Survival expert Cody Lundin's new book, When All Hell Breaks Loose: Stuff You Need to Survive When Disaster Strikes is what every family needs to prepare and educate themselves about survival psychology and the skills necessary to negotiate a disaster whether you are at home, in the office, or in your car.
The book entertains as it informs, describing how to maximize a survival mind-set necessary for maximum self-reliance. Lundin offers solutions for finding or creating potable water, storing foods, heating or cooling the home without conventional power, and creating alternative lighting options. Survival exotics such as building a makeshift toilet and composting the results, catching rodents for food, and safely disposing of a corpse are exclusives! Lundin also addresses basic first-aid and hygiene skills, and alternative communication and transportation ideas, as well as makes recommendations for a survival kit "go bag" for the home, office, or car in case of evacuation.
"When All Hell Breaks Loose breaks survival preparedness down into a common sense approach, although Cody's style is still "in your face."
