The Survivor Volume 2 Number 6 (1977) By Kurt Saxon
 
In the author's own words: "The Survivor is the first publication preparing its readers for the total collapse of our economy and social system. The Survivor is not an alarmist publication, nor does it give false hope to those who believe they can ride out the coming calamities through 'wise investing.' Instead, The Survivor shows you how our great-grandparents provided for their own needs and for those of their neighbors. With The Survivor, you can, without buying commercial 'survival' foods and products, protect your home, feed your family, and be of such value to your neighbors that they will defend you rather than loot you."

The series consists mostly of old public domain articles, which Mr. Saxon felt would be of interest to those who wish to live in various degrees of independence. All of the included projects focus on utilizing a minimum of time, effort, and money to create something that is built to last. Skimming these articles makes one realize that, in general, the old ways are still best.

Interspersed throughout the series are essays on various topics of survival penned by Mr. Saxon. They are always stimulating and enjoyable to read. His intelligent and mostly level-headed attitude towards things is a far cry from the crazed-paranoiac rantings those who know nothing of survivalism may expect. It is hardly a wonder he was printed amongst the likes of Mel Tappan.

These books are more difficult to find, as they are out of print.
 
 
Kurt Saxon (born Donald Eugene Sisco; March 6, 1932 – August 16, 2021) was an American writer, radio host, survivalist and the author of The Poor Man's James Bond, a series of books on improvised weapons and munitions.
 
In 1976, he began publishing The Survivor to celebrate forgotten pioneer skills. These newsletters combined Saxon's articles with reprints of articles on 19th-century technology of interest to the survivalist movement. He later compiled the material into a series of books by the same name.
 
As his publisher, Saxon advertised his work in such publications as the Berkeley Barb.
