Introduction

If the end of the world as we know it were to occur, there would be mass looting and scavenging. Homes, hospitals and shops would be prime targets and would be quickly cleared out. Food and weapons would be top of the list for most looters and would go quickly.

There are however many every day, common items that many looters would leave untouched because they may not realize just how valuable these items are. This book will tell you what these things are and exactly what they can be used for.

For example the cover of this book has broken glass and a teddy bear on it. But a great scavenger would see a knife and some tinder.

This book will not only give you ideas on what you can scavenge, but it could also give you some ideas of some great multi-use items that you can keep in your bug out bag. As many of the items in this book have a whole host of survival uses and applications.

A Quick Note:

Just before we get started, I should also mention that I refer to a few ways of making small lanterns and candles in this book which obviously require some kind of fuel source. So as I don’t want to repeat myself every time when I say to dip something into a liquid fuel source, I am referring to something like oil, liquid/melted tree sap or animal fat.

The oil can be vegetable oil, sunflower oil, olive oil, automotive oil etc. so can be scavenged. Tree sap is easily found dripping from trees throughout wooded areas. Animal fat for use as a fuel can be collected dripping from meat that you are cooking. Anyway, on with the book!
