Dan Martin grew up in Detroit, and at age 17 was sent to live with his father in Utah, where he got a taste of hunting, trapping and being self-sufficient. Dan joined the military and fought in the Gulf War earning medals in National Defense and Expeditionary Valor. At 25, he left a high paying career with Boeing Aerospace, cashed in his investments, sold his vehicles and two homes, and left society completely. For the next 6 years, he lived with his wife, 100% off-the-grid, and entirely cut-off from society. Dan's book "Apocalypse, How to Survive a Global Crisis" has put him in the position of being widely considered an expert in the field.
