What happens the morning after martial law is declared? Not the Hollywood version. Not the abstract political theory version. The real version, where the gas stations go to ten gallon limits and the pharmacy starts rationing your medications and the checkpoint on the main road into town is adding two hours to your commute and nobody can give you a straight answer about how long any of it lasts.
Kyle Harrison has spent twenty years preparing ordinary families for extraordinary circumstances. In this volume of The Preparedness Post series, he walks you through exactly what a martial law declaration looks like on the ground, in a real town, affecting real people who were not ready for it and some who were.
Through the lens of a fictional but painfully realistic American town called Hillsbury, Virginia, Kyle breaks down the supply chain failures that follow every declaration, the gap between your constitutional rights on paper and your rights in the real world when a twenty three year old National Guardsman is making judgment calls at a checkpoint, and the specific decisions that separate the households who manage from the households who are in serious trouble by week three.
This is not a book about fear. It is a book about love made practical. The love that looks at your kids and your grandkids and your spouse and decides that someone in this family is going to have thought through the hard scenarios before the hard scenarios arrive.
Specific. Honest. Written in the plain spoken voice of a Missouri prepper who has made enough mistakes to know what actually works and enough friends across the political spectrum to know that preparedness does not belong to any one tribe.
The quiet times do not last forever. Use them well.
