New James Wesley Rawles Interview
New James Wesley Rawles Interview
I know we just had an interview posted with James Wesley Rawles, but this one is very informative. His new book, Founders, was released on September 25th and he has come out of hibernation to talk about it. The book chronicles the lives of several different groups and individuals who endure the coming economic crash. I am a big fan of the books and always interested to hear what James Wesley Rawles has to say. It may be a year or so before he reemerges on the interview circuit, so let’s learn what we can from one of the most respected preppers around.
James Wesley Rawles is a former army intelligence officer as well as an accomplished author. He has written How to Survive The End of The World as We Know It, which is exactly what it sounds like. In addition to Founders, he has also written 2 other fiction books on the coming collapse; Patriots and Survivors. James Wesley Rawles is also the creator of Survival Blog.com.
In this interview from Time Monk Radio, Rawles talks about the potential threats to our society and the possibility of a total collapse. He reminds us of the complete dependance on the grid and public water in major metropolitan areas. He points out that third world countries are much more resilient as they have to survive with much less assistance from the grid.Rawles suggests that a total collapse could cause a massive die of that could take out between 40% and 90% of the population.
He speaks briefly about the amount of people who are dependent on antidepressants and the hard withdraw they will go through in a collapse where their medication may not be readily available.

Holly-could not agree more with you about Patriots!
Recon- thanks for the link. Rawles is absolutely a guy that when he speaks, I listen.
I placed my post on the wrong day, but you know what I mean.
While I’m here, I’m also a fan of JW as I call him. I follow his blog and have his books. I’m currently half way through Founders. Patriots is my favorite though.
Love these Sunday posts. Just because there aren’t many comments, it doesn’t mean the posts aren’t being read. I’m reading them all. Thank you.
Thanks for reading and the encouragement!!!
