For those of you who liked 98.6 degrees: The Art of Keeping Your Ass Alive, Cody Lundin will have a new book out around September, When All Hell Breaks Loose: Stuff You Need To Survive When Disaster Strikes (Gibbs Smith, Publisher). It should be over 500 pages and the art work, like 98.6, is done by Russ Miller. Looking forward to this book...
Do you ever stay awake at night running through what if scenarios? In this age of on-the-spot disaster reporting, the human toll from natural disasters such as hurricanes, tornadoes, and tsunamis are evident in a way as never before. With some scientists positing that the impact of natural disasters will only increase, its more important than ever to have a survival plan in place.
When All Hell Breaks Loose: Stuff You Need To Survive When Disaster Strikes is a fun yet no-nonsense book detailing what every family needs to prepare for possible emergencies whether they are in the home, office, or car. Using common sense and the hierarchal necessities of human psychology and physiology, When All Hell Breaks Loose concisely and humorously outlines the often simple steps needed for preparing a self-reliant mind-set and home to survive urban and rural emergencies from Los Angeles to Paris and everything in between.
This is not your fathers scout manual or a sterile FEMA handout. The first half of the book entertains as it informs, describing how to maximize a survival mind-set necessary for self-reliance. Relevant quotes and tips are placed throughout the pages to help readers remember important survival strategies while under stress and anxiety.
The second half of the book gets down to the brass tacks of what it takes to survive a catastrophe. Lundin offers solutions for finding or creating potable water, storing super-nutritious foods, heating or cooling the home without conventional power, and creating alternative lighting options. Survival exotics such as building a makeshift toilet and composting the results, catching rodents for food, and safely disposing of a corpse are exclusives! The book also addresses basic first aid and hygiene skills, transportation options, and makes recommendations for survival kit items for the home, office, and car.
Cody Lundins expertise in practical self-reliance skills comes from a lifetime of personal experience, including designing his own off-the-grid, passive solar earth home in which he catches rain, composts wastes, and pays nothing for heating or cooling. Lundin is the founder and lead instructor at the Aboriginal Living Skills School in northern Arizona, which is dedicated to helping preserve and enrich lives through the preservation and instruction of traditional wilderness skills, primitive living and modern outdoor survival skills, and home preparedness. When not teaching for his own school, Cody is an adjunct faculty member at Yavapai College and a faculty member at the Ecosa Institute.
Lundin has been featured on NBCs Today Show, NBC News, and dozens of local television programs, as well as in USA Today, Field & Stream, Playboy, The San Francisco Chronicle, Arizona Republic, and Houston Chronicle, to name a few.
He has also appeared in media venues such as TV Guide, Dateline NBC, CBS News, Fox News, The Donny and Marie Show, The Discovery Channel, Lifetime Television, Good Morning Arizona, The Los Angeles Daily News, Esquire magazine, CBC Radio One in Canada, and 702 Talk Radio in Johannesburg, South Africa, as well as on the cover of Backpacker magazine.
Lundin has consulted for organizations such as National Geographic Television, PBS, The History Channel, The Travel Channel, the Federal Emergency Management Agency, the United States Forest Service, Copley News Service, and the British Broadcasting Corporation.
He is the author of 98.6 Degrees: The Art of Keeping Your Ass Alive! (Gibbs Smith, Publisher, 2003), which has sold more than 50,000 copies.
