What demographic does this book appeal to? [Posted on 2008-11-17]
Of course, there is some good information that will help a lot, if you put it into practice. But as another reviewer said, there's too much funk.

I don't think this book was written, necessarily for a certain age group or demographic. It seems to have been written for a certain personality, like those that still read old issues of Mad Magazine.

Once again, there's content here that could be helpful. But as for the presentation, "To each his own said the farmer as he kissed the cow."

Everyone should know what is in this book. [Posted on 2008-11-21]
Don't be a nitpicking snob. This book should be the foundation of a required class in the 8th grade. Everyone should know at least this much about basic human needs and how to fulfill them during a crisis. But this will never happen because public school teachers think that classes should be dull and boring, and have only little, if any, application to human needs in the real world.

Get and read this book, then lend it to your children. The boys especially will love it. It is both funny and informative.

This book could save the lives of your entire family. It will give your children an appreciation of their presently protected lives while, at the same time, it will provide them with the information they might need should an actual crisis occur. "What to do When all Hell Breaks Loose" beats the hell out of "The Boy Scout Manual."

Fun Book that could save your life [Posted on 2008-11-24]
This is a fun book packed with information that could save your life some day. At a minimum it will give you some confidence that you could survive a bad situation if it presented itself.

Listen to Cody [Posted on 2008-11-27]
I love this book. Here's why. The author, Cody Lundin, is a no BS survivor. What do I mean? Well, when he hasn't actually lived a scenario, he tells you. Honesty goes a long way with me. Read this book and you'll see what I mean.

The first couple of chapters are all about your head. Yep, you read that right: your head. Get your attitude straight. Talk about a surprise! Instead of launching into salting pork, or storing earth worms, Cody goes into your attitude. Your mind. No matter how good or bad the circumstances, if your head ain't right, you will NOT survive. Pretty simple, but don't let my inadequate words convince you. Cody spends a great deal of his time explaining why you need to have the proper attitude if you are to survive the next hurricane, or the next (insert favorite disaster scenario here)____________.

There's a lot of good stuff here. "Meat," for you meat eaters. Transportation? When was the last time you read a "survival" book that addressed not only mental preparation, but transportation? Nah, I don't care how you slice it up, Cody has done his homework here, and he's done his best to present you with a unique and valuable perspective.

A portion of the book I really appreciated? The "Big Four" which deals with four basic foods you just about must have if you're to make it. Better, he deals with storing these foods (and more).

Like a good author (or friend), Cody summarizes the major points of each chapter. This summation, helps clarify and reinforce what you've just read. That's tough to beat.

The best thing about Cody? If you really just can't grasp what he's saying in this book, or you feel you just can't get it without some extra training, Cody offers schools! Does he send you out with somebody he's hired? Hell no! He conducts the training personally! Check out his website. Just Google "Cody Lundin" and you'll find him. I want to take one of his courses so bad, I can taste the camp fire ash and the fresh, cool water I'll fill my hand-made gourd with.

Finally, Cody is human. Send him an e-mail. What do you wanna bet you'll get a response? I did. Cody is not above reaching out and interacting. That's priceless.

While "When All Hell Breaks Loose" is not the "Be all and end all" of survival books, it is an excellent place to start. Cody has much to offer, and you'd do well to read and heed.

Simple, practical and tested advice [Posted on 2008-11-29]
Despite some enigmatic patches of new-age spirituality and some odd, rather distracting illustrations, Cody's forthright style, keep-it-simple philosophy and dry humor appealed greatly to me. And unlike with many authors, you can be sure that he's actually "walked the walk". When he writes about catching and eating bugs, mice and rats, for example, you can be sure that it's not from a hypothetical viewpoint! Literally everyone should be able to glean some new, useful and helpful information from this book. If you ever expect to experience a hurricane, earthquake or blizzard, you should buy it. If you don't ever expect to experience a hurricane, earthquake or blizzard, you really, really should buy it.
