Survival Guide - Prepare for...

Jordan Gunner

This is a 2-book combo, which has the following titles:
Book 1: When it all hits the fan, some know how to survive and some don’t. Knowledge and experience are at the root of survival in troubled times. We do not always know when those times come, so it can be useful to explore the possibilities of living off the grid, becoming independent, and living without water from the faucet, electricity, or internet.
In this book, we’ll touch on some of the most important elements of survival, such as:
· Creating water filters
· Getting clean, purified water.
· Staying cool during hot seasons without technology or airconditioning.
· Surviving in the winter and enduring extreme cold weather.
Book 2: In this short but informative book, we will focus on three essentials of survival skills:
First, we’ll talk about the best ways to purify water. This, alone, is something all people need to know. Water can make you sick or heal you and keep you alive. Knowing what you’re doing, is what will help you most.
Second, the book focuses on First Aid skills. If you ever get wounded, exhausted, dehydrated, or you encounter something like a sprained ankle or major bruise, what do you do? You rely on your knowledge and fix it! Learn how in this book!
Third, an emphasis is placed on finding water in the desert. Many misconceptions about this have been circling around on the internet. It is our mission to help you learn the truth: What works and what doesn’t.
Seek knowledge and you will survive!
