Survival Hacks Your Dad Never Taught You

When I was a kid, my dad used to say, "Son, you don't know what you got 'til it's gone." It wasn't just about the last piece of pie, though that lesson stung a bit too. He was talking about the stuff we take for granted every day: electricity, clean water, heat when it's freezing cold outside, and a roof over your head that doesn't leak every time it rains. The kind of things you only notice when they're no longer there.

As the years passed and I saw the world get a little more unpredictable, I started to realize just how right he was. You never know when the power's gonna go out, when the tap might run dry, or when things might get a little...chaotic. That's when I started thinking about survival-not in the wild with a machete and a fire starter, but in my own kitchen, backyard, and closet.

This book is full of hacks, tips, and tricks to make sure that, when things get a little crazy, you and your family can keep going without missing a beat. We're not talking about big, scary, end-of-the-world scenarios here. This is about being ready for whatever life throws at you, big or small. It's about turning your everyday stuff-your pantry, your tools, your skills-into something that'll keep you on your feet, no matter what.

So, grab a cup of coffee, get comfortable, and let's dive in. We're about to take your survival game from "just getting by" to "ready for anything."

Let's get started.
