Survival Theory

A Preparedness Guide

De: Jonathan Hollerman

Narrado por: Jim Pelletier

If you're looking for information on how to prepare for a short-term natural disaster, this is not the book for you.

Best-selling author Jonathan Hollerman will present evidence that America as we know it could be destroyed in the near future from the loss of America's electric grid or other societal collapse scenarios. Many preparedness "experts" severely underestimate the threat posed by millions of starving, desperate people and offer dangerous advice because of it.

This preparedness guide will help you develop a plan to escape the deadly rioting and looting, showing you where you can take your family to keep them safe, even if you can't afford a fully-stocked survival retreat. Hollerman's in-depth expertise and recommendations will cover many topics including bug-out bags, SHTF Weapons, tactical gear, survival tools, knives, long-term food storage, livestock, bug-out locations, survival retreat recommendations, and much more.

Great book

I really enjoyed this book. The information is straight forward and validated by the author's training and experience, not to mention the heavy research he did to complete this project.

I highly recommend it to everyone who has concerns about the future of our country and the safety of our families.

My 27 years of federal law enforcement and 22 years of military service tells me he is right on point!

Interesting And Straight-Forward

So...that was fascinating. Look I enjoyed the data driven by facts and not opinion. I already knew the straight numbers on worse case survival are bleak because civil society is fragile and most people are woefully unprepared. This is something I learned at the graduate level...and I still feel unprepared! Better off than most (statistically), but still under prepared. Everyone has to start somewhere and I am glad the author reiterated that point several times throughout the book. I urge people to listen to or read this book, take heed, and begin to take action or stay in action if already only prepared to the post local (short-term) disaster level.

Great advice from an expert in the field -

I picked this book up on a whim and was pleasantly surprised at the vast amount of knowledge Jonathan shares while being tongue-in-cheek about keeping expectations grounded in reality. The self-awareness around the realities of being prepared Jonathan possess make his explanations and scenarios easy to understand and helped me view potential life-or-death situations from new perspectives. The forte of this book without a doubt is Jonathan's angle on the psychological element human survival, something which other books sometimes underplay or outright ignore. I'm for sure going to pick up the sequel to this book as it seems like he double downs on this element. On a side note; the author warns you early on to take his opinions with a grain of salt - do this as you please as some of his personal opinions are quite just that.

Best Book For Preparedness!

All around best book for off grid and peppers. Loved it ! Will be recommending to friends and family!

By far the best on the subject I've come across

This is by far the best and most comprehensive look at how to prepare, or how well prepared you are to date. I've been a prepper on a budget since Y2K and spent 30 years in the military. This author made me rethink some of my existing plans... that's saying something!

Great advice from a Christian prepper.

Great book. I learned a lot, but Glocks still suck.
If you have not started prepping yet this book will give you the basics and a kick in the ass.

Must-Read for everyone!!!

This book is so full of useful, actionable advice and instruction that I wish I could give it 6 Stars instead of 5.

I have recommended this book to both friends and family members who aren’t what you’d call “preppers”, but several have changed their tune once realizing how close to disaster we are at any given time, especially nowadays.

Jonathan wrote in a clear, concise fashion that is easy enough for even the newest “preppers” can digest and follow. I certainly learned a ton of things and got to thinking in a whole new way about how to get my family ready to survive in a disaster or a time of lawlessness.

Best Survival Book I've Come Across

This is my 3rd survival/prepping type book. The others were Ron Hunt's Survival Prepping: Essential Guide for Preppers, and Small Footprint Press': The Prepper's Long Term Survival Handbook & Off Grid Living. While the others provided some decent information, I found Survival Theory to without a doubt to have been a much better and well rounded book of useful information. Maybe there are better books out there, but I have not come across one yet. Do what you want, but I would not let the negative reviews keep you away if this is something that interests you. And if you don't like it, you have 365 days to return it with no questions asked. Also, I did not find it to be too "preachy" myself, but I can see how some who are "sensitive" to such things might not have an appreciation for the very last chapter. To each his own. This is EXACTLY the type of book I was looking for.

I do wish that it come with a pdf reference sheet.

Going to Listen to this many times

Really great book and it is now on my hardcopy to buy list. Really great perspective

Good Book

It's a good book. Not a great book but definitely not waste of time or money. Last chapter dedicated to religious stories and beliefs which I did not expect. I learned new things from it, it also refreshed my memory and knowledge from other books. I RECOMMEND IT.
