About this listen

If you're looking for information on how to prepare for a short-term natural disaster, this is not the book for you.

Best-selling author Jonathan Hollerman will present evidence that America as we know it could be destroyed in the near future from the loss of America's electric grid or other societal collapse scenarios. Many preparedness "experts" severely underestimate the threat posed by millions of starving, desperate people and offer dangerous advice because of it.

This preparedness guide will help you develop a plan to escape the deadly rioting and looting, showing you where you can take your family to keep them safe, even if you can't afford a fully-stocked survival retreat. Hollerman's in-depth expertise and recommendations will cover many topics including bug-out bags, SHTF Weapons, tactical gear, survival tools, knives, long-term food storage, livestock, bug-out locations, survival retreat recommendations, and much more.

Featured Article: The 20 Best Survival Audiobooks for the Prepper in All of Us


Whether we’re focused on the apocalypse or just an ill-timed breakdown on the side of a particularly remote road, there’s something about imagining survival scenarios that can be addictive. On some level, we all wonder if we would have what it takes to pit ourselves against the worst the world can possibly offer and make it out alive. That’s why it’s no surprise that survival literature is so popular, and that the stories in the genre are so diverse.

One of the best survival books ever

Over the past 30 years I've read literally dozens of survival books. Without a doubt this is one of the top five I've ever read. Jonathan pulls no punches and tells it like it is. I've spent over 30 years in the security industry and I would recommend this book to anyone.

Lots of good info

This is the first survival book I have read/heard. At first, I was disappointed because all I was hearing was how impossible it would be to do anything meaningful. It is not until the second half of the book that the author starts getting into strategies and detail. I could do without the religion and repeated self-promotion. Overall, I found the book helpful and took useful notes.

Best written of this genre

Some books are lists and some books are stories. This one is neither. Some don't give you enough details on the tools and others give you so much that you can't comprehend it. So I'm only give you a higher and options and others only low-end options. In this genre, this book sits perfectly in the middle as far as information goes which is why it gets five stars for me. It is 100% practical and reality-based with explanations for all of it. The book rarely takes a hard line approach to any of the items in tactics listed on the last the author 100% believes that is the only option. The book is written open ended enough for you to interpret your situation instead of telling you what you must have. There is great information in this book and it is definitely the best read so far for me in this category.

Great all around reality check.

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Yes, Jonathan has a very realistic view and makes good points, even to someone seasoned in preparedness. This book helped me check my opinions and ideas for comparison. I think it is a great book for a beginner looking to get started and would save them a ton of money in buying mistakes of gear and ideas.

Best Survival Book I've Come Across

This is my 3rd survival/prepping type book. The others were Ron Hunt's Survival Prepping: Essential Guide for Preppers, and Small Footprint Press': The Prepper's Long Term Survival Handbook & Off Grid Living. While the others provided some decent information, I found Survival Theory to without a doubt to have been a much better and well rounded book of useful information. Maybe there are better books out there, but I have not come across one yet. Do what you want, but I would not let the negative reviews keep you away if this is something that interests you. And if you don't like it, you have 365 days to return it with no questions asked. Also, I did not find it to be too "preachy" myself, but I can see how some who are "sensitive" to such things might not have an appreciation for the very last chapter. To each his own. This is EXACTLY the type of book I was looking for.

I do wish that it come with a pdf reference sheet.
