INTERNET GUIDE TO SURVIVAL AND SELF-RELIANCE

While many books teach hard-core survival skills, they ignore the importance of the quality-of-life issues that face people cut off from access to stores and utilities for lengthy periods (whether it’s because of an emergency or by choice). Learn how to provide for food, water, shelter and defense; grow and preserve fruits and vegetables; harvest wild foods; make booze; craft fishing nets, candles and pottery; build and repair electrical and mechanical devices; harness solar, wind and hydro power; save money on just about everything; set up an emergency communications network and much more.

Whether you’d just like to build a backyard geodesic dome for the kids, tinker with solar cells and biodiesel, or build a log cabin in the woods and live completely off the grid, this book will spark your imagination and provide you with hours of enjoyment. 5 1/2 x 8 1/2, softcover, photos, 224 pp.

When not preparing for TEOTWAWKI, Rich Gray splits his time between writing, Web design and his new daughter, Emma. What was the motivation for this book? “The Internet is an unprecedented resource for the dissemination of information on topics – such as survivalism and self-reliance – that the mainstream media tend to ignore. Entering either term in the search engine of your choice will return tens, if not hundreds, of thousands of hits. I want to help people get to the best material in the least amount of time. The book also serves as a ‘primer’ on many of the areas covered under both, with a variety of hints and tips to get you started down the road to fending for yourself.”
