This will come autographed by the author, CR///EK Stewart. When Mike heads home from college for summer break a few days early, he couldn't imagine in one million years the events that were about to unfold. These types of things only happen to other people - people seen on television and read about in newspaper headlines. In a completely unexpected battle against Mother Nature, Mike has to use what very little survival knowledge and resources he has to stay alive. Panic, hypothermia, insect onslaught, dehydration, animal attack and even his basic need for oxygen will all threaten to claim him, without excuse or mercy, in this unforgiving and unimaginable place. The irony is that his poor decisions and preparation have led him here. Completely alone and with no hope of rescue, this Boy Scout dropout must get it together and figure out how to stay alive by using what he has to get what he needs. His belt, his busted cell phone and his glasses all become useful and unexpected survival tools in his journey to stay alive. WARNING: If you are claustrophobic, this survival story may make you uncomfortable.

Every survivor needs a little black book. Imagine a large scale disaster so catastrophic that resorting to desperate measures becomes the only avenue for survival. For whatever reason, you may find it necessary to scavenge resources from the nearest abandoned town, restaurant, store-front, or strip mall. This book is designed to make that event as fast and efficient as possible. Expediency is always a survival advantage. A calculated raid should be deliberate and organized. A simple check-list of useful survival items can be very helpful in a moment of stress and chaos.
The following itemized lists represent important items essential for survival, which can be sourced during a desperate scenario from common establishments in almost every town or city. This is simply a book of lists. Space does not allow for an elaboration for the reasoning behind each and every item. However, brief notes have been made throughout on particularly interesting items that may have unique uses. Some items are notated with an asterisk (*). These represent 'top priority' commodities that will be particularly useful as a survival item or for trade/barter. Not all items in a given list are intended to be utilized for their obvious purpose. For example, you might not think to grab a puppy pad at a veterinary clinic or pet store if you're raiding one. However, puppy pads are super absorbent and are great for wound drainage, as well as insulation. Most of the time, in order to survive a disastrous scenario, you will have to get creative and think outside-of-the-box.
This pocket field guide is 4"x6" and fits perfectly in any pack or jacket pocket. 96 pages. Printed in USA.

Pocket Field Guide: The Siberian Deadfall

Follow Omaha on his survival journey to save the one girl he can't survive without. America doesn't exist - at least not as most remember it. The decision to trade insurmountable debt for sovereignty has led to an oppressive rule by the World Union Government (WUG). Cities are being destroyed and stripped of resources. Citizens are being captured and forced into labor camps. Until now, Omaha, age 17, has been able to avoid the WUG's reach by homesteading with his mom and sister in the mountains of West Virginia. But when a WUG General gets between him and his childhood sweetheart, London, Omaha must face the reality of this new world once and for all. When London moved away two years ago, it was the saddest day in Omaha's life. He's loved her for as long as he can remember and now faces nearly impossible circumstances. Just a young man himself, he is doing everything he can to provide for his mom and sister in an increasingly unstable world. Now, he must leave them and make the dangerous 400 mile journey across hostile lands to save the one person he can't survive without. Omaha grew up in Boy Scouts and spent his childhood learning timeless survival skills from his father and American Indian grandfather. Now, with both mentors gone, he must call upon those skills if he has any hope of surviving the gauntlet ahead. Armed with only a backpack of survival supplies, a sling shot, and his grandfather's machete, this journey will test every aspect of Omaha: his physical and mental strength, his faith in humanity, his own will to survive, and the one thing he thought would never falter - his love for London.
