As a nod to British Foreign Secretary Sir Edward Grey, who said, on the eve of the First World War in 1914: “The lamps are going out all over Europe ...” but in our case, they’re going out figuratively all over America, as we’re in the grips of a major pandemic. The empty freeways, vacant malls, gutted grocery stores, and otherwise gloomy silence creeping through nearly every neighborhood in America is evidence of unprecedented times not yet seen in our lifetimes. Everything is being closed, cancelled, or put on an indefinite hold until COVID-19 either winds itself through the population or we discover that this extreme form of social distancing is effective.
The icy clutches of fear, mistrust, and angst seem to grip the entire world, as selfish hoarding, resistance to government mandates, and the rise of the anti-vaxer voice are sewing discord, dissonance, and dissention. Where can you turn for truth?
The Summer 2020 issue of Survivor’s Edge magazine offers of compendium of counsel on defeating the coronavirus in its tracks. Within a nearly 20-page special section on the COVID-19, medical experts parse out the truth about the pandemic, weeding through myths and misinformation to provide the base facts: How it affects you and what you can do to stay safe from infection. Then survival/prepper specialists weigh in on how to keep you and your family safe during these insecure times.
The remainder of the issue provides, as you’d expect, top-notch information regarding the gear, techniques, and skills needed to persevere through any emergency or survival situation. Our man in the field, Joshua Swanagon, scoured this year’s SHOT Show to find the 21 best blades of the year, and Jeff Anderson explains the benefits of a machete for self-defense. Frank Jardim takes you on an especially quiet hunt with a suppressed rifle, and Alex Landeen shows off Springfield’s latest pew launcher: The EVAC 5.56. You’ll learn how to handle your emotions during an emergency, survive a hostage crisis, how to build a Russian-inspired small-game trap, and what are the best survival apps for your apocalypse-enabled device. And if you need to build a debris hut in a pinch or have a discussion in Morse Code or semaphore flags, we’ve got you covered too!
