Survival Illustrated

Gotta love mylar

We’re working on an illustrated survival guide that covers a range of topics, from backyard homesteading and portable solar to foraging and rain harvesting. Our goal is to help everyone prepare for the future by breaking down complicated and overwhelming topics in prepping and survival, and making them accessible through clear visual and written instructions. This guide is meant for everyone, including people living in cities and suburbs.

We’re sharing each section as we go (even with occasional typos), soliciting feedback from readers and experts for final revisions. The finished first edition will probably run 200 pages. It’s going to be available in print, for moments when you can’t access the internet. We aim to have it released by the end of 2026, but there’s no reason to keep the information secret. That’s why we’re posting sections in real time, when they’re ready, so people can benefit from the guides now, and then have the print version later.
