    Ronald Nelson

    I am 85+ years old and this is my first attempt to write a book, in this case an autobiography. I was encouraged to endeavor this accumulation of personal stories because a dear friend encouraged me and said more than once "You have so many great stories." My stories relate to my "God moments", my wife Luci of 66+ years, children and grandchildren, my education, my Navy career, including Viet Nam, my retirement years as an ordained Deacon in the Catholic church and presently as a leader and Commander of Post 1 American Legion, in Honolulu, Hawaii. My hope is that someone will be touched by my story and will heal because of it.

      Provided some very basic information but not well, lots of spelling and grammatical errors. Don't recommend unless you have absolutely never been outdoors in your life.

    Survival Gear - Ronald Nelson

    Introduction

    The great outdoors can be a very unforgiving place and whilst camping can be an awful lot of fun it can turn into a nightmare incredibly quickly and before you know it you are in a survival situation.

    Probably the most helpful thing for anyone with regards to surviving in the wilderness is knowledge. Unfortunately the majority of people has limited knowledge on survival and is left dependent on the authorities for rescue.

    In major disasters not only do people lose their homes but they can also sustain life changing injuries. At times like this the knowledge of survival and self reliance comes into its own, and those who are stuck in the middle of things will not only be able to take care of themselves but others if necessary and this is enough to ensure a bad situation doesn’t get worse.

    In order to prevent a tough situation from getting any worse, knowledge of simple things such as purifying water, how to make a shelter etc will hold you in good stead. Knowledge of basic first aid is vital and this is something that everyone should adhere too.

    The knowledge of survival should not be a choice, it should be a necessity and everyone should be trained in the basic arts of survival and self reliance. This book aims to provide you with a good grounding and understanding of all things required for prepping for survival in all manner of situations.

    Chapter 1 – What is a SHTF scenario?

    On a daily basis we wake up, wash, have breakfast and then go about our business before returning home at the end of home to eat dinner. This is our routine and what we are comfortable with. We feel stable in what each day will bring this is our foundation and how we live. However we rarely think about how many things could suddenly go wrong.

    Disaster whether a power outage, uprising, forest fire etc could all strike at anytime and in any form. These and many other disasters can equally qualify as a SHTF scenario.

    Obviously we do not go around looking over our shoulder as it would be impossible and drive you to distraction; however at the same time a vital life skill is to be aware of what you do need to know if an emergency situation did arise.

    Being prepared is the most important thing that will ensure you can side step disaster, but if disaster does strike having all the necessary resources and materials at your disposal will see you through.

    Preparing for a SHTF scenario

    All preppers (people that are prepared) take satisfaction in survival and items that have more than one use. Not only do preppers take joy in using these items they also revel in the idea of showing off their skills, tips and tricks with family and friends.

    For those who are complete novices when it comes to being prepared for SHTF scenarios this book is a must for anyone with an interest in surviving and being prepared for anything that may occur in your lifetime.

    It doesn’t matter whether you are just starting to get organized or if you have been preparing for some time, finding things that will help you to become more efficient and better prepared for whatever may happen.

    There are a number if things you probably already have in your home that you don’t realize actually have more than one use, and could be used in an emergency situation. By knowing what these uses are you can be best prepared if and when an emergency arises and you are left without power, light or any type of heat source.

    Some of these items may require some preparation prior to using them and you must make sure you have all
