Download or read book Dirt Cheap Survival Retreat written by M.D. Creekmore and published by Paladin Press. This book was released on 2011-03-01 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The standard survival retreat advice has always been to find a remote place in Idaho or Montana, with at least 20 acres, a 2,000-square-foot log cabin and a bunker underneath, a barn, pastureland, and a stream running through the property. But how many of us can afford such a spread without a crippling mortgage? If you can't make the hefty payments on your survival retreat, the bankers will evict you, leaving you worse off than those who failed to prepare in the first place. M.D. Creekmore's motivation for finding a low-cost retreat was the need to live on a lot less money after he lost his job and got divorced. He started living in a travel trailer, parked on two acres he'd bought a few years back to use as a campsite and bug-out location, never dreaming he'd be living there full time. But he has called his trailer home for the past four years and says that "for the first time in my life, I'm actually content." Living off the grid in a travel trailer isn't for everyone. But if you are looking for a way to own a debt-free home—and enjoy the security that comes with it—here's the author's dirt-cheap plan for finding suitable land; buying a used trailer; securing it against the elements and intruders; providing alternative power sources; dealing with water and waste issues; maximizing your space; and establishing a workable storage system for food, water, medicine, tools, and other equipment. The good news is that the author has done the hard part for you.

But how many of us can afford such a spread without a crippling mortgage? If you can't make the hefty payments on your survival retreat, the bankers will evict you, leaving you worse off than those who failed to prepare in the first place. My motivation for finding a building a low-cost survival retreat/homestead was the need to live on a lot less money after I lost my job and got divorced. I started living in a travel trailer, parked on two acres I'd bought a few years back to use as a campsite and bug-out location, never dreaming I'd be living there fulltime. However, I called the travel trailer and property home for nearly five years and was content. During that time I lived cheaply and saved money until I had enough to buy a house on three acres of land that I now call home. The Dirt-Cheap Survival Retreat can be a permanent living arrangement or one to use temporarily while you save money for buying or building your perfect survival homestead. Living off the grid in a travel trailer isn't for everyone. But if you are looking for a way to own a debt-free home-and enjoy the security that comes with it-here's the my dirt-cheap plan for finding suitable land; buying a used trailer; securing it against the elements and intruders; providing alternative power sources; dealing with water and waste issues; maximizing your space; and establishing a workable storage system for food, water, medicine, tools, and other equipment.

This book was released on 2017-06 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What will you do when the power has been out for weeks or longer, and the crowds come to your house? Will you be able to protect yourself and your family, and keep your supplies from being taken from you? You may find yourself woefully outnumbered, and you will wish that you had a survival retreat, out in the country, to which you and your family had gone when the SHTF. The good news is that obtaining a survival retreat is not as expensive nor as difficult as you might think. In this book, Cal Wilson relates his own experiences with buying and preparing his survival retreat in the country. Wilson discusses issues he had with his property like the discounted costs per acre in the country verses comparable costs in the city, easy financing of country properties, the cheapest and quickest ways to get a dwelling on your property, off-grid power, the importance of having a good front gate and stable roads, ways to coordinate a survival team, tips on dealing with contractors and lawyers, and other important survival retreat issues. As always, Wilson writes in an easy-to-understand, folksy and at times humorous manner while getting his points across. His last non-fiction book, Dirt Cheap Valuable Prepping, was heralded by reviewers as "very readable," fun" and "with lots of humor." This book will entertain you as well, while you learn the important facts about getting and preparing your own survival retreat.

Download or read book Survival Guns written by Mel Tappan and published by Paladin Press. This book was released on 2009-11-01 with total page 480 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When he wrote Survival Guns in 1979, Mel Tappan demonstrated that having the right weapons for securing food and providing personal defense is the key to sustaining life on an independent basis, whether or not a catastrophe occurs. This is even more true today. Survival Guns became the standard in its own time and went through several printings. When it finally went out of print, it graduated from a classic to a sought-after collector's item, because the principles and advice in this well-reasoned volume are sound and perennially valuable. Some new guns and some new calibers have become available since this book was first published, but its principles, advice, and value remain unchanged. Having more choices only increases the value of advice on how to choose what is best for you. As used copies of this book became harder and harder to find, Paladin received numerous requests to bring Tappan's classic back into print. We are pleased to make the most well-known survival firearms book ever published available once more to a new generation of concerned citizens facing the same threats Tappan chronicled during his lifetime. Survival Guns remains the definitive book for anyone interested in the practical use of firearms and related weapons for defense, food gathering, and predator and pest control under conditions of long-term, self-sufficient living.

Book excerpt: In a near-future New York City in which both global warming and a tremendous economic divide are making the city unlivable for many, a huge superstorm hits, leaving behind only those who had nowhere else to go and no way to get out. Makayla is a twenty-four-year-old woman who works at the convenience store chain that’s taken over the city. Jesse, an eighteen-year-old, genderqueer, anarchist punk lives in an abandoned IRT station in the Bronx. Their paths cross in the aftermath of the storm when they, along with others devastated by the loss of their homes, carve out a small sanctuary in an abandoned luxury condo. In an attempt to bring hope to those who feel forsaken, an unnamed, mysterious street artist begins graffitiing colorful murals along the sides of buildings. But the castaways of the storm aren’t the only ones who find beauty in the art. When the media begins broadcasting the emergence of the murals and one appears on the building Makayla, Jesse, and their friends are living in, it is only a matter of time before those who own the building come back to claim what is theirs. All City is more than a novel, it’s a foreshadowing of the world to come.

Book excerpt: AN NPR BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR • An absorbing, deeply felt book about our anxious present tense—and coming to grips with the future, by the author of the award-winning To Be a Machine. “Deeply funny and life-affirming, with a warm, generous outlook even on the most challenging of subjects.” —Esquire We’re alive in a time of worst-case scenarios: The weather has gone uncanny. A pandemic draws our global community to a halt. Everywhere you look there’s an omen, a joke whose punchline is the end of the world. How is a person supposed to live in the shadow of such a grim future? What might it be like to live through the worst? And what on earth is anybody doing about it? Dublin-based writer Mark O’Connell is consumed by these questions—and, as the father of two young children, he finds them increasingly urgent. In Notes from an Apocalypse, he crosses the globe in pursuit of answers. He tours survival bunkers in South Dakota. He ventures to New Zealand, a favored retreat of billionaires banking on civilization’s collapse. He engages with would-be Mars colonists, preppers, right-wing conspiracists. And he bears witness to places, like Chernobyl, that the future has already visited—real-life portraits of the end of the world as we know it. What emerges is an absorbing, funny, and deeply felt book about our anxious present tense—and coming to grips with what’s ahead.
