“When the Grid Goes Down, Disaster Preparations and Survival Gear for Making Your Home Self Reliant” is a non-fiction book that was released in 2012. Disasters come and they go every year however it is through developing a self-reliant mindset, having an essential survival gear and having a handful of critical skills, that you and your family can possibly be able to prevail during an urban crisis.

Jammed with some field-tested information from real-world applications, Tony covers exactly how you can prepare for both short-term survival (lasting from 24-72 hours) along with long-term situations which result from a grid down emergency or even a pandemic.

This book will show you exactly how to make your lifestyle and home much more self-sufficient and the critical gear that’s needed along the way.

Topics in this book include: creating a water map for your region, 6 key areas for creating a self-reliant home, water purification and storage methods, alternative water sources at home, 3 essential food types to stock up on, and heating, cooling, and lighting when the power’s out.

“Bushcraft Tips & Tools: Basic and Advanced Bushcraft & Survival Tips” is a non-fiction book that was released in 2013. Tony dives into recommendations for basic bushcraft tips and gear for increasing your backcountry abilities during long term wilderness living.

Full of practical advice that is taken from his 30 years spent teaching field courses, and experimentation on his extended personal trips, this book covers the strategies for enjoying the wilderness with just a few simple tools and your own hands.

Topics in the book include: bushcraft blades, firearms & food procurement tools, tarp and bedroll types, region specific gear, axes and saws, wilderness ethics, clothing recommendations, cooking implements and trail food.

There’s also this helpful question and answer section, some colorful anecdotes from Tony’s time out on the trail, and some home practice exercises.

“Bug Out Gear” is a non-fiction book that was released in 2013. The majority of people in the preparedness and survival community spend quite a lot of time and expense in order to outfit themselves with quality bug-out gear for an urban crisis. All of this changes once you board a commercial flight for pleasure or work and the majority of the well-planned kit winds up left behind because of travel restrictions.

Here is a book that covers the pertinent emergency gear that every vacationing family or business traveler should really carry in order to prevail during some disaster. It’s specifically designed with current railway and flight restrictions in mind. For those travelers then consider preparing a stripped down version of your bug-out bag with suggestions which follow just in case you ever need to survive in some disaster riddled city far away from home.

Based off Tony’s 27 years spent survival courses and streamlining travel kits of his own, you’ll learn what emergency gear to have in your pockets along with nutritious no-cook foods, critical first aid kit items, a carry on bug out bag, and how to dress for egress.
