In 1914 it took only one man to drop the whole world smack-bang into a devastating war. Millions died so brutally, you cannot possibly imagine it.
In 1939 it again took only one guy to make one wrong decision, to drop the world smack-bang into the Second World War. 60 million people died, and a billion or more's lives were scarred forever. In Germany during an air raid on Dresden, poisonous snakes sailed out from underneath destroyed buildings looking for protection at the side of the German civilians laying flat down in parks, scared out of their reptilian minds for the hell coming from above. The world had gone mad if even snakes had to sought cover from humans, from other humans.
But the world forget. One thing we learned from history, is that we do not learn from history.
And now it's more than 70 years later, and every second world leader and politician wants to show what a tiger he is. In 1945 the whole world had only 2 nuclear bombs. Here in 2018 around ten countries - of which half are politically unstable - have arsenals full of nuclear bombs several times more powerful than the two America had in 1945. Experts estimate that up to a whopping 42 000 nuclear bombs are laying ready to be launched to destroy entire cities in the blink of an eye. Earth doesn't even have that many cities, and you only need one to wipe out a large city and damage several more.
It will take only one nut, like the North Korean leader, or a terrorist cell, to drop the world into the Third World War. And we all know terrorists will give every tooth they have to get their hands on a nuke.
But nuclear weapons may be the least of your worries.
It's not a question of if, it's a question of when, before a major disaster strikes. 9/11 was just the training grounds. Since then terrorism spawned like a mighty unstoppable weed.
Disaster strikes literally in seconds, we know that. And the odds are 100% that it will affect you, during your lifetime, and this time it may be worse than your worst nightmare could have dreamt up. 50 years ago running out of sugar was a disaster, but today it's you running out of cover.
Floods. Solar bursts that kicks out the electric grid. Military law. Sudden political unrest. Civil war. A biochemical attack. Poisoned water sources. Passenger jets' computer systems getting hacked by a terror group, with many of those gaint metal birds starting to fall out of the sky onto your town. A virus outbreak that eats penicillin for breakfast. And more. But every time people will panic and run over you to save themselves. We had become so interconnected that a disaster hundreds of miles from you, heck, even on another continent, may have a disastrous effect on you.
How prepared are you really? Having a fully-stocked first aid kit in the house means nothing if you don't know how to use it. What if you have to leave your home within twenty seconds during an earth quake, what will you do one hour after that, where will you be? Reliant on other people thinking about themselves first?
Frankly, the world today scares the shit out of me. Politicians had become corrupt to the highest degree, power-hungry and money-hungry to an obscene level. The elite robs society blind around every corner more than ever before. Some decades ago you could count on your neighbor for help during a crisis. Today, do you even know your neighbor's surname?
I was never like this. I was an optimist full of hope for planet Earth. But seeing how people react during crisis when everyone is in panic-mode made me aware of how unprepared most people are. They cannot even help themselves, how do you think they'll be able to help you? Disasters today are bigger than two decades ago, more people each with their own agenda are involved. And they feel a crap for you. The rich are the ones who will survive, they can afford the deepest bunkers. If they have enough warning, that is. What about you?
So, scraping some of my former optimism together, I started looking into possible solutions for what to do when the unexpected happens. The first thing is, knowledge about survival methods are crucial. And you may not be able to google it when disaster strikes, you need to get that info in your head now.
I therefore obtained a brilliant, superb collection of the best prepping and survival books out there, and I want you to read them too. Even if you just browse through them, and ooh and aah over some of the incredible ways to filter water or make a fire or find food, it most certainly won't be a waste of your time. In fact, the methods explained in each book is aimed at saving your life.
Therefore, you would want to download these books and at least flip through them. You are guaranteed to learn some amazing tricks, even for everyday use.
