SURVIVAL




"I do not know with what weapons World War III will be fought,
but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones."
(Albert Einstein)


One of my great interests is “survival”, chiefly of WW III........nuclear, biological, and chemical warfare. I wrote several papers concerning NBC war in college majoring in Political Science, (BA 1972).

I have read many fiction and non-fiction books on the subject, and viewed many, many flicks concerning “Judgment day”. Below is a list of flicks and books I have seen and/or read and recommend.

Terrorism/WWIII/Survival Films:

Red Dawn - 1984
Black Sunday - 1976
Deadly Outbreak - 1996
The Satan Bug - 1965
Outbreak - 1995
Arlington Road - 1999

The Siege - 1998
The Peacemaker - 1997
Under Siege - 1992
Navy Seals - 1990
Death Before Dishonor - 1987
Invasion USA – 1985
The Day After


There are also many books that concern the subject, including:

“Farnam's Freehold”, Robert Heinline
“The Survivalist” series, Jerry Ahern
:Malevil”, Robert Merle
“Alas Babylon”, Pat Franks”
“Lucifers Hammer”, Larry Niven

Emergency Supplies & Survival Gear







The Office of Homeland Security and the American Red Cross are just two agencies that recommend everyone have an emergency “Kit” on standby for emergencies from tornados, floods, storms, terrorism, etc. They are relatively simple and inexpensive....they may save your life. You have life insurance and car insurance.......why not personal insurance with a 72 hour “kit”?

I started mine three days before “Y2K”..........I had a difficult time finding propane stoves, batteries, water, etc. Watch TV when a hurricane hits Florida....such supplies disappear in hours. It only makes sense to get yours now! You can always eat the food and drink the water.....good for “turnover” amd keeping supplies fresh.
