Book Preview: The Survivalist (Frontier Justice)
New! The Survivalist (Frontier Justice) by Dr. Arthur T. Bradley
Description
The Superpox-99 virus has wiped out nearly the entire human race. Governments have collapsed. Cities have become graveyards filled with unspeakable horror. People have resorted to scavenging from the dead, or taking from the living. The entire industrialized world has become a wasteland of abandoned cars, decaying bodies, and feral animals.
To stay alive, U.S. Deputy Marshal Mason Raines must forage for food, water, and gasoline while outgunning those who seek to take advantage of the apocalyptic anarchy. Together with his giant Irish wolfhound, Bowie, he aligns with survivors of the town of Boone in a life and death struggle against a gang of violent criminals. With each deadly encounter, Mason is forced to accept his place as one of the nation’s few remaining lawmen. In a world now populated by escaped convicts, paranoid mutants, and government hit squads, his only hope to save the townspeople is to enforce his own brand of frontier justice.
Halfway across the country, a killer is released from prison. With hopes set on a fresh start, he rescues a young girl desperate to get home. As they travel across the wasteland that once was the United States, they must call upon every bit of strength and courage to survive not only the horrors of the new world but also a violent government agenda.

Author’s Biography
RV Ops: Preparing Your Base Camp
Entering into a survivalist situation often means having to think on your feet. And sometimes, it means having to think on your back as well. Or, to be more specific, about how and where you intend to bunker down each night.
Preparing a camp isn’t simply a matter of pitching a tent and unrolling a sleeping mat. There are all sorts of things to consider when you’re in a survivalist situation; such as, how to make fire without being seen, how to sleep (or not) on wet ground, and how you should prepare for inclement weather or hostile conditions.
With these factors in mind, it becomes clear that preparing a base camp will take careful consideration. But if you prepare in advance you’ll find that, when it comes time to put your plans into action, everything will go smoothly.
Packing for a Survivalist Situation
When it comes to packing, the old adage is ‘pack light’. But when it comes to preparing your base camp, this doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice on any of the essentials. You basic camping kit should contain:
- A medical kit, including antiseptic, plasters and bandages.
- Food; dry goods, energy bars and tins.
- Water, and a water purifying system.
- A cooker, and cooking equipment.
- Firelighters, including a tinder box and flints.
- A sleeping mat, sleeping bag and tent, AND
- A hammock.
- A navigation kit, including torch, compass, notebook, map etc.
- Sharps and tools, including a hatchet, Swiss army knife and safety pin.
These items will form the basis of your survival checklist – the absolute bare minimum of what you will need in an outdoor survivalist situation.
How to Prepare Your Camp
Choosing the location of your camp is the first important part of setting your camp up. It doesn’t matter if you’re bunking down for just one night, or if you intend to ride out a few seasons in the same location. A well chosen spot will aid you in the event of your needing to find food, water or an escape route. With this in mind, camping with your back to a cliff or steep incline is a great idea, as you’ll also be protected from the wind.
The type of camp you will set up will be dependent upon a number of factors, including how permanent your camp will be, what the weather and ground conditions are like, and whether or not you expect to encounter any nasty bugs, predators or other dangers. If in doubt, opt for a hammock. Sleeping above the ground will offer you the best protection from most natural hazards.
The Prepper’s Look at Body Armor
Survival is the principal goal of every species – this is what Charles Darwin said. Obviously, he was right, especially speaking about humans. Human species has seen it all and still remains. But, what if a new global disaster occurs and you will have to take care of your own self and your family? Probably, evolution will be one of the very last things you’ll be thinking about.
Protection Is the Priority
Before you start making sorties, looking for provisions, weapons, clean water, and other essential things, you will have to prepare for one. You can’t go out in the middle of ruin and expect to be completely safe. You can get attacked by other people, who are trying to survive themselves, but have probably lost the understanding of life’s sanctity. You don’t want to fall a victim at hands of some bloodthirsty crazies. This is where proper protection comes in handy.
There’s no better protection for your body, than body armor. Depending on situation, you will benefit from various types of body armor. However, any kind of body protection is better, than nothing. If you have any kinds of athletic pads, they can work as body armor for quite some time. They won’t save from bullets or heavy cold weapons, but they can protect you from fractures, bruises, and a lot of other injuries you can get, when completely unprotected.
Look for the Best Body Armor You Can Get
While athletic pads are better, than nothing, real body armor is the best. Whether you can figure a stab proof body armor set or bullet proof vest, you will be much better protected, than using athletic pads. A helmet would be useful as well. Never stick to the armor you’ve got used to, because you can simply overlook a much better option. The better you are protected, the better are your chances for survival. You can never know who’s going to attack you and what weapon they will use.
Consider Preparing in Advance
The best way to get properly protected is to prepare in advance. There are tons of body armor products available on the market today. Unfortunately, no one has all time in the world, so don’t postpone it for tomorrow, and then for tomorrow, and then for tomorrow, and so on. There are regular retail stores selling body armor of all types and models and there are quite many online stores such as SafeGuardClothing.com with even larger assortments. In other words, only the lazy person thinking of getting prepared for survival won’t spend a day or two on finding the best body armor.
Ask your own self, if you will have a real opportunity to figure a tactical body armor set, when the world falls apart? Probably not, so why not do it today, when you have the funds, the time, and a lot of options? Preparing for survival in advance is a rather smart thing to do.
We’re hearing that the North Korea is about to launch a nuclear bomb to the USA day after day. Who knows – maybe it’s just a verbal threat and a desire to declare of the country’s might or it could be a real thing. And what if it turns out to be the real thing? Perhaps, this is a no-brainer.

