by Cody Lundin, Russ Miller

Ever stay awake at night running through "what if" scenarios? Hurricanes, earthquakes, floods, famine, tornadoes, and terror . . . .Well, hold onto your gas masks, folks, survival guru and acclaimed author Cody Lundin is back with a no-holds-barred guide for surviving the next urban and suburban disaster! This isn't your father's boy scout manual or a FEMA handout. In his latest book, "When All Hell Breaks Loose: Stuff You Need to Survive When Disaster Strikes," Lundin, founder and director of the internationally recognized Aboriginal Living Skills School, takes you on a wild ride into "self-reliant land" with an honest, blunt account of what every family needs in the home, office, or car to prepare for possible emergencies. From the basics such as shelter, water, food, survival kits, and first-aid, to survival exotics such as building a makeshift toilet, catching rodents for food, and safely disposing of a corpse, "When All Hell Breaks Loose" is the first book to concisely and humorously outline a simple survival system using everyday household items to survive catastrophes from Los Angeles to Paris and everywhere in between.
Lundin also delves into the little understood realm of "cause and effect" and the creation of a self-reliant mind-set, unleashing essential psychological secrets vital for survival to keep you from falling into full-blown fear and panic. Lundin's presentation style is fresh, entertaining, and a bit irreverent. Spirited characters such as Vinny the (Uptown) Cockroach, Holy Cow, Robbie Rubbish, and others climb aboard to graphically show you how to prepare for the unexpected and help you remember important survival strategies while under great stress andanxiety.
"When All Hell Breaks Loose" delivers home-tested techniques, tips, and tricks that will help anyone become more self-reliant in any situation.

Excerpt from Book

The Simple Bare-Minimum FoodStorage Plan The average person eats one ton of food each year. If you''re notinto storing large amounts of food, have on hand at least thebare minimum to get you through a crisis and to remainindependent from the bureaucratic and logistical nightmare thatwill envelop those who failed to have reserve food suppliesavailable. At minimum, your family should have a two- tofour-week supply of food on hand at all times. This food shouldrequire little or no cooking and meet all of your nutritionalneeds. It should be easy to access, portable in a pinch, andrequire the bare minimum of preparation and fuss. To implementthis type of food storage program, simply buy more food from thestore than you normally would, and when you get down to theemergency two- to four-week supply, make a trip to the store. Inyour mind, your home should be "out of food" when you reach yourtwo- to four week stock. If you bite into this stock from lazinessor whatever, replace it as soon as possible. This extra foodshould not sit in the closet for months. It should be a part ofyour regular meal plan and ROTATED normally. In truth, it is not"stored" food at all, simply extra food that you have on hand aspart of your regular fare in the kitchen. I can''t emphasize enough that you keep this extra food assimple as possible concerning its preparation. On my outdoorcourses, I state in writing that clients should bring simplefoods that require NO COOKING. Regardless of this, many still do.Because they didn''t pay attention to the instructions, we are attimes forced to create a heat source to cook their dinner. Thisheat source usually takes the form of a campfire, which requiresa safe area to build the fire, dry fuel, an ignition source,knowledge of how to make a fire, the constant adding andadjustment of the fuel, hassling with rocks or berms of dirt tosuspend a fireproof cooking container that someone happened topack, water, and lots of time. While the rest of us have eatenour bagels and trail mix or tuna with crackers, the food cookersare still trying to get their water to boil. Don''t underestimatehow tedious cooking over a campfire can be (assuming you have thematerials and know-how to do so), especially under the physical,mental, and emotional strain of an emergency. There are many downand dirty foods that are ready to eat on the spot. For mostfamilies, canned foods will be the cat''s meow as they are widelyavailable, durable and portable, cheap, store well for up to twoyears, and are easy to open and eat, in the can with a stick ifnecessary, with zero preparation. Food Storage Rules ofThumb 1. There is no perfect food storage plan for every family as thereare far too many variables to contend with, from personal dietarypreferences and restrictions to global climates affectingstorage. Many people waste much of their food storage supply byfailing to obey a few simple rules of thumb regarding purchasingand storing food in bulk. Almost everyone interested in thestorage of food will agree upon the following rules. 2. Store only what your family will eat. This soundsstraightforward yet many families buy food, especially bulkitems, based solely on price rather than what the family actuallyeats. It doesn''t matter if you get a good deal on lima beans ifyour family hates them or has never had them. They will surelyeat them if they get hungry enough, but why go through the hassleand the dirty looks? In addition, an emergency is not the time tofind out that someone in your family is allergic to the new foodyou just introduced them to. 3. Faithfully ROTATE what you store. Depending on what you storeand how it''s stored, you must continually rotate your food stock.Seasoned food storage junkies frequently refer to the concept of"first in, first out," abbreviated as FIFO. If not alreadypossessing dates from the factory, all containers should be datedas to when they were purchased to easily distinguish the can ofcorn that''s two weeks old from the one that''s two yearsold. 4. Keep foods stored in the best possible conditions for maximumshelf life. Heat, light, moisture, and excess oxygen are notfriendly toward stored food. A following section will delve moredeeply into details. Keep all stored food off the ground.Concrete floors can "sweat" moisture during temperaturefluctuations when in direct contact with storage containers soput containers on thin wooden slates instead. 5. Foods stored in moisture (canned or bottled) should not bestored longer than two years. After this time these foods willrapidly lose their nutritional value. 6. Use only food-grade storage containers. Food-grade containerswon''t transfer potentially toxic substances from the containeritself into the food. If a container does not specifically statethat it is FDA approved for storing food, you should contact themanufacturer, especially if the container is plastic. Specify thecharacteristics of the food you''re storing, whether it''salkaline, acidic, wet or dry, etc., as these qualities may affectthe container. Ideally these containers will protect the contentsfrom light, moisture, insects, rodents, excess heat, and airinfiltration. Check wholesale food companies for containers suchas food-grade plastic buckets, Mylar bags, or metal containerssuch as #10 cans with lids. I have picked up several used three-to five-gallon plastic food containers from restaurants or schoolcafeterias for free, so be creative. Grocery stores carry avariety of plastic containers designed to store food. Glass jarswith tight-fitting lids may also be used. 7. Keep it simple! Human beings can complicate anything. Lookingat food storage plans in books, on the Internet, and elsewherewill prove that people are bound and determined to have just asmany culinary choices after a disaster as they enjoy now. Feelfree to indulge your quest for variety as you see fit, but themain intention of variety in your emergency diet should be theassurance of necessary balanced nutrition for optimal health, notto titillate your taste buds. The more elaborate and complicatedyour meal plan is, the more time, money, and effort you''ll needto spend to satiate your self-created complexities. If you insiston having steak at every dinner, you will need to plan ahead morethan the average Joe or Jane in order to make that happen duringan emergency. To combat the ramifications of a major catastrophe,I stressed at the beginning of this chapter the importance oftreating your stored food as survival rations instead of regularmeals. After reading earlier in this chapter of what people haveeaten in times of famine, you might just decide that having beansevery night for a month could be acceptable, appetite fatigue ornot. If that''s not going to work for your family, that''s fine,but don''t let your wants interfere with your needs. If you rejectthe idea of storing food at all because it''s too time consuming,expensive, or (add your excuse here)___________, your whining andwhimsy are destroying your priorities for survival! In times ofhunger, you will gladly trade your wishfully thought of blackenedsalmon with baby peas for my bought, stored, and very real plainrice.
