Defend what’s yours when catastrophe strikes with expert tips that go beyond food and water storage.Should a national disaster occur, how will you respond? What will occur when critical societal services cease to function? As a prepper, you will likely be ready to hole up and live off of your stored supplies, at least for a while. But what do you do during that time? What are your next steps? And how do you defend yourself against others who have not prepared for such a disaster?After the Crash covers all the situations that you may face when the lack of governmental infrastructure leads to social upheaval and chaos. Since most of the population is unprepared for a disaster of any kind, this book gives both the trained and untrained prepper valuable information needed to have any chance of survival in a world where organized government assistance may not be available. Importantly, he details the crucial steps you need to take in addition to doing everything other survival manuals advise. These critical tips go beyond stockpiling food, water, and weapons.Offering battle-proven advice, Steve Mattoon explores what it takes to survive alone versus in groups, each approach presenting its own advantages and challenges. Discover how best to defend yourself, what to use, and how to most effectively use the tools you have at your disposal. Whether you find yourself in a rural area or an urban jungle, Steve Mattoon’s After the Crash will prove an essential addition to any prepper’s bug-out bag.

"maybe this book would be better if it's your first litrpg or system apocalypse, but it's still unoriginal, boring, and cringe, particularly when the MC tried to be funny or a leader and everyone nearby laughed or applauded. Just, no. <br/>one of the biggest problems was how much of a Gary Stu the MC is, he's flawless and perfect and humble about it and everyone instantly likes him, except for the caricatures that are supposed to be bad guys. The beginning had some potential but the author quickly gets tunnel vision and doesn't expand on any potential plot lines that could add intrigue beyond what was happening at the moment to the main character. it actually picked up a bit at the midpoint when he goes off on himself and has less cringe interactions with other conscious beings but then he inevitably runs into other people who instantly worship him and the cringe continued.<br/>The narration wasn't great either. I was initially excited because two of my favorites were part of the production, Andrea parsneau and Jeff Hays of the wandering inn and dungeon crawler Carl, respectively. But they only had bit parts doing side characters and couldn't save it. The main narrator was okay at best and the weird war drums they played throughout every fight scene were off-putting, they took away rather than added to the experience.<br/>to be clear, I love litRPG and system apocalypse books in particular, but if you want a better example then I highly recommend the defiance of the fall series. some people complain that the main character in that one is a dumb brute who solves all his problems with his ax, which is true most of the time. but he's a genius in other ways and the aspects of the series that make it so good are the incredible world building of an entire multiverse and the dozens to hundreds of plot threads that the author constantly weaves in and out.<br/>Also, I already own and am looking forward to the author's other series, Battleborn, and I hope for a much better experience. That plot and premise seem a bit more original, at least."