The Decline Of Western Civilization Will Be Televised
Over the weekend I was watching the Boston police illegally enter homes and force innocent families out onto the street at gunpoint, all in the name of finding one 19 year old Muslim radical. There’s no use iterating how I feel about the events I saw, since unfortunately it seems very few people outside of the Prepper and Patriot communities seem to care about the sad state of our country anyway. For many, as long as Honey Boo Boo is being piped into the living room idiot box uninterrupted, most people are comfortably content with the decline of Western society.
But, over the weekend, Bostonians got a taste of what less than 50% of us voted for. For those not in the know regarding current US politics, what we saw play out was actually the “hope and change” the President has been so excited to show us. I feel a great sadness for those families affected by the illegal activities of the Boston Police, knowing that a good number of the families affected were suddenly faced with the realization that the country they thought they lived in is actually nothing more than a romantic memory, a decrepit shade of its former self. That my friends is the honest truth.
I encourage anyone living in a city here in the US to move to rural surroundings, before this all gets exponentially worse.
Go America.

12 Survival Items You May Have Overlooked
From The Prepper Journal | On March 27th, 2013
“When we talk about survival, there are certain items that immediately come to mind. We start with the discussion of beans, bullets and band-aids. This logically flows to having at least a 30 day supply of food, firearms and ammo to defend your home or retreat and medical instruments and supplies to take care of a variety of injuries in an emergency. This gets you the basics and then we talk about extending those provisions to last longer time periods, support more extreme scenarios or to include additional bodies…”

Gear Review: Stealth Body Armor By SafeGuard Armor
Stealth body armor made by SafeGuard Armor, LLC is manufactured from 100% DuPont™ Kevlar® armor panels enclosed in a CoolMAX® outer vest carrier. Stealth is the sleek design in their line of body armor products specifically intended to be worn concealed, under a shirt or jacket.
The amazing technology employed in creating Stealth body armor is evident in the final product weight. It is a much lighter when compared to any of the vintage military-style flak jackets, yet boasts truly amazing specifications with regard to stopping live rounds from penetrating the panels.
There are many configurations of Stealth armor to choose from, allowing the intended wearer to customize his or her vest based on the balance of available budget versus desired level of protection. Individual options available to choose from include Ballistic Level II, Level IIIa; Edged Blade Level 1, Level 2; and Spike Level 1 or Level 2.
The Ballistic Threat Level II option offers protection against any round fired into the vest up to a 9mm 124 grain FMJ traveling at 1175 ft/sec (358m/sec). Level IIIa armor protects the wearer from rounds up to .44 Magnum 240 grain moving at 1400 ft/sec. (427m/sec).
Upon viewing multiple online video demonstrations of the Ballistic Threat Level II vest absorbing 9mm handgun rounds, it became quite obvious it works as intended. After what I’ve seen, there’s no mistaking its ability to protect the wearer from traumatic gunshot wounds.
The Stealth vest is designed to be worn concealed, and as such, is designed to cover and protect only vital organs high in the torso, leaving the lower portion exposed. This is a trade-off to a vertically taller design which would shift upward and bulge awkwardly when the wearer tries sitting or squatting.
Stealth body armor boasts a 5 Year Warranty, and is certified and tested in full compliance with the US National Institute of Justice (NIJ) 0101.03/04 standards, this according to SafeGuard Armor.
Stealth body armor is available in white or black (pictured).
Stealth body armor is available in either a Black or White outer carrier, and comes in 7 sizes, allowing for a correct fit for virtually any frame size. Even though it is manufactured in such a wide range of sizes and is highly adjustable via the wide Velcro bands, the fit is not ideal for women with a high bust-to-waist ratio. But then again, no worn-to-be-concealed body armor is.
Stealth body armor is shipped in a black, heavy-weight, nylon zippered carry bag which includes convenient handles. This is a nice bonus!
