This manual is written for young adults (and anyone who is new to prepping) who have an interest in sharpening their self-reliance skills. This manual is an invaluable resource for parents to teach and mentor their teens. The CM-4 is a mix of general preparedness information, situational awareness, crime prevention, and self-reliance content. Printed in full color with detailed photos and graphics that get the information across in a clear, concise manner without a lot of the typical jargon in the prepper community. We discuss common day-to-day threats as well as the less likely national level doomsday crisis.

This book is not your typical wilderness survival manual or the "how to survive a bear attack" outdoor skills guide. It does not focus on less likely scenarios that would require carrying around gold coins or rebuilding society after a collapse. We have written this in the context of real teenager lives and actual circumstances to help you prepare for the higher probability crisis events.

This manual is written jointly by Cody Morris (an 18 year-old high school senior) assisted and guided by his dad Jack Morris (CM-1 and CM-2 author and leader of The Professional Citizen Project team) to provide you with a relevant and accurate teen and young adult perspective on prepping.
