This book was written with solar power to the ear-bleeding, head-banging tunes of Vivaldi, Iron Maiden, Led Zeppelin, Bach, The Grateful Dead, Judas Priest, Mozart, Metallica, Handel, Lamb of God, Bob Marley, Rush, and many others.

T his book is gratefully dedicated to the Great Ones, and to every thought, feeling, and action, no matter how small, of encouraging harmony, freedom, courage, integrity, and truth for all Life. May the Earth's Light again shine as Freedom's Star and complete the Music of the Spheres.

MY INTENTION FOR THIS BOOK

T his book is written to remind people of their right to self-reliance within a world community and to offer them no-nonsense, home-tested tools and techniques toward the goal of obtaining greater peace, harmony, and independence during troubled times. It's based upon popular lectures and hands-on skills about self-reliance that I've taught to thousands of students around the nation. Using common sense and the hierarchal necessities of human psychology and physiology, When All Hell Breaks Loose concisely and humorously outlines the often simple steps needed for preparing a self-reliant home to survive urban and rural emergencies from Los Angeles to Paris and everything in between. My intention is to offer these "survival tools" in the most practical, affordable, simple, efficient, and realistic way as possible.

Don't assume to whip out this book while three feet of floodwater lingers in your living room and expect to be a happy camper. The information in this manual should be studied and used BEFORE the next emergency . It's too late to read the book on how to swim when the boat's going down. Proper advanced preparation can mean the difference between your living or dying. There is an old survival saying that's prudent to understand and follow: Proper Prior Planning Prevents Piss Poor Performance .

God

This is not a book based upon religious prophecy, dogma, or "end times." Regardless of your faith or lack of it, I'm betting that you reside within a human body that lives upon a physical planet. If this is true, you and your loved ones will benefit from the contents in this book whether Armageddon happens or not. That said, embracing and strengthening a personal and family spiritual path will deepen your connection with the Source, the only truly permanent supply on Earth.

Goosebumps

This is not a book based in fearmongering and paranoia. It doesn't matter what preparedness gear you have stored in your garage or buried in your backyard if you are too much of a mental and emotional basket case to use it. You will learn later in this book about the power of your attention. Whatever your attention focuses upon, you draw that quality into your life to act. Perhaps nothing is needed more in today's world than inner harmony consciously held by the individual. To be able to maintain and hold a harmonious attitude in the face of all things chaotic is true mastery. It is your biggest and best survival skill. Have faith and keep trying. This book is dedicated to your Divine right to think and act for you and your family's welfareand those serious about advancing on the path will remember that we are all "family" on this planet. Self-understanding and self-reliance minimize fear and manipulation, increase positive attitudes, and allow you to become one of the stronger links in the chain of humanity during times of turmoil.
