Publisher's summary

If you enjoy a tale as told around the campfire with a jug of "Who Shot John" passing around, then pull up a stump and kick back. If you are a person who has ever in real life fired a rifle, killed an animal for its meat, gutted it, skinned it out, and built a campfire to cook it; if you have ever ridden a horse in the wilds of the high country, boiled coffee over the fire, and slept out in a blizzard; or if you're someone who always wanted to do these things, then please listen on....

This is the story of a man in his later years, who finds himself a very long way from home when the SHTF. It's a tale of the drive to get home, come hell or high water.

TJ Reeder is the real deal. Former Marine, former LEO, competitive shooter, Montanan for better than half of his life. He's spent time living from Maine to the Mojave desert, and Alaska to Texas. He's soldiered and camped and cowboyed and rodeoed, all over this nation, so when he spins his yarns, they're not patching together other books he's read or "as seen on TV". Most of the time, he's "been there-done that" and has the well-worn T-shirt to prove it.

TJ brings a unique viewpoint to the survival genre that is half experience, half projection, and half humor to his stories. And yes, I can math. His stories are just that big. His main character is not the run-of-the-mill Rambo or soft clueless victim of most survival stories, and he deals with every hardship with ingenuity, common sense, and humor. So y'all sit back and relax; yer fixin' to be entertained.

Fantastic!

Fantastic story so far! We don’t know why yet but everything electronic is out and of course all the bad elements of society are rampant! Our main character saved someone so now he has a companion on his long journey home. I can’t wait to listen to the next book!
