Going beyond a standard 72-hour bug out bag, this book shows you how to outfit escape vehicles and retreats in order to be able to survive for days, weeks or even months without civilization. Projects include outfitting a station wagon, converting an RV and building secure shelters from shipping containers. When cataclysmic disaster strikes, the wise few who have planned ahead will be able to quickly execute their bug out and survive unscathed. The masses left behind will be lucky to survive at all. As inevitable but unstoppable as the floods that swept New Orleans and the earthquake that shattered Haiti, life-threatening disasters require a plan - one that foresees both a speedy escape as well as days, weeks or even months living on one's own. Leaving nothing to chance, this intricately detailed guide shows readers how to prepare vital supplies, determine a safe bivouac location, outfit an automobile for emergency transport and long term occupancy, and even build the ideal shelter for any size family.
