Learn the 8 secret skills of an Ex-IDF Special Forces operator that will keep you safe and prepare you for any situation - from a street mugging all the way to a full blown global catastrophe!

“Just because you’re paranoid doesn’t mean they aren’t after you.”
Joseph Heller, Catch-22

This is a great start to becoming more prepared for any situation. Our world is truly strange that so many good and helpful people find themselves preyed upon by the criminal elements. In case of an emergency or a catastrophe those odds may become even worst.

My name is Roy Shepard and I’m a former IDF (Israeli Defense Forces) Special Forces Operator. During my military service, I took part in countless missions behind enemy lines and later trained young cadets as a Master Sergeant. I specialize in weapons training, stealth and camouflage, and Krav-Maga. I’ve been in active reserve duty for the past 20 years and spent much of that time formulating and implementing defense strategies and drills in military bases all over Israel. Highly trained in martial arts, I specialize in Judo, Jiu-Jitsu, Aikido, and Russian Systema—with both hand-to-hand combat and melee weapon handling. I am also an expert marksman with both close-quarters and long-range weapons.

The IDF is one of the most effective militaries in the world with proven strategies and tactics that have kept Israel safe for the last 70 years. The harsh reality is that Israel is a small country surrounded by hostile nations that have been intent on destroying it since it was formed in 1948. The IDF has defended Israel in eight full-out wars and fended off many incursions and terrorist attacks.

The skills that I’m about to share with you are the same ones used by the IDF Special Forces Operators to stay safe in hostile situations and will allow you to do so as well. Be it fending off a mugger in a dark parking lot or surviving a post-catastrophe scenario.

The reality is that we are always only moments away from danger and knowing the exact step-by-step response can be the difference between life, injury, or even death. Using the knowledge in this book you will learn how to avoid, escape, or survive numerous dangerous situations using minimal effort.

The number one thing you must remember is that being efficient can save your life. If you don’t take steps to conserve your energy, you will get tired very quickly and may lose the battle. Professional fighters can hold a full combat event for a few seconds and after that they rely solely on technique to survive and accomplish the mission.

This book will teach you eight of the most effective techniques to stay safe:

1. Situational awareness
2. Tactical relocation
3. Planning for emergencies
4. Survival self-defense
5. Team roles
6. Communications
7. Fitness
8. Survival tools

I look forward to seeing you as part of our community at Prepper Legend and hope you enjoy this book at least as much as I enjoyed writing it.

And above all else stay safe!

Your friend always,

Roy Shepard

Riveting reading with practical advice that everyone can apply. Isn't gung go and emphasises awareness as a first line of defense. I appreciate that it isn't an equipment race, and emphasises self reliance for those first few critical moments.
Essential reading for anyone (and everyone) wherever you are.

Not a very technical book, but that’s not the audience it’s written for. For those who want to learn the basics of becoming more situationally-aware, it’s a great start.

Best Preparation Book for All Levels

Reviewed in the United States on October 1, 2017

Verified Purchase

This book gives you tips that others do not and they come from someone that has used these skills in real life. He even gives you more tips and tricks and I found them very helpful. You can become overwhelmed with the different information out there and he helps you get clarity on things you are confused about. Read this book not just once over and over until the information is embedded into your brain and you can recall it when necessary. Practice all the tips and tricks.

How much time does one want to spend preparing for something which likely will never happen? However, being prepared could save your life.

This book is a great summary of the most essential skills I'll ever need for survival. Being an Ex-IDF veteran myself, I can say for sure that this is a great summary and upgrade of all the techniques and then some. Excellent work on making it so clear and simple, I'd recommend it to anyone who wants to start getting ready for any situation.

Having been in the Combat Zone of Boston after dark, and the streets of Cebu City in the Philippines, and being confronted in both cases, I can verify the affectivness of this information. Awareness and attitude are your first and greatest defense!

Lame. No new information. The author is clearly just trying to take advantage of the current hype around the IDF

This overall a good read. It did not get as in depth as I had hoped on a lot of things. It did give me some real points to consider for my survival plans though. It also comes with a bunch of videos for the exercises and self defense and stuff. I only got to look at a couple of them so far but this " value added" little tidbit appeals to me greatly. I have already recommended it to friend.
