Emergency: This Book Will Save Your Life by Neil Straus

I read this book after the financial crisis in 2007 when I thought the world as I knew it was falling apart. I did nothing. I reread this book after the pandemic and planned on doing something. It's hard to read this and not want to improve your survivor skills. The author Neil Strauss transforms from a helpless urban dweller to an independent survivalist. It's a first-hand account of how to train for complete autonomy should society as we know it collapses; in light of any of the recent crises we've all encountered, from tsunamis, hurricanes, and financial meltdowns, it's not so hard. Author Neil Strauss likes to penetrate subcultures and bring readers along for the journey. This book is a blueprint for beginning to make yourself self-reliant. It's worth reading, as your life could depend on it! He says, "What can you do when it all hits the fan? You can learn to be self-sufficient and survive without the system."
