Survival Guide Review


I got the book "When All Hell Breaks Loose" by Cody Lundin yesterday and it is about the best reference for surviving whatever comes about I have seen. The reviews on the sale page are excellent but even those don't do it justice.

The author is probably the best qualified suvivalist around and he not only talks about survival but lives it everyday. He also teaches survivalism to some of the most prominent members of society in his courses.

Lundin not only covers most scenarios, but adds aspects that can't be found elsewhere. He teaches the psychological as well as the pysiological conditions required to get through the conditions that will start to come into view next week and be all too obvious in the coming weeks.

Other sources point to things getting progessively worse from this time on with everything coming to a head by mid summer. So, if you want to be fully prepared, be sure to read this book as it has many topics not covered elsewhere, which explain points that are sure to be essential to making it through for you and your family.

Here are some reviews from the order page.

From the Inside Flap Ever stay awake at night running through "what if" scenarios? Hurricanes, earthquakes, floods, famine, tornadoes, and terror . . . .Well, hold onto your gas masks, folks, survival guru and acclaimed author Cody Lundin is back with a no-holds-barred guide for surviving the next urban and suburban disaster! This isn't your father's boy scout manual or a FEMA handout. In his latest book, When All Hell Breaks Loose: Stuff You Need to Survive When Disaster Strikes, Lundin, founder and director of the internationally recognized Aboriginal Living Skills School, takes you on a wild ride into "self-reliant land" with an honest, blunt account of what every family needs in the home, office, or car to prepare for possible emergencies. From the basics such as shelter, water, food, survival kits, and first-aid, to survival exotics such as building a makeshift toilet, catching rodents for food, and safely disposing of a corpse, When All Hell Breaks Loose is the first book to concisely and humorously outline a simple survival system using everyday household items to survive catastrophes from Los Angeles to Paris and everywhere in between. Lundin also delves into the little understood realm of "cause and effect" and the creation of a self-reliant mind-set, unleashing essential psychological secrets vital for survival to keep you from falling into full-blown fear and panic. Lundin's presentation style is fresh, entertaining, and a bit irreverent. Spirited characters such as Vinny the (Uptown) Cockroach, Holy Cow, Robbie Rubbish, and others climb aboard to graphically show you how to prepare for the unexpected and help you remember important survival strategies while under great stress and anxiety. When All Hell Breaks Loose delivers home-tested techniques, tips, and tricks that will help anyone become more self-reliant in any situation. So ditch the fearmongering and paranoia, lower the shotgun, and immerse yourself in the most common-sense, in-your-face book on preparedness yet! Buy a copy for yourself and several for your friends and family too!

  1. This is cool. I will have to check this one out. Incidentally, the you mention that "conditions that will start to come into view next week.." An oil industry analyst that I know mentioned to me that the current spike in fuel prices at the pump is being attributed to our Dollar and its weakness instead of the usual production problems, world demand, etc. Could this be a symptom of what may be on the way? An opening indication of hyper-inflation and all the misery that comes with it? Great post John.

  2. BC, I think you would love this book. I noticed the price of gas here went from 2.41 to 2.79 in one day. So, I checked the price of oil and it was the same. I wondered about that because gas always goes up when oil does. So what you say makes sense. The death of the dollar and/or hyperinflation may very well be symptoms of the occurrance, whatever it is, that is to happen late on the 25th/early 26th.
