This is one of the most informative books you will ever read on survival amidst war, catastrophe and chaos. I read it years ago and never forgot it.

The book is very moving because it is by an eyewitness together with his wife trying to make it out in one piece. Rather than being somebody speculating about what that is like, it is the direct testimony about what life is like after society collapses all around them.
It covers all the subjects that we talk about at Vault-Co and some we have never covered here.
About this book
Selco survived the Balkan Wars of the 90s in a city under siege, without electricity, running water, or food distribution.
Over the past years, he has given an inside view of the reality of survival under the harshest conditions. He reviews what works and what doesn’t, tells you the hard lessons he learned, and shares how he prepares today.
He never stopped learning about survival and preparedness since the war. Regardless what happens, chances are you will never experience extreme situations like Selco did. But you have the chance to learn from him and how he faced death for months.
Real survival is not romantic or idealistic. It is brutal, hard and unfair. He has generously shared a great deal of information with readers of The Organic Prepper blog, and one question he and I have heard a lot is whether or not we could put together a collection of this work. So, you asked, and we answered with this very special anthology.

Thank you! So cheerful this Easter.
I think that not enough people will learn from welcome and ferfal. People who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it People who do learn from history are doomed to watch it be repeated.
