Man of the House: A Handbook for Building a Shelter That Will Last in a World That Is Falling Apart

by C. R. Wiley, Leon J. Podles (Foreword by), Allan C. Carlson (Afterword)

Overview

What is your plan for the end of the world as we know it? How will you protect the people you love? What will you leave to them when you are gone? The good news is this is not the first time the world has ended. What's more, men were made for times like these. And the men of the past--the good ones, anyway--have left us a plan to follow. They built houses to last--houses that could weather a storm. This book contains their plan.
