Survival Guns: A Beginner’s Guide is the first firearms book in the Survival Guns series that covers building a basic firearm battery. Steve Markwith will take the reader through the process of selecting and buying firearms and accessories via a planned process that meets your needs and budget. Steve outlines some underlying principles to work toward the goal of building a coordinated battery, beginning with just a short list of “essential systems” that constitute a baseline inventory. The book’s premise is built on starting with a clean slate. While some readers may already own guns and pursue the tendency to weave what they already own into the mix, those end results may be less than ideal. Steve takes the reader through a logical approach to building a planned but practical collection that will suit a variety of needs. While this book, and Steve’s similar manuals, is written for beginning-to-intermediate users, those familiar with firearms will also find the content of value. The information contained within is detailed, covering far more than just a firearm itself, leaving the reader confident in his/her plan to acquire guns and accessories in a reasoned, logical way.

This book is devoted to a whole series of useful firearms, beginning with the well-known .22 Long Rifle. The venerable “twenty-two” hosts a wide array of interesting loads, including some ultra-quiet choices and fairly nasty high-speed rounds. Even hotter rimfire calibers include the .22 Winchester Magnum Rimfire, plus three small-bore derivatives: the .17 Mach II, .17 Hornady Rimfire Magnum, and Winchester’s high velocity .17 Super Magnum. Careful shopping can provide us with a useful rimfire (or maybe even two) with which to quietly harvest small game or eliminate pests. An economical .22 LR firearm can also serve as a great high-powered rifle trainer if similar function is considered. In a pinch, it might even work for self-defense. The rimfires can’t do everything, but they can do a lot once fully understood. One trait is easy to overlook until you start shooting. They’re lots of fun! This book will lead the way from beginning to end.

Many people are beginning to become concerned by increasing natural disasters, global conflict, and political unrest and the smart ones want to do something about it. Unfortunately, increased awareness about disaster preparedness has caused an information overload. It is easy to become overwhelmed by the sheer amount of information available. Basic Survival helps readers dig out from under the avalanche of preparedness information. It dispels myths, introduces concepts, and teaches the basics of how to start preparing for disaster. Author David Nash, a lifelong prepper and the author of 52 Prepper Projects and The Prepper’s Guide to Foraging outlines an all-hazards approach to disaster management similar to the ones used by the military and federal and state governments. Nash has over ten years of experience in government emergency management as a planner, a first responder, and as an emergency operations center manager. Basic Survival is a great resource that presents a strong foundation for being prepared when an emergency hits.

Have you ever wondered what would happen if... You could not rely on modern technology to obtain food? You had to create fishing and hunting tools from scratch? Your family was counting on you to protect them? Learn How To Create Basic Weapons For Hunting, Fishing, And Self Defense Now! This is a short book that was written for anyone with an interest in making their own weapons for hunting, fishing, and self defense when surviving in the wild. All eight of the weapons described in this e-book can be made inexpensively and easily, both for the die-hard survivalists, and the average camper who wants to be able to catch their own food and protect themselves if necessary. As you'll learn, there are many different make weapons for hunting, fishing, and self defense. But make sure you apply what you learn from this book!

Rocks. Clubs. Spears. Bows and arrows. Catapults. Muskets. Pistols. Shotguns. Automatic rifles. Rocket launchers. Intercontinental missiles. Nuclear weapons. What do all of these things have in common? They are all weapons that man has created over the centuries for the simple purpose of defense (or for hunting, with some weapons). It's almost as if creating weapons has been just as big a priority for mankind as building shelter, foraging for food, or finding clean water. Of course, there's good reason why. Our natural instinct as human beings is to survive, and one of the top concerns in both our ordinary day-to-day lives and in a true life-or-death survival situation is security. Not only do we strive to protect ourselves, we will also do anything we possibly can to keep our loved ones safe and our homes and property secured as well. Today, we take modern technology largely for granted and weapons are definitely no exception. But let me ask you something: if you found yourself in a wilderness survival or in a large scale national disaster scenario without any modern weapons, what would you do? No guns. No knives. No machetes. No fancy crossbows or compound bows. Just your bare hands and the materials that are either in your home and/or that nature has provided for you. In this kind of a situation, you would have to settle for weapons that are more primitive but that are still effective at hunting game and defending yourself and your family from attacks from other people with ill intentions. If these weapons worked for our ancestors hundreds of years ago, they will continue to work for you today. A post-disaster world will be a dangerous place. Paper money may become worthless, stores and restaurants will be looted, there may be martial law by the military and law enforcement, streets will become shut down, and once ordinary people will become hungry and desperate and start raiding other people's homes for food and supplies. You cannot allow yourself or your family to become a victim in this scenario. You have to learn how to fight and to have the weapons to give you an advantage in a life-or-death situation. Hopefully you'll already have tools such as guns with you, but if you don't and need to make your own primitive weapons instead, the information in this book will undoubtedly come in handy. In this book, we are going to cover a series of different DIY weapons that you can either make in your home or in the wilderness with a detailed step-by-step process for each one. The specific weapons that we will cover include the following:* Club* Homemade Pepper Spray * Homemade Stun Gun* Long Bow* Paracord Monkey Fist* Sling Shot* Spear (Fire Hardened)* Spear (Knife)* Spear (Pronged)By the end of reading this book, you will know how to build each of these weapons and the only thing left for you to at that point will be to, well, build them!Hopefully you never find yourself in a situation where you'll have to use one of these weapons to defend yourself or your family. Nonetheless, the circumstances that would force you to do so are largely out of your control. You never know when disaster could strike and looters could come knocking on your door. This is why it's always better to be prepared, and the knowledge and ability to construct these weapons (and training yourself in the use of them) could be what saves your life and the lives of your loved ones.
