LAW Wednesday

5/10/2017

1 Comment

 
Good morning! I hope your week has been going well.
For this edition of LAW Wednesday, I thought we would discuss some survival aspects of this series. Many people recognize the ‘teaching’ moments in my work, like cooking food in a thermos and great fire starting ideas, but the books also give a basic idea of how to:
  • Fight an occupation force
  • Survive a gunshot wound
  • Set up an underground shelter
  • Run a refugee camp
  • Slaughter big animals
  • Collect water from various places
  • Treat minor illnesses
When I first got the idea for this series, I wanted it to be great fiction, but I also wanted to make it something that people could really use, but I doubted anyone would read a dry set of articles on survival topics. So I decided to write it into the story. It helped that these moments made sense to the plot. Now, I look at it like “How would people survive that moment? And I pick one part of it to demonstrate a survival technique. For example, in book 9, we go to an abandoned town that had already been looted, but we were still able to collect some food and fuel, along with baby formula-something that will vanish as fast as the milk after shtf. I’ve actually been doing that over the course of the books. A couple novels back, we saw that an old train station can have tons of food and water just sitting there, but when Seth was hit with that pickax, we also learned there are crazy people everywhere. The LAW series is a learning experience from start to finish. I can’t wait until we get onto the boat and then the island. I’ve got so much to share! Lol. Scared yet?
I need to put a disclaimer here: I am not responsible for crap that happens if you try these things without researching them or before the world actually collapses. If you think you can treat a gunshot wound instead of going to the hospital, I can’t fix that and I’m not responsible it. Now, if you’re in an awful survival situation and can’t get to a hospital or if aliens land, yes, use it. I still think you should research ANY of the methods in my work BEFORE you ever try them and before you buy any related gear or supplies. All of this stuff really does require more than a quick paragraph in a fiction book to understand.
Here are a few other lessons I’ve layered into this 6482 page (currently) series. Did you catch them all?
  • A list of places to find food and supplies
  • Multiple ways and places to collect and clean water
  • How to set up a quarantine zone
  • How to handle strangers
  • Signs of illnesses
  • How to think ahead and keep it to yourself
  • The need for signal and codes when communication isn’t possible through normal means
  • How to use the weather to your advantage
  • How to put in stitches
  • Basic firearm safety
  • Concealment methods
  • Gardening basics
  • Picking a shelter or den site, where to camp
  • Scavenging
  • Alternative health choices, like fish antibiotics when the ‘human’ kind isn’t available.
  • Defensive and offensive driving
 
I hope you never need to use the information in my stories, but if you do, I hope it helps you survive and create your own Safe Haven, no matter what the issue. Just remember, people are the #1 problem during and after a crisis. Watch your six.

That’s all for this week, world. May your powder stay dry, but never be needed.
Waving at you,
Angie
