One-of-a-Kind Survival Guide

"Sage advice, in my opinion—and I've spent most of my life at the end of a dirt road. The only advice I would add is, work through these checklists with as many neighbors as possible, because in a real crisis (of which a globally heated world will provide plenty) they're going to be your bar-none best survival assets!"

—Bill McKibben, author of The End of Nature

"In the face of a climate crisis that may be even worse than we thought, Survive and Thrive is a refreshing dose of positivity with step-by-step guidelines to help us all to literally weather the storm. But beyond being a disaster and preparedness guide, this is a readable, comprehensive manual for a new way of living—one which teaches and empowers the individual, while also recognizing that it's a collaborative and sustainable model which will be critical to successfully navigating an uncertain future. This should be mandatory 21st-century reading, on every shelf."

—Thom Hartmann, NYT bestselling author and host of the Thom Hartmann Program

"Survive and Thrive is the guidebook I wish I had while I was tracking down oily criminals in the jungles of Ecuador and the vultures in Africa. Bill and Jeanne have done it again, making a readable, easy-to-understand guide to preparing for and surviving disasters—whether a hurricane, wildfire, or the next pandemic. It's a book that should be on every journalist’s shelf."

—Greg Palast, NYT Bestselling author and investigative journalist

"Where has this been all my adulting life? Informative, comprehensive, self-aware, socially conscious, and most of all relatable and fun to read, this book takes numerous daunting topics and systematically breaks down the overwhelming into the practical as if the co-authors Jeanne and Bill were also coaches right by your side, guiding you along to embrace a unique concept of selfless and benevolent self-reliance (or at the very least knowing you can use Doritos as fire starters... who knew?). I'm glad I now have this on me; that fact alone already makes me feel I could be a tiny bit more ready for the next apocalypse."

—Calvin D. Sun, MD, emergency physician, clinical assistant professor in emergency medicine, and author of The Monsoon Diaries

"As a life long prepper and survivalist, I found this book to be extremely informative. The tools you need for a single individual or a family are conveniently located in this easy-to-read guide. Disaster can happen anywhere and at anytime—no matter who you are or where you live.

"Surviving a disaster is one thing. Thriving afterwards is a completely different situation. If you want to learn how, look no further than this guide."

— Brendan Callaghan, Retired Navy SEAL Petty Officer First Class SO1
