When (if?) the Apocalypse comes, the MMA community should fair well – after all, Forrest Griffin already wrote his manifesto on how to survive the end of times, and now veteran MMA author Sam Sheridan (The Fighter's Heart; The Fighter's Mind) has offered up his guide – The Disaster Diaries: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Apocalypse.
If anyone was to feel comfortable handling a grid down, end of civilization situation it should have been Sheridan – he's trained and competed in boxing and MMA, he's worked as a sailor and cowboy, fought wildlife fires, and worked construction at the South Pole. But having a young family to care for now made him feel inadequate for the Apocalypse. So he decided to become proactive (or paranoid, depending on your point of view) and get better prepared. And he was kind enough to document his preparation steps in his new book. Sheridan learns to effectively use various weapons. He learns how to survive in the wilderness and in the Arctic. He learns to steal cars from an ex gang member. He brushes up on his emergency medical training. And he writes about his travails in such an entertaining way (interspersed with a fictional, fantasy Apocalyptic story involving earthquakes, zombies, and aliens) that the book (like his other two) becomes a page turner, whether you are an Apocalypse believer or not.
Funny, informative, and sometimes scary, The Disaster Diaries is definitely worth your attention.
