A Navy Seal’s Bug-In Guide There are a lot of bug out guides out there, but this is probably the first ever BUG-IN Guide. And the truth is that for almost every crisis out there, that’s what makes the most sense! Except for a few unlikely cases like a raging wildfire or tornado barrelling straight for your house, bugging out is a very bad idea. Why would you ever want to leave your amazing home where you probably have a half full fridge, maybe some cans, a warm bed, a roof over your head, as well as neighbours you know, and terrain you’re familiar with, … only to run OUT THERE to some place you know nothing about and try to forage your daily meals? And maybe get 5 calories from some roots after spending 6 calories digging them up. Much better to Bug-In! But you need a guide, or else you might overlook vital things that you just won’t be able to get once a crisis is underway. Inside this unique 240-page physical book, former Navy Seal and BUD/S Instructor Joel Lambert will show you exactly what you need to stockpile and know to turn your house into the safest place on Earth. Unlike most other “survival experts” Joel has survived war and chaos from Iraq to Afghanistan, and other places you’ve probably never heard about. His survival knowledge, which you’ll find in the book, is not theoretical – it’s the purest form of practical. The stuff that actually saves lives and families once things go terribly bad, and there’s no more 911 to call. A Navy Seal’s Bug-In Guide is structured to cover the 10 areas that matter most when it comes to surviving long-term in your own home without any outside help: long-lasting food stockpile. generating your own power. survival knowledge . water reserves . post-shtf communication. survival intelligence. life-saving meds to always keep close. indispensable survival items. .

The immediate payoff of having these simple projects installed is that they make you independent and self-sufficient on your own property. You don’t want to depend on anyone for your basic survival needs! This book was written by Michael Major, a veteran, survivalist and self-taught DIY-er with decades of experience building completely unique projects that have already helped hundreds of people generate electricity, harvest and filter rainwater, grow and preserve food and natural remedies, set traps, stockpile fuel long-term and many…many others. As this is a physical book you can still have access to all the life-saving information inside even during a blackout or after an EMP. But the best thing you can do is add these simple projects to your property before something like that ever happens. Here are just a few of the projects you will find with complete sketches, materials and step-by-step instructions: Pressurized Rainwater Harvesting and Purification System: You will discover how to create an ingenious rainwater harvesting system capable of storing 165 gallons of water that would otherwise just go to waste. Because the water is stored vertically, it’s also pressurized by gravity, and you’ll be able to use it without a pump or siphon...

304 color pages, paperback, improved print quality, and a lot more plant identification details.

The Lost Book of Herbal Remedies has color pictures of over 181 healing plants, lichens, and mushrooms of North America (2-4 pictures/plant for easy identification). Inside, you will also discover 550 powerful natural remedies made from them for every one of your daily needs.

This book was made for people with no prior plant knowledge who are looking for alternative ways to help themselves or their families.

Let me just offer you a small glimpse of what you’ll find inside! On page 145, you will learn how to make a powerful “relieving” extract using a common backyard weed.
