About Claude Davis

I’m NOT what some people would call a Doomsday prepper. I don’t think the world is going to end anytime soon, but I do believe that all of us will end up facing some hardships during our lifetime.

Me personally…this is what I prep for. I don’t like to place my family’s lives in the hands of others. I like to think I am in charge of my own destiny, just as our grandparents and great-grandparents were in charge of theirs.

They stockpiled food for winter and for dark times. They created their own remedies from wild plants so when they couldn’t afford meds during the Great Depression, they could still treat injuries and diseases.

I deeply think that the crisis we are all prepping for is what folks 150 years ago called daily life:

no electricity, no modern medicines, no refrigerators, no phones, no Internet, no pharmacies, no Walmart, and no effective law enforcement.
But they got things done—or else we wouldn’t be here!

What it basically comes down to is that previous generations were a lot more self-reliant than we are. That’s why America has never been more vulnerable than it is today.

While most people nowadays tend to be obsessed with everything “new” — with technology, smartphones, social media, and cars that drive themselves — I was always fascinated by what I think was a happier, wiser and healthier America: a country of more independent people, who held down jobs and could care for their families, who took responsibility for themselves, who were proud of being American, and who dreamed of building a better country.

Progress has brought us so many good things, but in many ways, things used to be much better. We are smarter—but we’re not wiser. We own more stuff—but it’s stuff we don’t really need. And we live longer lives—but we’re not healthier.

The saddest thing is that right now we’re sitting on the edge of oblivion. We no longer know our forefathers’ skills, nor do we remember how to survive without electricity, supermarkets or pharmacies.

The truth is we have never been more disconnected from life, from the world, from the soil, from the trees, and from our own souls.

Ever since my retirement, I decided to move back on my old family farm. There, I picked up skills I had not practiced for many years, like building a log cabin, and I also started to dedicate more and more time to making and saving and the lost foods of our grandparents.

This is why I put together my first book "The Lost Ways": to save our forefathers’ survival skills and I co-authored "The Lost Book of Herbal Remedies": to save the most powerful remedies that we’ve lost to history. So far I had to sift through mountains of information, and I don’t think I could have done any of it without the help of the notes made by my late grandfather, who has always kept a record of the LOST FOODS that filled the pantries, larders and the bellies of crisis survivors from the age of the Pharaohs all the way up to the end of the Cold War.

The peace and solitude I’ve enjoyed here have been put to good use! I was finally able to publish The Lost Super Foods and save the lost recipes and survival food knowledge of our forefathers for future generations.

With it, I’ve tried to make the connection between the old pioneer ways of preserving food and more modern techniques that will come to good use when supermarkets close down and food becomes scarce.

My ultimate goal with this guide is to have everyone set up their very own reliable, long-lasting stockpile in their household and learn how to cook and preserve their food for their family.

I hope that today, you will become one too.

God Bless!
Claude
