Survival Retreats ─ A Prepper's Guide to Creating a Sustainable, Defendable Refuge

Normally, retreats are built to blend in to their surroundings for the sake of secrecy, and are built by those who don't want others to know anything about their retreat. Dave Black explores these places and gets to go where most people never go—through the chain link fence, past the guard dog, and into the rarely seen survival retreat. You will learn how to:

Protect and defend your retreat

Build in the right location

Live safely in your retreat

Harvest food and water

Plan the perfect survival strategyDave Black goes into detail to teach you everything you ever needed to know about survival retreats. Not only will you learn how to protect them, but you will learn how and where to build them, and most importantly, what to do after you've fortified. There's a lot to know and with this book you'll be prepared for the inevitable apocalypse . . .
