Two young women attending college decide to have a summer adventure canoeing the rapids-strewn Thelon River that runs 450 miles through the uninhabited Barren Lands of subarctic Canada. Holly made the trip once before with a group of skilled paddlers she trained with at camp, and she wants to share that experience with her friend and lover, Lee, believing it will draw them closer. But a week in, Holly, the risk-taker, falls while taking a selfie near the edge of a cliff. She is left injured and comatose, and soon dies.

Let’s get this out of the way: I’m not here to scare you. But if you’ve ever sat in the dark with a dead phone, a melting freezer, and zero clue what to do next—you already know a little fear can be useful. That flicker of “uh-oh” is your brain telling you it’s time to do something. Ideally before the lights go out, but hey, better late than never. Power outages aren’t rare anymore. Storms hit harder, grids fail more often, and sometimes things just fall apart. One minute you’re reheating leftovers and scrolling social media, the next you’re using a headlamp to check if ...

Or: How I Ended Up Prepping in the Candy Aisle Next to a Singing Birthday Card I’m not too proud to admit it—I once bought a pack of glow sticks, a can of potted meat, a travel-sized sewing kit, and a plastic back scratcher all in one trip to the dollar store. The cashier didn’t even blink. Just slid it all across the scanner with that judgment-free professionalism you only find in folks who’ve seen weirder combinations on the regular. I smiled, paid $5.35 with tax, and walked out of there feeling like a dang prepper genius. See, I’m a big believer that survival doesn’t have to ...

Let me guess—you’ve felt it too. That little gut-pull when the power flickers during a storm. That twitch of anxiety when the shelves at your local grocery store are weirdly empty two days in a row. Or that tiny voice in your head that goes, What would I do if this all just... stopped working? Welcome to Low-Tech Survival—where we talk about what happens when the power’s gone, the internet’s toast, and the stuff we’ve come to rely on (like food magically appearing at the store) just doesn’t show up anymore. This isn’t a “panic now” kind of book. No doomsday countdowns or...

Teach ‘Em Now, Thank Yourself Later Here’s the truth I learned the hard way—kids don’t magically know how to survive a power outage, a busted water main, or a weekend in the woods when the lighter won’t work. They’re not born knowing how to build a fire, bandage a cut, or navigate without GPS. And they sure don’t learn it by watching cartoons or scrolling on a tablet. If we want our kids to be capable, calm, and resourceful in an emergency, we have to teach them. Now don’t get me wrong—this isn’t about raising little doomsday preppers with camo face paint and MREs in ...

Let’s be real: Toilet paper is one of those things we don’t really think about until it’s gone. We grab it at the store without a second thought, throw it in the cart, and forget about it until the next time we need it. But here’s the thing—if a crisis hits, or if stores are shut down for any reason, toilet paper can become incredibly hard to come by. And when that happens, you’ll be glad you’ve stocked up and thought ahead. Trust me. Now, I know what you’re thinking. “Toilet paper? Really?” Yes, really. It’s an essential. When you’re preparing for emergencies, ...

We all like to think the world’s a safe place, and most of the time, it is. But every now and then, something unexpected happens—whether it’s a natural disaster, an economic collapse, or something else that shakes things up. And when that happens, the last thing you want is to be scrambling to figure out what to do or where to turn. I’m Kurt Johnson, and if you’re reading this, I bet you’re looking to avoid that panic. Maybe you’ve realized it’s time to be a little more prepared, to have a plan in place for your family—because when things get tough, the last thing you want...

If you’re reading this, chances are you’ve heard the term “martial law” tossed around, especially in times of crisis or political turmoil. You’ve probably wondered, “What does that really mean for me?” And you might have thought, “How can I prepare for something like that?” Well, that’s exactly what we’re going to dive into here. Martial law sounds like something straight out of a dystopian novel, but the reality is, it’s been implemented at different times in history for various reasons, from natural disasters to civil unrest. It’s something that could—...

So, you’re thinking about food storage. Maybe you’re just getting started, or maybe you’ve been on this journey for a while, trying to figure out the best way to keep you and your family fed in case things go sideways. Either way, you’re in the right place. Because, let's face it—food is one of the most important things we all need to survive. But when disaster strikes, it’s not always easy to just pop into the grocery store for what you need. The shelves might be empty, the power might be out, or the roads could be blocked. And in those situations, having a stash of food you ...

Or: The Time I Cooked Eggs on a Shovel and Felt Like a Genius (Sorta) I’ve always said that survival isn’t just about gear—it’s about grit. It’s about figuring things out when everything around you has gone sideways and the instructions blew away in the wind. Now don’t get me wrong, I love a good emergency kit and I’ll nerd out on bug-out bags with the best of ’em, but the truth is, the real magic? It’s in the hacks. The little tricks. The weird workarounds. The stuff you figure out because you had to—or because some brilliant (and possibly slightly unhinged) friend ...

In Kurt Johnson's debut novel, Las Vegas Turnaround, readers are catapulted into the underbelly of 1980s Las Vegas. It's a world where not even the bright lights of the Strip can drive out the darkness that accompanies the whirlwind of drugs, prostitution, and violence. The latter finally gets the better of Claire, a street-smart escort who misjudges a customer once and pays for it dearly. After she's brutally raped and beaten, she wants out. She tries hard to build a calm, mainstream life, but it soon becomes clear that's an impossibility in this town. Her meathead brother-in-law, Wood, ...

Water. It’s one of the most basic necessities for survival, yet it’s often the first thing people overlook when they think about prepping. We plan for food, shelter, security—but water? We just assume it’ll always be there. But in a disaster scenario, access to clean, safe water might be the first thing to go, and when it does, you’ll realize just how crucial it is. Imagine a world where the taps stop running, the bottled water shelves are empty, and the filtration systems are down. That’s not a situation you want to find yourself in without a plan. Having a reliable water ...

Alright, let’s get real for a second. If you're reading this, chances are you're already concerned about the world we live in. Maybe you've heard the buzz about EMP attacks, or maybe you just have a gut feeling that disaster is coming sooner rather than later. Either way, you’re in the right place. Now, let me start by saying—don’t panic. This isn’t the end of the world. Not yet, anyway. But an EMP (Electromagnetic Pulse) could throw a wrench into your daily life like you wouldn’t believe. One blast from a high-altitude detonation, and suddenly, your smartphone, car, fridge, and...

Alright, let’s get real for a second. We all know that life can throw some serious curveballs. Whether it’s a natural disaster, a grid-down situation, or just life throwing a wrench in your plans, the one thing you can count on is chaos. But here’s the kicker – you can control how you respond to that chaos. And a huge part of that? Your family’s ability to communicate when the world around you is falling apart. Now, I know what you’re thinking – “This all sounds great, but how in the world do I even begin?” Don’t worry, I’ve got you covered. This book isn’t about ...

While imagining the wonders of space exploration and the rise of technological advancements, they questioned whether we were prepared to encounter aliens, or even control the machines and weapons we'd built ourselves.
