Publisher Description
Gain the basic skills you'd need to live through a cataclysmic event—one humbling and angst-filled lesson at a time
We're inundated daily with images of chaos and catastrophe from movies, books, and the nightly news. When Sam Sheridan became a father, these tales of disaster became impossible to ignore, and he was beset with nightmares about being unable to protect his son. He soon realized, however, that each possible doomsday scenario required a different skillset, and in order to really survive the apocalypse, he'd have to learn everything, from starting a fire to stealing a car, learning to fight with a knife, and even building an igloo. With just the right mix of seriousness, paranoia, and self-deprecation, The Disaster Diaries is irresistible armchair adventure reading that informs as much as it entertains.
Customer Reviews
Levelheaded and informative...
Levelheaded and informative approach to survival skills, which is a refreshing change from the extreme and misguided "preppers" you see on TV and the internet.
The Disaster Diaries
I was curious initially. My curiosity quickly evolved into fascination with the dual narrative. The author truly shows great respect and commitment for the premise, without being overly dramatic; truly a task for such a wide ranging experience. Having worked in several of the disciplines that the author highlights, I can attest to the accuracy of his commentary. A thought provoking read, start to finish.
awesome awesome awesome!
refreshing, straight forward and hilarious.
There were more than a few times I started laughing hard enough that people thought I must be nuts.
But the information is bullet proof and straightforward great. It focuses on prioritizing in all situations and just really looking at what’s important.
Done with the approach of not to serious situations makes it a lot more fun.
