About the Author
Born in California Walter "Glen" Martin was raised at the base of the Strawberry Mountains and later near the Cascade Mountain rage of Oregon. He spent his youth as an avid hunter and fisherman. Knowing well how to live off the land it was not uncommon for Glen to head up into the mountains often alone on a hunting or fishing trip with little more than his rifle or fishing pole.

Now living in the mountains of Northern Idaho with his fiance Glen has settled into an off-grid lifestyle where he owns and operates PrepperBroadcasting.com a 24/7 internet radio station broadcasting over 50 "How To" shows devoted to self-reliance and independence.
