Urban Survival: When The World As You Know It Has Changed Overnight
Michael Garver is a Vietnam veteran and served as a Deep Sea Diver. Before his tour he trained in the Panamanian jungle for wilderness survival and jungle warfare. During his service he was wounded and spent six weeks in the Army/Navy hospital in VietNam, then following his discharge he returned to California. Needing more adventure, he traveled to South America to hone his survival skills and live off the land for two years in the Altiplano of Peru, and into the jungles of Bolivia and Ecuador with a donkey carrying his gear. He eventually returned to California and earned a double Masters degree in genetics and agronomy. Since then, he has been a field geneticist for a major seed company, landscape designer, construction supervisor, and consulted for Southern California Edison, helping people save money, energy, and the environment.  He currently resides in Southern California.
