

So, here in this book, I will teach you how to prepare yourself, yes, but I will also challenge you to become a leader in your community. I will challenge you to be disciplined and kind unless youre left with no other choice. Regardless of what you read in Dawkins book, our species has evolved not through our warring and self-serving ways, but through our innovation, collaboration and adaptation to hardships. As a team, you can move forward through pandemics, floods, fires, earthquakes, or whatever disaster flies your way.
