In short, this survival guide is for Ôthe rest of usÕ. IÕm not a Navy SEAL, IÕm not a Green Beret, but I had to learn the core elements of advanced survival to do my job as an aircrewman deployed on the NavyÕs last tactical carrier-based jets that required an enlisted member for its permanent flight crew. I served on multiple continents and in Somalia I witnessed the horrors of life without the rule of law firsthand. Readers will leverage lessons learned from a military mindset and life as a private investigator working high risk cases, to Ôstack the deckÕ against death.
The preparation and readiness (P&R) philosophy presented creates a lifestyle everyone can follow. Read lessons from my personal experience of 30 years as a lightweight backpacker, a lifelong outdoorsman, within the military, as a rural and urban investigator, and most recently, teaching practical 'Bugout 101' style classes within a fast growing segment of the survival community.
