About the Book
In 2020, we saw some amazing acts of human kindness in response to the global COVID-19 pandemic. Thousands of people with sewing skills created handmade masks for healthcare workers. People with 3D printers created face shields, respirators, ventilator valves, ventilator splitters, valves turning snorkel masks into protective equipment for healthcare workers, and even safety goggles. University researchers began rapidly developing open-source ventilators which could be built using components from hardware stores. Distilleries switched from producing alcohol to hand sanitizer.
The ability of the human spirit to provide such assistance in hard times is truly amazing.
Unfortunately, I can't sew, I'm not very good with my 3D printer, and I don't own a distillery, although my great grandfather did used to help run a moonshine still during prohibition.
Inspired by all of the efforts to help everyone through the COVID-19 crisis, this book is a guide to help prepare for long-term hardships due to natural and man-made disasters. This is not the end-all guide to survival and preparedness, but instead a primer. This book will help you begin your journey into preparedness for not only short-term disasters, but weathering the long-term effects afterwards.
This book will always be available at no cost. However, if you wish to compensate the author for his work, please feel free to do so, or consider purchasing one of his other books.
