Survival Theory A Preparedness Guide eBook Jonathan Hollerman Reviews
I have read so many of these preparedness books (including many highly rated ones) that were a complete waste of my time, I couldn’t even tell you. I’m sure many of you have too. 99% of these genre of books are spitting out the same regurgitated information over and over again. It’s an embarrassment. They might as well just copy and paste each other’s pages to each other (maybe they do).
Jonathan Hollerman’s book Survival Theory is a breath of fresh air, among a field of mostly arm-chair commandos. You can tell from reading him, that he is the real deal. He doesn’t just talk about it. He didn’t just read about it from other “preppers”. He studies it, does it and has experienced it (well, much of it anyway...hopefully we’ll never find out). This is finally a survival book worth highlighting! The greatest part about him, is he uses real common sense to understand or theorize events or outcomes...along with a ton of study behind it. So many books, blogs, and comments I’ve read...amazingly, don’t. He has done his research, and it shows. I’ve been through multiple hurricanes. I’m CERT certified (twice). I hold 5 FEMA IS certificates. I’ve been activated at our EOC during Hurricane Irma, working alongside Fire, EMS, Police, EM and city officials. I’ve been without power for days. I’ve experienced and have been trained a little bit.
Here’s an example of what many don’t realize and you won’t hear it mentioned in most other books (except Jonathan’s). If you are connected to city sewer (a whole-lot of us are) and the power is out city-wide...those pumps that keep that sewage moving and processing at the wastewater plant, aren’t working. The sewage starts building up in the pipes (because people are still flushing with pool water, lake water...whatever they can) and eventually after pipes clogs enough, it starts backing up into properties and homes. I have seen this happen to people during Irma in as little as a week due to compounding issues. Sections of town were not able to use their toilets and had to go to other areas to do their business. So, the books out there saying everything will be fine when the grid goes down in surburbia, as long as you’ve stockpiled enough food, made friends with your neighbors, lay low, have enough ammo for unruly people, and hunker down in your home...are clueless. They don’t understand the big picture. They haven’t truly researched all angles of these scenarios. Sewage backing up into your property WILL make your home uninhabitable. Then what?
Overall, Jonathan’s book does paint quite a bleak picture because he’s mainly talking about the worst case scenario...grid down. I applaud him for taking on such an immense and complicated subject. It is not easy, and most “authors” just merely skim through it. He does not. Is it a realistic thing for Mr. and Mrs. Jones to worry about? Worry every day? No. Be somewhat mentally and physically prepared for? Absolutely yes. There is information out there, if you’re willing to hear it, about how the US has malware implanted into other countries to be able to shut their grid down, if they “needed to”. There are countries that also have malware implanted in the US, with those same capabilities, for if and when they “need to”. This particular country has already proven their capabilities by cyber-attacking multiple US large banks (like Wells Fargo) to “test” the waters not too long ago. Is a grid attack on us likely to occur? I sure hope not. But...it is certainly possible and they are quite capable.
Thank you Jonathan! I am only halfway way through it and I’ve already learned a ton.
The author is a former SERE instructor, and obviously knows his stuff. This book is based on the author's view that a EMP event, similar to the fictional event portrayed in William Forstchen's best seller "One Second After" and discussed at length in Ted Kopple's non-fiction book "Lights Out," as the most likely SHTF scenario that could bring about massive and disruptive change to our personal and national lives if it should ever happen. What Mssrs. Forstchen's book and Kopple's book were short on were specifics, like how to prepare for a possible EMP event happening. What gear do you need, what skills should you practice, where should you go, etc. They did a good job of realistically explaining what an EMP could do, but they pretty much left it at that. Hollerman's book fills the gap nicely, and he gets very, very specific. He doesn't claim to have all the answers, or even that his views will apply to most people, but he doesn't shy away from sticking his own neck out and stating his personal opinions which I like and respect. For instance, he bluntly says that his choice for personal sidearm in a grid down scenario would be a Glock. Period. No waffling. Now, I'm an HK fanboy (HK45C to be specific), it's just the platform I'm comfortable with. But I like the fact that he states his preference, and why he chooses it, and why you probably should as well. He encourages people to think about their own circumstances and apply this book as appropriate to their own lives without totally reinventing the wheel. One thing I wish the author or publisher had taken the time to include would be an index, thus I took away one star. Any guide or manual with this much extensive information really needs a searchable index. Maybe in a future edition? Also, future editions would benefit from chapter summaries as well, so that people can quickly access or remember key points since the writing is so dense with information. This doesn't take away from the quality of the book, or the information, but it would make it much more handy. Otherwise you're pretty much stuck with highlighting the crap out of the book (which I'm doing) and sticking little tabs on the pages. Otherwise a solid choice for people looking to be prepared... for whatever happens.
