 Just general info with goofy and juvenile illustrations December 15, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I read the warnings from others who rated this book, but bought it anyway because it was recommended by someone I knew and since it was practically free after adding it to get the super saver shipping. This book offers little you can't find easily for free on the internet, and why the author included those goofy juvenile illustrations is beyond me. As a "survival expert," Mr. Lundin should have been able to produce a much better resource book than this.
 Ok for the $$ December 11, 2008

I thought the book could have been put together a little better. A little less information about the author's quirkiness and a little more usefull suggestions. Contained some good advice and some food for thought (preferably not mice-ka-bobs).

Excellent guide from start to finish. Lundin uses down to Earth, nuts and bolts jargo to create an accessible, highly informative and cogent text. This book should be on all conscientious citizens' coffee table, or at least the back of their toilets!
Simple, practical and tested advice November 29, 2008

Despite some enigmatic patches of new-age spirituality and some odd, rather distracting illustrations, Cody's forthright style, keep-it-simple philosophy and dry humor appealed greatly to me. And unlike with many authors, you can be sure that he's actually "walked the walk". When he writes about catching and eating bugs, mice and rats, for example, you can be sure that it's not from a hypothetical viewpoint! Literally everyone should be able to glean some new, useful and helpful information from this book. If you ever expect to experience a hurricane, earthquake or blizzard, you should buy it. If you don't ever expect to experience a hurricane, earthquake or blizzard, you really, really should buy it.

I love this book. Here's why. The author, Cody Lundin, is a no BS survivor. What do I mean? Well, when he hasn't actually lived a scenario, he tells you. Honesty goes a long way with me. Read this book and you'll see what I mean.
The first couple of chapters are all about your head. Yep, you read that right: your head. Get your attitude straight. Talk about a surprise! Instead of launching into salting pork, or storing earth worms, Cody goes into your attitude. Your mind. No matter how good or bad the circumstances, if your head ain't right, you will NOT survive. Pretty simple, but don't let my inadequate words convince you. Cody spends a great deal of his time explaining why you need to have the proper attitude if you are to survive the next hurricane, or the next (insert favorite disaster scenario here)____________.
There's a lot of good stuff here. "Meat," for you meat eaters. Transportation? When was the last time you read a "survival" book that addressed not only mental preparation, but transportation? Nah, I don't care how you slice it up, Cody has done his homework here, and he's done his best to present you with a unique and valuable perspective.
A portion of the book I really appreciated? The "Big Four" which deals with four basic foods you just about must have if you're to make it. Better, he deals with storing these foods (and more).
Like a good author (or friend), Cody summarizes the major points of each chapter. This summation, helps clarify and reinforce what you've just read. That's tough to beat.
The best thing about Cody? If you really just can't grasp what he's saying in this book, or you feel you just can't get it without some extra training, Cody offers schools! Does he send you out with somebody he's hired? Hell no! He conducts the training personally! Check out his website. Just Google "Cody Lundin" and you'll find him. I want to take one of his courses so bad, I can taste the camp fire ash and the fresh, cool water I'll fill my hand-made gourd with.
Finally, Cody is human. Send him an e-mail. What do you wanna bet you'll get a response? I did. Cody is not above reaching out and interacting. That's priceless.
While "When All Hell Breaks Loose" is not the "Be all and end all" of survival books, it is an excellent place to start. Cody has much to offer, and you'd do well to read and heed.
