Your electrical power fails due to a storm, terrorist attack, EMP or other catastrophe. Hyperinflation leads to an economic collapse and food and medical supplies stop flowing to the cities. A pandemic spreads death around the globe.

This book offers specific, practical advice and instruction, as well as general guidelines you will have to tailor to your unique circumstances, to help you keep your family as relatively secure as possible. You will learn what to stock up on, what skills you should endeavor to acquire, and what actions you must take to give your family a chance at surviving the disaster and chaos that may strike at any time.

What if help isn’t coming? What if you have nowhere to go that is more safe and secure than your own home? What if bridges are down or highways clogged with stalled vehicles and you are forced to stay home? How would you provide for your family? How would you protect them?

If you have ever entertained those questions, this is the book for you.

Clara's Kitchen is a good source. During the depression they would gather dandelion greens on the way home, kept hens in the back yard, etc.

What does this book say about maintaining security in a suburban home? Most houses are little more than cardboard boxes wrapped in plastic and to close together to prevent incoming fire from adjacent properties.

The section on Security is almost 20 pages long so, no, I'm not going to post it all here. The book costs a whopping 99 cents on Amazon or you can get it for free by signing up for my newsletter on my author webpage.

Hundreds of hours of research and a lifetime of experience went into writing the book so, of course I'm trying to sell it. And at 99 cents a copy I figure I'll be rich by Tuesday, don't you agree?

It sounds like you're trying to give Wryter a hard time? Am I misunderstanding?

this is a book, not an article that can be summed up in a few paragraphs... regardless of who wrote it.

I've read some of Wryter's stuff, he's a good writer and a good guy, so if you are trying to be difficult, maybe don't?

Anyone who thinks SHTF can happen and lives in a city but has no plan to get out or has not purchased alternative property outside the city is of no concern to me. They failed to plan and take action and will perish due to poor decision making skills. One thing or another will get them.

Can you describe your experience as it relates to surviving in suburban locales during disaster and/or lawlessness?

there is a whole spectrum of SHTF where leaving in advance is unnecessary and as FerFAL pointed out, might be the wrong decision. In addition, there's a difference between "can happen" and "will happen". If you move to east, say to Limon, to get away, and live there 20 years with your family and they hated it the entire time, then YOU *caused* the SHTF.

Also, if you think Castle Rock is "outside" then I don't think you've thought it through.

You're B&W thinking is just a insufficient as you claim people living in the city is poor decision making.

I didn't know it was his book, I thought he was giving us a weak review.

So you NEVER go to a city for ANY reason? EVER? Just because you have property outside of the city does not guarantee that you will be on that property when the SHTF. And if ALL roads including off-road trails are impassible, that could mean you are stuck in the city. Unless of course you travel via a helecopter and assuming your helicopter will still fly afterwards.
I just found the post that confirmed my suspicion that your post was self-promotion.
IMO that's okay if you are upfront about it; instead the post came off as "I found a good book."

A condensation of years of research is probably worth the 99-cents, so I'll buy it and report back.

In my view bugging in and living in suburbia means; looking for a defensible structure or location, that can be commandeered. A fire resistive structure of some kind or at least a heavy masonry constructed building. Staying in a housing development is a non-starter.
Best wishes for your success Wryter. The "free preview" on Amazon convinced me to buy the Kindle version. I MIGHT go paperback after I complete my study. To most of us here, this will NOT be filled with "blinding revelations" and "cutting edge advice"--but this COULD BE an excellent gift for friends and neighbors who are CLUELESS, UNPREPARED, and OH-SO-TERRIBLY CONFIDENT THAT "LIFE WILL NEVER GET WORSE". IT WILL

The Kindle price is a PITTANCE, and I commend the author for his diligence in organizing and presenting an overview of a subject we either learn soon or perish not much later. Yes, it's coming, just that quickly.

Trying to steal a building sounds like an easy way to die or get imprisoned early. Ironically this will also land you in a heavy masonry building, maybe just not the kind you were looking for.

Choosing the right structure includes ease of requisition. Dying in a house in flames or one full of bullet holes has very few apealing attributes as well. When shtf and it is wrol; improvising is what will save you.
