I usually spend a lot of time writing these emails, which is why you
don’t receive them that often from me.

This one is an exception.

Just want to quickly let you know that it seems the Emergency “Life
Hacking” Book Tour is continuing.

I will be in France next week, and Australia shortly afterward.

Here are the dates if you can make it. Note that some of the
Australia locations are still being finalized:

PARIS, FRANCE
Friday, June 12th at 6:00pm

122, Rue Chemin Vert
              +33 1 49 29 48 55         +33 1 49 29 48 55
Special Guest: My Dad

(NOTE: I had received a few emails from French lairs, but they’re
now firmly buried in the inbox. So if you run a lair there, send
an email titled “PARIS” so we can get back in touch before I arrive.)

Looking forward to FINALLY touring these countries. And hopefully
more soon. The Estonian edition of The Game is coming out soon -
for real - and I’m told that Tallinn is amazing…

On another note, I recently received three separate emails saying
that Emergency actually saved someone’s life. And every one was
for the same reason: someone’s friend or parent experienced a
medical emergency. And because the readers had taken either CERT
training, the American Heart Association CPR class, or Red Cross
CPR, First Aid, and AED, they were able to respond effectively.

Thanks for sending in the inspirational stories. And remember that
Emergencies are not just natural, economic, and terrorist disasters,
but sometimes personal. So if you DON’T know what to do if
you witness someone experiencing a heart attack, a seizure,
anaphylactic shock, a broken limb, a car accident, or any other
trauma or tragedy, now is the time to learn. Because later may be
too late.

Hope to see you at the signings, where I’ll be teaching some
slightly more uplifting (and subversive) survival skills. And, of
course, answering your game questions…

Best,
Neil

P.S. I’ve also received a lot of emails asking if Emergency
preparation is expensive. And actually, self-sufficiency is a much
more affordable way to live. To choose a random example, buying
a chick costs three dollars. So for basically the price of a carton
of eggs, you can get the whole factory - and a new pet.

More to the point, if you are interested in taking the CERT classes
mentioned in the book, they’re very good and they’re very free. You
can find out where they’re taking place in your state (if you’re in
America) here:
