When the Grid Goes Down: Hunting for Food in Northern Indiana (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798285624974)

If the power grid goes down, grocery stores empty, and help does not come - could you feed yourself?

When the Grid Goes Down is a no-nonsense survival hunting guide written for real people facing real shortages, not fantasy scenarios or extreme gear lists. This book focuses on practical food acquisition in Northern Indiana, using common tools, local wildlife, and time-tested methods that work when systems fail.

This is not a sport-hunting book. It is a calorie-focused survival manual designed for beginners and experienced outdoorsmen alike.

Inside, you will learn:

- What animals in Indiana provide the most reliable food in a grid-down situation
- How to hunt, trap, clean, cook, and preserve meat without electricity
- Quiet hunting methods for rural and urban environments
- Legal realities, moral decisions, and survival ethics before and after collapse
- Traps and snares that work while you sleep
- Cooking and meat preservation with fire, smoke, salt, and cold
- How to hunt when injured, alone, or low on energy
- Forgotten old-timer techniques that still work today

This guide covers squirrels, rabbits, raccoons, birds, deer, frogs, fish, and overlooked game, with step-by-step explanations written in plain language. No expensive gear. No macho nonsense. Just usable knowledge.

Written by Midwest author Jennifer Wheeler, this book was created for people who want to be prepared - before they are forced to survive.

Whether you live in a small town, rural farmland, or the edge of a city, this book belongs on your shelf or in your bug-out bag.
