In Kurt Johnson's debut novel, Las Vegas Turnaround, readers are catapulted into the underbelly of 1980s Las Vegas. It's a world where not even the bright lights of the Strip can drive out the darkness that accompanies the whirlwind of drugs, prostitution, and violence. The latter finally gets the better of Claire, a street-smart escort who misjudges a customer once and pays for it dearly. After she's brutally raped and beaten, she wants out. She tries hard to build a calm, mainstream life, but it soon becomes clear that's an impossibility in this town. Her meathead brother-in-law, Wood, ...

But a week in, Holly, the risk-taker, falls while taking a selfie near the edge of a cliff. She is left injured and comatose, and soon dies.

Hugh is a dishonored psychologist and lonely widower traveling in an RV who abducts a woman simply for the companionship he believes will ensue. His victim is the fifties-something Josephine or Jo.

When the grid goes down, people panic about food, water, fuel, and communication. All valid concerns. But before any of that, there is a smaller, more humiliating problem no one wants to talk about. You. Specifically, your exposed, under prepared, suddenly very aware of the weather version of you. This book is about surviving from that starting point. No pockets. No tools. No layers. No illusion of control. Just you, your brain, and whatever environment you are standing in wondering how your life choices led here. Why Nudity Changes Everything Clothing hides mistakes. It protects skin. It ...

Ever wake up in the woods with no clothes, no gear, no phone, and no clue? No? Well, if it does happen, this book will keep your bare butt alive. How to Survive in the Outdoors... Nude is the hilariously honest, wildly useful survival guide you never knew you needed. Written by Kurt Johnson (family man, outdoorsman, and the unfortunate veteran of more than one half-naked wilderness adventure) this book delivers real-world survival skills with wit, grit, and just the right amount of sass. Whether you're skinny-dipping gone wrong, stranded after a camping fail, or just prepping for the most ...

I never planned to write a book about being naked in the woods. If I’m being honest, I never planned on thinking this much about it either. But once the idea got into my head, it wouldn’t leave. Probably because it’s one of those uncomfortable questions nobody wants to ask. What happens when everything goes wrong at the worst possible time… and you have absolutely nothing on you? No gear. No phone. No knife. No clothes. No dignity. This book exists because disasters don’t wait for you to put pants on. Fires happen at night. Accidents happen in the shower. Storms hit while you’re...

The world is loud, complicated, and full of people telling you that survival means buying more gear, more gadgets, and more tactical pants with pockets you will never use. But what if the real foundation of preparedness starts before all of that. What if the first tool you need to master is the one you were born in. In The Naked Prepper, husband, father, and reluctant philosopher of the bare skin lifestyle, Kurt Johnson, shares how losing his best friend led him to inherit a prepper bunker, a Dodge Ram, an HK USP .40, and a very unexpected philosophy of living. Through humor, honesty, and a...

Look, I get it. You’re the one who lies awake at night wondering what happens if the grid goes down for real. Not a blip, not a “honey, the WiFi’s acting up again” moment, but a real-deal, no-power, no-911, stores-cleared-out, chaos-in-the-streets kind of shutdown. And when that moment comes—and it very well might—the weight is going to fall squarely on your shoulders. Because if you're anything like me, you know that when stuff hits the fan, you're not just protecting yourself. You're protecting your wife, your kids, your home, and every single person who’s counting on you to...

Or: How I Ended Up Prepping in the Candy Aisle Next to a Singing Birthday Card I’m not too proud to admit it—I once bought a pack of glow sticks, a can of potted meat, a travel-sized sewing kit, and a plastic back scratcher all in one trip to the dollar store. The cashier didn’t even blink. Just slid it all across the scanner with that judgment-free professionalism you only find in folks who’ve seen weirder combinations on the regular. I smiled, paid $5.35 with tax, and walked out of there feeling like a dang prepper genius. See, I’m a big believer that survival doesn’t have to ...

Let’s be real: Toilet paper is one of those things we don’t really think about until it’s gone. We grab it at the store without a second thought, throw it in the cart, and forget about it until the next time we need it. But here’s the thing—if a crisis hits, or if stores are shut down for any reason, toilet paper can become incredibly hard to come by. And when that happens, you’ll be glad you’ve stocked up and thought ahead. Trust me. Now, I know what you’re thinking. “Toilet paper? Really?” Yes, really. It’s an essential. When you’re preparing for emergencies, ...

Water. It’s one of the most basic necessities for survival, yet it’s often the first thing people overlook when they think about prepping. We plan for food, shelter, security—but water? We just assume it’ll always be there. But in a disaster scenario, access to clean, safe water might be the first thing to go, and when it does, you’ll realize just how crucial it is. Imagine a world where the taps stop running, the bottled water shelves are empty, and the filtration systems are down. That’s not a situation you want to find yourself in without a plan. Having a reliable water ...

Let’s clear something up immediately. If you ever find yourself naked in the desert, you did not make one bad decision. You made a series of perfectly reasonable decisions that ended very poorly, all at once. The desert does not announce itself with drama. It does not scream. It does not rush you. It simply waits while you make assumptions, and then it charges interest on every one of them. This book exists because the desert is uniquely unforgiving, especially when you are nude, exposed, and suddenly very aware of how thin human skin actually is. The Desert Is Not Just “Hot Woods” ...

If the idea of bugging out without a single thread on your body sounds insane, hilarious, or oddly intriguing… you’re in exactly the right place. This book is your no-nonsense, laugh-out-loud, surprisingly practical guide to surviving disaster when all you’ve got is your skin, your instincts, and your ability to power through chaos with dignity hanging on by the thinnest possible thread. Written in Kurt Johnson’s signature conversational, witty, brutally honest voice, Bugging Out Naked! shows you how to stay safe, warm, hydrated, sheltered, fed, and alive when the world melts down ...

We have not seen a moment in history quite like this one. It is a moment of choice to support an evolutionary leap.

Look, I know the title sounds like something you’d find scribbled on the wall of a truck stop bathroom at 2am, but camping naked is actually a thing. I’m not saying it should be your new lifestyle or that you need to go full mountain hermit without pants. I’m just saying there’s something oddly freeing and surprisingly practical about stripping away all the extra stuff we drag with us into the woods. Clothes are great, sure, but sometimes they turn into one more thing to manage. One more thing to wash. One more thing that gets drenched in creek water after I misjudge the depth again...
