These two essential survival books by James Ballou provide more than a blueprint for bad times ahead; the essential information in them may inspire you to attain a whole new level of self-sufficiency regardless of whether times are good or bad. Long-Term Survival teaches the essential skills and mind-set you will need to survive a complete, long-term shift in the way the world operates. Makeshift Workshop Skills dramatically expands on the material in the first book to present a makeshifter's way of building and repairing things with only a pile of raw or salvaged materials, your hands and your mind.
