While self-reliance is often treated simply as a form of advanced survival preparedness, it is different in both psychology and execution. Preparing and surviving imply a passing threat to life that must be survived in order to recover and rebuild as life was before the event. In this respect, survival is like a life raft that saves lives but has no sail or destination. While prepping is certainly essential to getting through the serious threats of the twenty-first century, it will not take you to a new and better place. True self-reliance is a ship that not only keeps you afloat, but also takes you to a better place once the crisis has passed. Author James C. Jones has been fighting for freedom and self-reliance for more than 40 years. He has seen the threats of the Soviet Union, Red Dawn, Y2K, and many others come and go.

He has also seen a lot of panic peddling by various groups trying to promote products or sell fear and hate. He doesn't claim to know exactly what will happen, when it will happen, or who to blame. No one can know this, but what he wants everyone to know is that changes and disasters will happen, and they will happen to many of us. Beyond Survival is a blueprint for the journey from dependence to independence, filled with practical how-to information and time-tested wisdom about food, water, shelter, medicine, sanitation, transportation, energy, home- and self-defense, and much more. Join the self-reliance revolution now. before it's too late.
