Overview

For readers of SAS Survival Handbook and A Navy Seal’s Bug-In Guide—Ky Furneaux, one of the world’s most elite survival experts, presents the ultimate “bug-in” guide for preparing your home to be a fortress where you can shelter in place, stockpile resources, maintain security, and survive and thrive in any disaster scenario, everywhere from rural to urban environments.

In The Ultimate Bug-In Survival Guide, seasoned survivalist and wilderness expert Ky Furneaux delivers the definitive step-by-step playbook for sheltering in place when the grid goes down, supply chains collapse, or crisis descends on your community. Grounded in real-world survival principles, this comprehensive guide walks you through the critical first ninety days after a disaster:

• PREPPING: Understand your “context”—what prepping means for you in your specific situation, be it rural, urban, or everything in between. Train your family in essential, life-saving skills; budget for and identify the resources you’ll need; start building your stockpile of food, water, and medicine; and fortify your home.
• THE FIRST 24 HOURS: Identify your response to an immediate threat; run through threat assessment checklists that will help you navigate a path forward; set up communication systems; and stabilize after the crisis by establishing food and water systems, medical response protocols, hygiene practices, and addressing mental and emotional resilience.
• SUSTAINED SURVIVAL: Ensure that your family’s personal and physical security remains stable after the crisis and through recovery; maintain shelter, food, and waste management systems without utility infrastructure; and create community support groups.
• SUSTAINED RESILIENCE: Learn how to manage resources that begin to dwindle if the crisis persists beyond days and into weeks (and beyond) and begin rebuilding while you wait for society to catch up.

Featuring foolproof worksheets and checklists to help you prepare and stay ahead of any situation—from natural disasters to cyberattacks to the next pandemic—The Ultimate Bug-In Survival Guide transforms you and your family into a cohesive unit inside your own personal stronghold, ready for whatever’s coming.
