Bestselling author, Jonathan Hollerman, will present evidence that America as we know it could be destroyed in the near future from the loss of America's electric grid or other societal collapse scenarios. Many preparedness “experts” severely underestimate the threat posed by millions of starving, desperate people. This preparedness guide will help you develop a plan to escape the deadly rioting and looting, showing you where you can take your family to keep them safe, even if you can’t afford a fully- stocked survival retreat. Hollerman’s in-depth expertise and recommendations will cover Bug Out Bags, SHTF Weapons, Tactical Gear, Survival Tools, Knives, Long Term Food Storage, Livestock, Bug Out Locations, Survival Retreat Recommendations, and much more... Review: This book is a great resource. It clearly defines the threat - I have read this book several times now.. I have some background in SERE.. I graduated in Class 72-01 Air Force SERE.. I also attended all of the Air Force Survival Schools , Arctic, Tropic, Desert, and Jungle. I attended the Army Special Forces SERE School. I have taught SERE in Washington State, Florida, Saudi Arabia, Sudan, and Jordan. This is a complete well thought out book, that thinks with you as you read.. He anticipates your questions and answers the "experts advice" that he sees as incomplete or in error.. There is no one way to Survive at a Grid Down scenario. Each of you will have to tailor your resources with your belief systems. It will be the most difficult thing you will ever have to do.. This book is a great resource. It clearly defines the threat. It lists resources that you may have or that you can obtain. It constantly reminds you that Wal Mart will be closed and those things you need you will either have or will improvise or go without. When it happens, what do I do? Where do I go? What do I need to live with my family and those in my group? Are groups even a good idea? Can we pool our resources and survive? How much food do I need? Should I buy food storage? It is thought provoking and will have you purchasing more books, and guides.. My experiences in East Africa in the early 80's gave me a harsh look at civil war. You have no idea what starving people will do and how hard it is to say "NO". This book is a must for each library, and is a good read for wives and children. Read it with your family and discuss the options for your family..Now the question for you is; "Can I do what I think I can do"? Ron Long USAF SERE Class 72-01 Review: This book has a lot of fantastic information in it - I hope Jonathan will respond to this. This book has a lot of fantastic information in it. We only started prepping 4 years ago and while we have made some huge inroads we have a long way to go. Fortunately I am not one of the poor guys that has to convince his wife as she gets it. Jonathan is correct in my opinion that things will melt down faster than most people realize. The day things start to happen will be too late for those un prepared. The author says to practice, practice, practice. As true as this is I believe most of us have a tough time with time. I work 12 hours a day. One of the few issues I have with the book is of course, the firearms section. Being an avid reader, shooter, and outdoorsman, as well as being ex military myself, I definitely question the comments about gas piston firearms. Steyr AUGs, FN FALs and all of their variants to name a few are piston driven and absolutely reliable. I am doing my own experimentation with my AUG and my Ruger SR556'and other gas piston guns to see where failure is. AUG is at 2700 rounds with no cleaning. Ruger is at 3853 rounds. Neither firearm is really as dirty as I expected. After all, all of us ex GI's out ther know about the direct impingement m16's/m4's and how cruddy they got. FN FAL and variants were used by about 70 nations for only 40 or 50'years. So you can see that this very important piece of info is skewed?!. Glocks! Nuff said. Discounting the ultra reliable 1911 is very hard to swallow. Love my Glocks BUT they have only another 70 or so years to come close to the 1911's. Military tried to kill the 1911 and now EVERYONE makes one. Soldiers and shooters fought the government and won. I agree they are for more experienced shooters, but as far as combat pistols go all others combined pale by comparison. LOL a Tikka rifle instead of a 700 BDL. Get parts. Good luck. From my point of view, and Jonathan expects this, this is the worst recommendation in the book hands down. Biblical references I cannot argue with. Well thought out and well researched. Overall people this is a great reference work. Almost seemed like Jonathan was at our kitchen table.mhighly recommend this. For those of you who have not read his other 2 books,do yourself a favor and read them. Well written. Still awaiting his sisters book in the fall and his next book as well. Keep up the good work sir, wife and I read everything and will continue to do so. Help you finance your prepping! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #553,611 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #122 in Disaster Relief (Books) #135 in Survival & Emergency Preparedness #54,230 in Self-Help (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 743 Reviews | ## Images ![Survival Theory: A Preparedness Guide (EMP) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/613FZxTF2iL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This book is a great resource.

Help you finance your prepping! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Solid EMP Preparedness Guide – Practical and Eye-Opening *by J***N on April 25, 2026* Solid EMP Preparedness Guide – Practical and Eye-Opening I'd give Survival Theory a solid 4 stars and it's a worthwhile read for anyone serious about emergency preparedness and understanding the real-world implications of an EMP event. The book covers the subject with enough depth and practical detail to be genuinely useful rather than just fear-mongering, and the preparedness guidance is actionable and grounded in realistic scenarios that serious preppers and community organizers can actually apply. The EMP threat is one of the most underappreciated and potentially catastrophic risks to modern infrastructure, and this guide does a solid job of breaking down why it matters and what practical steps can be taken to mitigate vulnerability and improve resilience at the individual and family level. The writing is accessible enough for readers who are new to the subject while still offering enough substance to keep experienced preparedness-minded readers engaged. For anyone building out a family or community preparedness plan, understanding the EMP threat picture is an important piece of the overall readiness puzzle that this book addresses effectively. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.no/products/28489406-survival-theory-a-preparedness-guide-emp](https://www.desertcart.no/products/28489406-survival-theory-a-preparedness-guide-emp) --- *Product available on Desertcart Norway* *Store origin: NO* *Last updated: 2026-09-16*
