About this ebook

Learn to prep your home and family to survive sudden catastrophe—from floods and fires to pandemics and terror attacks—with this practical guide.
 
Cataclysmic events strike sleepy towns and major cities every year. Ordinary residents suddenly find themselves in scenarios where they must evacuate immediately or perishing in rising waters, raging fires, or other life-threatening conditions. Being prepared makes the difference between survival and disaster.
Guiding you step by step, Bug Out tells you how to be ready at a second's notice:

·       Create an escape plan for where to go and how to get there
·       Pack the perfect bug-out bag for the first 72 hours
·       Find food, water, and other necessities outside of civilization

Bug Out also includes detailed information on the best escape locations everywhere in the U.S., from the Pacific and Atlantic coasts to the Rocky Mountains, the Desert Southwest, the Heartland, the Gulf Coast, the Appalachians, and the Lakes and Big Woods of the North.

About the author

Scott B. Williams is a writer with a passion for adventure. He draws on his extensive experiences as a sea kayaker, small boat sailor, boatbuilder and wilderness traveler to craft his works of fiction and nonfiction. He began writing about his long solo journeys in 1990, after spending the better part of two years sea kayaking alone from Florida through the islands of the Caribbean. The narrative of that kayak trip became his second book: On Island Time: Kayaking the Caribbean, published by University Press of Mississippi in 2005. In 2009, he began work on a series of survival nonfiction books for Ulysses Press, of Berkeley, California, and his bestselling Bug Out: The Complete Plan for Escaping a Catastrophic Disaster Before It's Too Late, was released in June, 2010. In 2011, Ulysses Press published Getting Out Alive: 13 Deadly Scenarios and How Others Survived, and Bug Out Vehicles and Shelters: Build and Outfit Your Life-Saving Escape. Williams' next book was his first novel, a post-Apocalyptic story built around a scenario in which massive solar flares destroy the power and communication grid in North America. The Pulse: A Novel of Surviving the Collapse of the Grid, was released by Ulysses Press in July, 2012. Williams is currently at work on two additional works of nonfiction related to survival and has plans for more novels. More information can be found on his website at: scottbwilliams.com
