The book X-Events: The Collapse of Everything
by John L. Casti will be released today. I recently received a review copy and I can vouchsafe that it is a book worth reading. Casti is a great author, and while a couple of the scenarios are far-fetched (such as “gray goo”), many of them will be of great interest to SurvivalBlog readers. Here is a summary: “X-Events provides a provocative tour of the catastrophic outlier scenarios that could quickly send us crashing back to the preindustrial age: global financial “black swans”; a worldwide crash of the Internet that would halt all communication; the end of oil; nuclear winter; “nanoplagues”; robot uprisings; electromagnetic pulses; pandemic viruses; and more. You won’t ever look at the world the same way again.”

Paracord: The Most Versatile Item In Your Bug-out Bag. JWR Adds: Not only does paracord have umpteen uses, but it makes a great barter item. Large rolls are the most economical way to buy. And of course these are easily divisible into shorter hanks for resale. If you buy full 1,000 foot rolls of paracord in olive drab and coyote brown, you will find that it is like putting money in the bank.
