About the authors:
Claude Davis is a passionate advocate for self-sufficiency and living off the land, inspired by the wisdom of previous generations. An old-fashioned man in the truest sense, he believes in “practice what you preach” and leads by example. Claude lives with his wife and two children in a log cabin he personally built, where they embrace a lifestyle of cooking over an open flame, making their own clothes, and stockpiling homemade canned goods.
His fascination with the past comes from a deep respect for the independence and resilience of those who lived without the modern conveniences we take for granted today. For Claude, the simplicity and resourcefulness of those 150 years ago—living without electricity, computers, supermarkets, or pharmacies—provides valuable lessons on how to survive and thrive in any crisis.
He sees the hardships of early life as the foundation that shaped strong, capable individuals and built the foundation of modern America. Claude believes that this way of life transformed soft, dependent people into strong, self-reliant adults ready to face any challenge.
In his work, Claude aims to bring these teachings back into the modern world, equipping people with the skills and knowledge to live independently and be prepared for whatever life may throw at them.
