How to Survive Anything

From the Wilderness to Man Made Disasters

I recently wrote a book titled 33 Incredible Real Life Survival Stories which caused me to be amazed at how people have the persistence to live when confronted by dangerous and deadly situations. I’m an old student of survival; first in my experiences with the Boy Scouts, and then my experiences as an adult backpacker and general sports activities.

There are other books out there by Special Forces operators, and they prescribe lots of useful information. In this book, I’ve included a lot of that type of survival information, but I also wanted to take a little different approach.

The Boy Scouts have been part of my life since I was a kid. I was a Cub Scout, a Boy Scout, a scouting Eagle Scout, and later, Scoutmaster, and assistant Scoutmaster. Later on I also became a member of the Knoxville, Tennessee Volunteer Rescue Squad, and a private pilot among many other things.

There is something to be said about the gradual acquiring of knowledge about survival and how it applies to how we live our lives. So I’ve taken that approach in this book - starting with morals, principles, and the spiritual aspects of survival, to the practical knowledge, and then how that information can be generalized to most situations.

You can also bet that most military survival experts, SEALs, and other Special Forces were probably Boy Scouts growing up, too.

Most of them got their basis for survival skills and leadership skills in the Boy Scouts. The Scout Motto is “Be Prepared”, and planning ahead is essential for surviving unexpected situations. Therefore, in this book we will give you a lot of lists of things you should get as emergency supplies and what skills to know to survive.

The things you will learn about in this book are much of what we learned in the Scouts, but we will be taking a deeper cut into the details.
